That gives a million dollars towards projects in this province and I think a pretty easy sell for those involved. Make the tickets available at draw times in June and have AlbertaRELM handle the online ticket sales. I’m totally unaware how that may or may not work. That for me is the only way I would buy another one of these tickets.

Going this route would essentially be the end of these permits
The people who buy a lot of tickets, have a specific species in mind when they are buying
They don’t sell out at $10 they definitely won’t sell out at $50
If all tickets are entered in the same draw
What happens if one person wins more than one of them?
Adding moose and and antelope won’t help raise any significant amount of money
Alberta has not been managed for trophy animals
Cwd culls for mule deer
Suffield elk eradication
Predator mismanagement in the 400’s
Add all the new non regulated hunters
Alberta is not what it used to be
If you wanted to increase sales you would make the draws available to non residents.
You could make them for a calander year
Or add a grizzly auction and raffle
