Hunting Zone recommendations within few hrs of Calgary
Hi All,
I am new to Alberta. Have been going through the hunting draws booklets for the last couple of weeks trying to figure out what WMUs to put in for within a 2-3 hr distance from Calgary. 406/408 looked OK from just looking at the harvest reports. Would very much appreciate any and all guidance and recommendations from folks familiar with the area on what WMUs to apply for that have good access and wildlife. Would like to put in for both antlerless and antlered for whitetail and mule. Antlerless elk and cow or calf moose. Eventually I would be very happy to just get out a few times, and harvest one animal this season. I will get a bear tag as well. Not sure if there are good bear grounds nearby though. Thanks again! |

Thanks! So if i apply for a draw for Antlerless mule deer but do got get it, I can still buy a over the counter tag for Antlerless mule deer?
Also would appreciate any recommendations on WMUs near Calgary that I should apply for. I am going into this pretty cold. |

And stay away from WMU's south of Calgary. There is very little game there, just lots of trucks driving around all day. ;) |

try areas 316,412,414, just to start whitetail and antlered mule deer general,412,414 have antlered moose draws, takes a few years but lots of moose. most of these areas are crown land and no permission needed, about an hour drive from calgary. lots of deer, not many trophys, but lots of deer.also a healthy bear population/

Thanks a lot!! That helps.
One question: Say I apply for a elk or moose draw (only 1st choice, leaving 2 and 3 blank) and do not get drawn. Will I get a priority point and still be able to buy a general elk tag for non draw season? |
