[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 941138, member: 33822"] Let me start by saying my below comments are only to promote a healthy discussion ... not an argument. And maybe this shows my lack of knowledge on preference points. With that said, my understanding to move over to a banking system is to actually PREVENT preference point creep. There are lots of guys who have 15 - 20+ preference points but still cannot draw hunts like 201 because of preference point creep. Too many people keep waiting for only the top 2 or 3 premier hunts, and there's just not enough to go around each year to support the number of people who want to hunt them. Now all those guys who've waited all these years are simply not gonna blow 20+ points on a 9 point hunt. If you let these guys start dividing their points up they'll "settle" for a few other hunts which will open up the hunts on the high end. I do agree that over the next 5 years (time duration is a guess) it will make the mid-range preference point hunts much harder (impossible) to get, but that will be short lived until the overall number of high-point holders exhaust their points. So as I understand it, the preference point banking system will be good in the long run for hunters as a whole, but the short term will suck. [/QUOTE]
