It seems like theyd have to have purchased a traditional b10 tag. So i dont follow?

Why would they buy what they can get for free?

All this discussion makes it clear that nothing is confusing and convoluted and that they’re doing a great job with simplicity.

If you’re correct @Labman, you are absolutely right to ask the question why we would give NR landowners preference over R landowners?

My argument from the other direction asks why we differentiate between residency if it’s appropriate to grant landowner preference to anyone since the land and wildlife habitat is in MT regardless of residency of the owner.

If there isn’t existing preference for R landowners enrolled in BM to buy an extra bonus point then why should they have to compete directly against NR landowners who can buy an extra bonus point and are in the same LO preference pool as they are?

Spot on.
