Antlerless Elk Quota Hunt February 2015
In response to concerns regarding the elk population at Canadian Forces Base Suffield (CFB Suffield), ESRD in partnership with the Department of National Defence at Canadian Forces Base Suffield is planning to hold a quota hunt for antlerless elk at CFB Suffield (wildlife management unit WMU 732) in February of 2015.
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
