Last year I started applying for sheep and goat in Colorado as a nonresident, but found the point system to be odd. Can anyone explain why you have to have 3 preference points before you can be eligible to draw and then be eligible to gain bonus points? That doesn't bug me too much but the fact that I have to pay for the tag up front even though I'm not even eligible to draw a tag is not cool. I'm willing to fork out the money to play the game, but it just seems odd that you are paying for something that you can't have. Maybe theres a good explanation behind this.
