I drew for West Central and a friend drew for Southwest. He’s never drawn a tag, and from hunting both areas in the past, I’m going to decline my West Central tag, hang onto my preference points, and we’re going to hunt the Southwest zone.
I thought I read that somewhere, that If you don't accept it you get to keep your points? Is that correct? I was finally selected for the delta this year with 65 preference points. It sure did take awhile and of course when I do get selected I have a conflict on the day of the mandatory training.
