I hunted elk in 2006. After drawing the license it said "pref. points after draw: 1." I haven't applied since than. I tried to check on line and it only goes back 2 years.
8. Preference points accumulate until you draw a first-choice
license. If you don’t apply at least once within 3 consecutive
years for a deer, elk, pronghorn or bear license, you lose your
points for that species. Applying for preference points keeps
your file active.
