I have got 10 preference points for the Presidents Island hunt going into this year. If I put in for another hunt , say Catoosa, as my second choice and get drawn. Will I lose my presidents island points ?

Don't do it!
So there isn't a way to get a preference and keep the ones I already have for PI and draw another hunt?
Nope. You could theoretically draw 2 hunts at the same time. But it would be a gamble, no matter what. Preference points go to zero the second you draw a hunt, whether it's first or second choice/second draw.

Most years Catoosa has leftover permits. If I had 10 pts I would stay the course for PI.
How many points would you have to have before you would have a chance to be drawn for PI this year?
Georgia allows you to wager points but TN doesn't. Just one more reason the GA system is better. Wish TWRA would do some benchmarking.
I suspect 10-12, but you would need to contact TWRA license and quota hunt office and see how many hunters are sitting on 10+ points. They can provide a points breakdown if you want to know.
I drew PI main island in 2017 with 9 points. Biggest waste of my time ever, rather than meeting some great TWRA staff and nice hunters from across the State. Hopefully it has rebounded some, but it is a FAR CRY from the sacred hunt it was in the early 2000s.
I have 9 points, but just put in for a point this year.
