There will be two, four day hunting seasons as follows:
•February 02 - 05, 2015
•February 09 - 12, 2015

Each season will have an allocation of 125 antlerless elk licenses and each license will have two tags associated with it, allowing hunters to harvest two antlerless elk.

Hunting antlerless elk in February is not new in Alberta. It is a management tool used in areas where ungulate depredation is consistently a problem in late winter. There is currently a season in wildlife management unit 300 that runs between December 25, 2014 and February 21, 2015.

The licenses will be made available through a draw process. Applicants will have a specified time period in which to apply for a license on-line or via a license distributor. Successful applicants will be selected through a lottery style draw, making the process equitable for all Albertans. Hunt details are as follows:
•The application period will open at 9:00 am on January 05, 2015
•The application period will close at 11:59 pm on January 14, 2015
•Draw results will be available beginning at 9:00 am, Monday January 20, 2015. At this time, licenses will be available for purchase.
•Licences are available to residents of Alberta
•Group size for application is limited to two hunters.
•No partner licenses will be available.
•There is no priority associated with this opportunity. All applicants will have 0 priority and there are no priority points given for unsuccessful applicants.

So I have never applied for a group license before. I have also yet to add a partner post draw. Why do you figure they wrote it this way? If its a one time , no priority points lottery draw why would it matter? Does it just cut down on applications? By you and your buddy having to apply as a group
are they avoiding you applying and your buddy applying and then whoever is successful adds the unsuccessful as a partner?
