CWD Tag Replacements

[Byron]

Just curious if anyone has gone through the process of getting their CWD tags replaced. Haven't received any information regarding the process of how they make this licence available for this years season.

Thanks.

Disregard I tracked down the link and found the answers

Do the tags not just show up automatically this fall as available to us again?

That was my understanding, and now I’m just wanting to confirm that I’m not overlooking something to get my antlered mulie again?

Did you have to turn in everything from last years deer?

You had to destroy the meat and inform the head biologist in order to be eligible for the replacement tag I believe.

I have heard some guys get to keep antlers and some turn them in if they get a new tag.

Skelly??

I spoke to Marlow and she said take it to the landfill, as I told her we wouldn’t chance eating the meat since we have kids. I’d eat it, but if one day Cwd made its leap to humans and I was the deciding factor of my kids consumed it- that would be tough to live with. Anyways, we took the meat to the Edmonton landfill.

I removed the required tissues including bottom jaw and sent them in, I kept my skull and antlers.

Hope this link works but here is the info I am going off of although its dated 2015. Appears that an email from albertarelm will get sent out with the information about the replacement tag. I'm assuming at that point you will be able to assign a tag number to the licence and proceed as if it was a normal draw tag.


When I talked to the biologist regarding my deer she asked me if I intended to consume the meat and since my wife was 8 months pregnant at the time, We decided it was ultimately not worth the risk to take the chance to eat the meat even though most people don't feel CWD affects humans. Couldn't live with that decision if it affected my new daughter. I asked the biologist what steps I needed to take and was told to dispose of the meat which we did.

I was not required to submit anymore of the deer other then the skull for sampling, I did not have to forfeit the antlers.

I believe an email should be sent regarding the replacement tags.

Byron could you post the link for others who are interested?
