Draws were a bust, now what...

I have been pretty lucky getting drawn every year. Now this year, nothing. I am considering the Whitetail general licence. Where would you go using Calgary as a starting point? I was looking at EID-Brooks or Crown out near the trunk road (not from the road!). Is Brooks crazy busy? Thanks.

PS I have not hunted White Tail for years, Mulies for awhile now.

Caroline area, Nordegg

Thanks for the direction. I will see what WMU that is and look into it. I guess nothing trumps getting out there and putting some miles down scouting different areas.

You can also get a general elk tag for quite a few zones SW of Calgary. Black bear and general whitetail too. Most of 400 and 402 is crown land. Also, there are quite a few antlerless mulie and whitetail tags available through the undersubscribed system in the 100 WMUs.

OR, buy a bow, learn how to shoot, and you wont need draws for most things
