Got selected as alternate for Cedar Creek 1/14 hunter’s choice gun hunt. If I accept, then don’t get moved up to hunter, would I lose my preference points? If moved up and for whatever reason can’t make the hunt and have to decline, I assume you lose the points.
No. You only lose points is you select a hunt and go on it. Or if you get selected and don’t go or if don’t cancel your hunt in the window required. Mrs. Bamaeyedoc had spinal stenosis in her neck and was in agony 3 weeks before her Portland hunt a few years ago. We made somebody’s day when she had to withdraw from the hunt. Her PP rolled over and 2 years later she had the hunt of her life on Portland.
You don’t lose PP as an alternate if you don’t get bumped to Hunter status.
