Default Landowners Elk Tag

Can I apply online for a landowners elk tag or do I have to go directly to fish and wildlife? I've tried to find it on Albertarelm but haven't had any luck.

Gotta go to fish and feathers with your tax notice. Takes a couple of weeks.

How much land does one need to own before getting land owner tags? I'm just wondering as I'll be in the market for an acreage.

Not sure, I would think at least 160 acres but I really can't say for sure.

Yep it's 160acres M/L. We get one every year not drawn. You have to be not awarded (you have to apply for the draw) to obtain one. If you don't apply for the draw you cannot just go in and get a tag.

Tax notice as stated above or land title will work. Once the administrator has put you into the system you can purchase a tag. Last year she said just wait a day to make sure it went through.

And it's supposed to be used on your own land.

That is a more correct way to say it than I stated above. Never had to wait a day though, just purchased tag once administrator entered it in the system.

Yes that's correct. Depends on how long it takes them to enter you in the system.

It can only be used on your own deeded land and it is a cow tag only.

Yes, land owner tags are not wmu specific, they are only for a specific parcel of your own private land specified on your license.

Default land owner tag

I was also told this year you have to be farming the land you own.....
you cant be leasing it out or renting it out.......
Something that hasn't been investigated before.... so there may or may not be doing some honesty scrutiny behind the scenes now...

Might be worth asking to be safe...

correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the landowners supposed to have entered the draw for antlerless elk and been unsuccessful in the draw before being allowed a landowner tag?

Not entirely true. I can designate a person to get my landowners tag. For instance I own the land but I can designate my son or a hired hand.

Lol. Pay is the pits and the hours are long. The elk don't typically show up at my place until December and I put in for the early season but I did see a legal bull the other day in my hay field.

Do I have to loan you money and give you fatherly advice. If not we might be able to work out a adoption agreement.

This is false, they are good for all land you own within the specified WMU, form the regulations:

"The land identified in “3” above must be contained within the WMU or area identified as the first choice on the unsuccessful application for the
special licence draw. The licence will be valid for the season dates associated with this first choice and on all lands owned by the titleholder and
lying in the applicable WMU or area."

Yes that's the way I understand it as well. I'm unsure if let's say you've got more then 2 1/4s if 2 different people can get landowners tags. Like a husband and wife let's say.

What I meant was it's not valid throughout the entire wmu.

If each quarter is a joint title then yes, the two titleholder could apply for permits

LO tag is good throughout the WMU if you own more than one quarter.
You can claim a cow elk on one quarter, ur wife a MD buck or cow elk on the other quarter.
You can take ur cow elk on either quarter, her tag the same, either quarter.
Quarters can be 20 mi apart, as long as they are in same WMU.
The last LO license I got did not specify the LSD of the land, just the WMU.
The application was specific, but beyond that, the license / tag was not, just WMU.

So it didn't have to be used on your land, just the wmu your land is on?

I am going to ask F&W while I'm there to make sure because that's not what I was told.
