southern hunting ab

[edsonhunter]

im looking for a different hunt next year and im thinking southern hunting is in order maybe antelop or southern mule deer how hard is it to get the draws for the areas or is there a bow season i havent even made it south of red deer yet lol

Both antelope and mule deer require a draw that takes a lot of years for antelope and maybe just a few for mule deer in some areas. Mule deer can be hunted with a bow without a draw in some areas you have to look at the regs for the areas you may want to hunt.

1. start applying for ALL the antelope permits right now. Hunting a non-trophy antelope is the best "dress rehearsal" for hunting a trophy buck later on.

2. Take a few trips down into the area you intend to hunt in the summer to go fishing or just to look around and make some land owner contacts.

Good luck!

When I lived in Edmonton I used to hunt and fish a lot around Edson country. Sundance and little sundance areas.
