RE: 4 weeks to deer tag draw
Just looking at last years regs. for Alberta, with the over the counter licences (6 permits 9 tags) and if one was successful in all the posible draws (3 permits 4 tags) one could possibly shoot 5 bucks and 8 does.
Some of these permits are for Bow only and with some of them you could shoot a doe instead of a buck. This includes white-tail and mule deer.
Earliest deer season start was Aug. 25 (bow)and latest season was Dec. 14(Camp Wainwright Deer special licence)
A guy can hardly find time to hunt Moose, Elk, Pronghorn, Bighorn, Black bear, Goat (limited draw permits) or waterfowl and upland birds. And too bad I have to miss out on all the great fall fishing.
