Another Draw Question - lose priority??

[Kawibunga]

Quick question folks. I've looked and can't seem to find where it says at what point do you lose your draw priority after not applying. I know you can miss one year (as I've done that often) What about 2?

I'm priority 2 this year for Cow Elk and Priority 6 for Antlered Elk. Problem is I have a shot at a cow with priority 2 and would like to put in for that but my Antlered Elk was last bumped in 2011 to a 6. So if I don't apply for Antlered in 2013 it would be a 2 year lapse instead of just 1. I'd hate to lose that priority.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

You don't lose your priority rating if you don't apply for a year. I haven't applied for WMU 300 elk for a few years, but my priority has remained the same.

Hi Scott

Thanks for the info, that's what I hoped but I'd not gone more than every second year before so wasn't sure.

You only lose your priority if you don't apply for 6 years I believe

you aren't supposed to lose it ever....but I know it has happened. a P3 disappeared on me after not applying for several years. that was a few years back and Im told it is fixed now.....but i print off everything every year now. i was told if i could provide proof i could have fixed my situation....but who the hell thinks of that at the time?

I think what happens is that AlbertaRelm only shows your priority history going back 6 years, but you shouldn't ever lose your priority

why not 999 it then you actually increase priority

Because he can only apply for one elk draw. read his first post.

And his post told pincherguy that info, did it? Some people.....
Maybe Pincher didn't know so he asked a question to be answered, but again you feel the need to act like a child.

Your ASSuming that pincher knew that you could not apply for both at the same time and you decided to act like a
