A step-by-step approach to figure out your bonus point and preference point totals in every state which will help you when applying for hunts
Let’s face it: for the most part, trying to find information on a state agency’s website can be downright confusing, especially when it comes to anything hunting-related.
So, to make things a little easier, below are links to articles on how to find out how many bonus points or preference points you currently have in each western state before the year's upcoming draw deadlines or, better yet, during the middle of the summer when you’re trying to stay ahead of the curve and are already planning ahead for the next year.
Knowing how many points you have is critical when you're researching hunting opportunities.
For each state, I have broken down my preferred method for navigating the game department's website to find out how many points I currently hold. All the state information is compiled in a simple step-by-step format for each state we currently cover on Insider.
Click on a state below, and you will be taken to the article that will walk you through the process of looking up your points:
Note: Alaska, Idaho, and New Mexico are not included because those are random draw states with no points.
At GOHUNT, we understand that keeping track of your points in one central place is vital. We have a feature called Point Tracker that allows you to enter the number of points you have for each state and species. Then, as you research through Filtering and Draw Odds, your point total will automatically be highlighted.
A GOHUNT membership makes it easy to find hunting opportunities by state, species, probability of draw odds success, and much more! Whether you have 0 points, max points, or any number of points, GOHUNT gives you the information you need to plan a successful hunt. In addition to our research tools, all Insiders have access to our GOHUNT mobile app, where you can plan a hunt on GOHUNT Maps, as well as research tools on the app to help you find hunting opportunities. GOHUNT Maps is also available on the web. GOHUNT Insider is the only complete and total package of tools to help you find the hunt you want this upcoming year or to help plan for hunts in the future.
