Issue for Discussion changes to
draw system for high priority draws
Some Special Licence draw codes will never offer a
realistic opportunity except to those who applied first
year.
Youths just entering into hunting will never have
opportunity for some Special Licences;
WMU 437 sheep 420 years to get through current
applicants
WMU 444/446 470 years to get through current
applicants
When applicants reach a priority of 10, then enter the
random draw on a weighted basis;
10 years =10 times name entered in random draw,
11 years = 11 times name entered in random draw
12 years = 12 times name entered in random draw
I don't know what the best options are after reading this thread. Plain and simple there just isn't enough animals to go around with the amount of people entering this province. I do agree with raising the cost to enter the draw, but only to say $15.00 max. and the extra money goes to more FW in the field. The animals are a public resource and we shouldn't be putting them out of reach. Also agree with enforcing residency, and having to purchase the tag if you are drawn. If your not prepared to pay, don't enter the draw. If you buy hockey tickets and can't make it to the game do you get your money back?
If all of these things are done it could make a difference. Just doing one or the other is going to have little impact. Any other Idea's that could help with the problem, that don't exclude people or aren't self serving?

there should be no increase for any of the charges to residents. NR yes big time. As for the sheep tags they should change it to a lotto as mentioned above after all at the top priority draw there tags. Fair is fair and those people have a very long time invested in these draws. After that go straight lotto for all bighorn tags.
