2023 AB Hunting Draws

[whitetail Junkie]

I assume the draw book should be online any day now.My freezer and I are looking forward to dad getting his bull moose tag for this fall

What special tags are you guys pulling?

[AlbertaAl]

Priority 10 for trophy antelope
Guess I'll pull the trigger on acquiring this draw.
257WBY with 110 accubonds is my ticket.
Not sure what zone I'll favor... north or south of Medicine Hat

[buckman]

Antelope probably,Mountain Mule deer if my cameras show any decent numbers.

[Dubious]

Draws open may 30

[Smokinyotes]

I’m a P12 for antelope but my wife is only a 10 so will probably just increase priority. My nephew is a 12 for antelope so I will probably go with him. Should get drawn for bull moose as well.

[Big Grey Wolf]

My guess is lot of elk and moose are going to be moved around by the mega fires burning in many WMU's. May need to alter your draw plans for few years.

[boonedocks]

This year is bull moose for me ( yes, I know it is technically antlered, Jackfish/pike &#128514 and also first rifle at Camp wainwright for deer as long as historical draw priorities stay the same. Antelope is another possibility but I think I’ll wait till next year so I can concentrate all my efforts on that moose starting in archery season.

I've been saying I'm due for camp Wainwright for a couple years now...

[Buckshot82]

Should get my antlered mule deer this year…. Now just a matter of if it’s worth hunting east of Edmonton with the rise in cwd cases

Benn knocking on doors since February in anticipation. So far no one will give me access....perhaps I need a new shirt or maybe shine my boots a bit.....

Service or the stockade?

[slopeshunter]

Draw booklet is on albertaregulations.ca now

[Mken]

Still no goat draw? Wonder if they will ever bring it back.

[fatboyz]

Zero changes for 2023, I think that's a first?

Yup! https://albertaregulations.ca/hunting-draws-2023.html

Excitement building... Soon comes the fun part of picking my entries...

[walking buffalo]

The cover photo of two legal rams got me pumped.

Do you think we will see the allocation numbers before the draw closes ....changes in tag numbers could really change the draw odds in some zones.

Pulled very high MD buck draws last year. Jr got his. Trophy Antelope is next but have to check the draw results as we may need a year or two for JR to catch my sky high points. He is close.


Might get in on the last season of Camp Wainwright if were real lucky with the draw.

Looks like general elk and WT tags this year will be our hunts.

If memory serves me right when you apply for your draws it shows the residents allocation numbers on Alberta realm for each wmu.

I’m looking forward to this info because if they cut the moose tags in our wmu the back up plan is P16 Elk instead which is a sure bet.

If they don’t post the info this year you can find your specific info but it will take a few phone calls.

[Stinky Buffalo]

And check the Draw Summary from last year to gauge your chances of being drawn: https://www.albertarelm.com/cust.drawsummary22.page

[Brodhead]

Should draw antlered mule deer and moose this year. Really looking forward to this season as it's the first in several years that I'll get more than just a day or 2 to hunt for myself.

One thing I noticed this year while applying, the quota for this year showed up on my draw choice before finalizing the application. I don't remember ever knowing how many tags were released until draw results get posted. Is this new for this year or has it been the case since the tag system went online?

Likely first year showing available tags at draw time.
I also saw it when putting in my Walleye draws.

I think my chances are pretty good. I’m at priority 9! Once-in-a-lifetime tag, for sure...

[Dewey Cox]

I think one email with confirmation on all my draws would have been sufficient, but 8 separate emails is so you know you're dealing with the government...

[H380]

Likely draw an archery antelope ,probably be my last go at em with a bow so got my fingers crossed

At least the e-mails showed the correct hunt choice for priority only draws, looking at the application online displayed different three digit numbers for hunt choices, instead of priority only.

[DirtShooter]

332 antlered moose.... we'll see if I get drawn.
