If you draw your first choice, your preference points drop to zero. There is no “banking” of preference points .

How do I get preference points ? You earn a preference point when you apply and are unsuccessful in drawing your first-choice hunt code. You can also just apply directly for a preference point (as your first-choice), and start accumulating them for future hunts. For elk, you are limited to one preference point per year.
