Default Troubles with draw

I’ve been hunting since I was able to and applied for draws, yada yada. I’ve never had to enter my hunter Ed no# since I got my win card. I did my training in jr. high and don’t have clue where it is. I don’t know what to do, do you? Thanks

I took my course years ago and never had to enter anything into alberta relm to do the draws. Did you have a tag last year? If it is the entry page just scroll down and hit continue as you don't need to enter anything.

It’s asking you to buy your wildlife certificate not enter your hunter Ed number. But the wildlife certificate and you’ll be able to enter your draws.

Good catch. Just add it to your cart first then add the draws to your cart.

Yeah this is the first year you’ve need the wildlife certificate. Put it in your cart along with your draws and you’ll be good to go.

The first thing I do every year, is to read the important changes for the year.

The website has made me buy the Wildlife Certificate every year since I started hunting in Alberta ~5 years ago.

Said you couldn't buy a hunting or fishing license without it...

I know... I did happen to read what was said. But I did just wake up.
Although, after thinking about it, maybe it wasn't during the draw process it made me buy the W/C.
Regardless, you do need it every year for the license. So I just pay for it when applying for draws.

I was told by a guy who knows a guy who knows another guy that you have to pop for the WC first as this prevents many greeny types who previously flooded the draw system to prevent legit hunters from getting tags and driving up the priority needed for some draws... anyone else hear this from a guy who knows a guy .....?????

This, and the second thing is don't wait until the last minute to do your draws just in case you have a problem
