Would you be okay with applying that to all draws?

On that vein, how about allowing non landowning residents the opportunity to get a one time, one priority point bump if they live in the zone, or have landowning family members / friends living in that zone willing to transfer that priority point bump to them?
No and No.
That being said, priority points should be able to be handed over or inherited by immediate family.

Yes, but to buy a hunting license you need to have the hunting portion attached. New hunters have to take the course. Anyone that applies for draws would need this. Presently they don't need it for applying.
Maybe make it a one time thing???

You wouldn't be purchasing the license for them, you would only be giving them your priority.

Understood, that would have to be changed to needing the hunting portion to apply. and , yes it would be open to abuse, just like a lot of other rules. But, if it was a one time thing for the receiver, he/she would think twice on which priority to use. The 437 trophy sheep or the 110 antlerless mule deer.
