Ok this is getting a little confusing. I am doing the same thing this year. Everything I have read says that you can buy another preference point at the time of applying. Then when you apply as a party your points are averaged among the group for the draw.

So how do you use your bladder and hard bottle system exactly? What I mean is do you keep clean water in the nalgene on your hip and then just use the bladder for dirty water or extra clean water? For example if you come across a place to get water, what are you doing? Again, pretty new to this...

Thermarest Xlite NXT - Seen a lot of good reviews on this one but more expensive than...
Can anyone on here comment on the space requirements requires to pitch this shelter compared to the Rincon? My main concern with the Rincon is the foot print but the extra space looks really nice to have. Plus the ability to run a stove. I'm mainly going to use the shelter for run and gun elk...
