Special licence draws soon!
The special licence draws will soon be upon us in Alberta and other provinces I assume.
It seems that there is a new factor in Alberta in planning what to apply for. We had a really bad winter two years ago and Pronghorn numbers and deer numbers were effected in the east part of the province. So some people are planning to apply 999 (you get a year of priority with no chance of being drawn) some licences.
I have lots of priority for Archery Antelope and some priority for Camp Wainwright deer. But I may use the 999 so I do not get drawn this year.
With moose I usually apply for a zone close to home where I can spend more time hunting moose and where I hunt deer so I always have the chance at a moose.
But I am thinking I may apply where I may have a better chance to get a permit and a better chance to get a moose, even if I have to travel a lot farther to hunt there.
