From the Big Game Brochure: POINTS ACCUMULATE until you draw a first-choice license. If an applicant fails to apply for a species or has not purchased a license for that same species during any given 10-year period, all accumulated preference points for that species become void.Do you have to apply then every year to make sure you don't lose your 3 points? I know other states if you don't apply after a few years than you lose them
