Your Idea's, to face lift our current Draw System
10 quick Idea's of the top of my head
They may need tweeking, and are not set in stone in my mind!! 1. Verify all WIN #s are valid people Proof of passed hunters training certificate Proof of Residency Picture I.D verification to obtain Win card ( and even have picture on Win cards) 2. New Albertans have to have residency for 1 year before obtaining a Win Card ( Canadian armed forces are waived one year wait) 3. Price increase for draw application 4. Deadline date to purchase draws . Failure to do so, will forfeit that said draw, and its priority points. Draws not purchased at deadline, go to the next available hunter. Doctors note or justified unforeseeable circumstances explaination can save forfeiture of priority points. ( if accepted before the deadline) 5. Draws that have a priority of more than 7 years , work off the priority system, with an allotment for 1 lottery tag, of which the hunter has less than 7 years priority. 6. Non resident hunters have their own dedicated draws, with a smaller % dedicated to them, according to harvest reports . 7. Harvest reports are mandatory at the end of every season, for all hunters. Draws can not be purchased until survey is completed. 8. Non residents can not be hunter hosted for , Mule deer, Sheep and Antelope, and Moose. 9. Create a lottery draw( like 438, a, b,c) in all sheep zones for November. ( limit of one lottery per zone, and perhaps it can me ran much like the goat draw, on zones that have less Bighorn numbers) 10. Limit the number of successful draws, someone can obtain in a year. ( example 3 successful draws per season) I also have a Trophy hunting draw system Ive thought of. That can co-exist with the system we basically have. I can pm anyone interested, it still needs input and tweeking. |

I actually agree with every point. Pm that other system. Only thing I would add is a slight price increase in draw applications and tags.

As a suggestion, Even if Potty never asked for it. :lol:
For starters at least, instead of this becoming another debate thread, just post up your own ideas. |

8 of them are pretty good. number 5 is only ok. I see that aimed largely at sheep. it is better than the status quo. number 10 is cheese. you actually said in the other thread you are against it too.....if you can only draw 3, then you better not apply for more than 3.
as for the trophy ideas...you have posted them before and it has been explained pretty well why it wont work. there is no control over harvest numbers on any given year. a few low numbers could blow up if everyone cashed in on the same year resulting on overharvest. as a trophy hunter, I like the concept, but in reality game management has to take precedent. the only suggestion I have is to raise application fees on premium species. its the only way to eliminate the wife, the neighbour, the dog, and the kid down the street applying so old joe can sneak a mountain goat out of the Wilmore at 2 am and try to convince everyone the kid or the dog went hunting. |

I am on board with most of the points but point 10 doesn't make a bunch if sense to me....I hunt all species in the province (or try to).....nice to focus on moose one year then elk then mule deer then sheep, etc. hard to pick only 3 to focus on....if someone gets 4 tags in a year and cannot hunt on all the tags, them they have lost the priority points anyhow and are back if the buss the following year....
It's a logistic nightmare to try and limit swine to only holding 3 draws tags if they are still able to apply for as many as they want. Limit the nonresidents to applying for only 1 or 2....that makes sense. LC |

As soon as you draw a tag, you are charged for that tag.

If you fail to purchase tags a second time, in another year, you are suspended from using the draw system. |

Point 6 is a good one.

do I get a carry over since I drew nothing last year? that should mean 6 is acceptable this year then right? |
I'm pretty good with all the points mentioned and could live with them.
I'd also like to see the 999 program dropped completely. Proiprities should be put on what you can hunt. You could skip a year and not lose points but not just apply to get points. I know lots like to bank point and plan hunts but it's tough as to many people get high point numbers and we are right back here. |

"6. Non resident hunters have their own dedicated draws, with a smaller % dedicated to them, according to harvest reports ."
I would add that any species that residents have to draw for would not be available to Non-residents. |
Ok, forget my suggestion. :lol:

:angry3: :) It is Not a good idea! This idea is Guaranteed to take away licences from residents. Seems we need an example. Allocation is 100 licences. NR capped to 10 licences. In a separate NR Draw - NR are guaranteed 10 licences - Residents are limited to 90 licences In a combined draw - NR may draw from 0 to 10 licences - residents may draw from 90 to 100 licences. A separate NR draw is guaranteeing the loss of up to 10% of the tags for residents. In my best Sheephunter typing.... Ugh. :) |
