You can apply for a hunting draw using 1 of 2 options ($5.00 plus GST per draw application.):

Apply online

To apply for a hunting draw online, you will need internet access, a credit card and an email address. There are no extra fees (beyond the initial draw application fee) for applying online.

Apply in person at a private licence issuer

There are over 300 private issuers in Alberta where you can apply for a hunting draw.

Apply early to avoid possible system access problems. The draw application fee is non-refundable and this levy goes to the Alberta Conservation Association (ACA).

You can check your submitted draw application(s) online at AlbertaRELM. If you need to change your draw application(s), you can do so before the draw close deadline one of two ways.

Check your draw results

Results of the hunting draw will be made available in July on the AlbertaRELM website.

If drawn, you can purchase your special licence online at the AlbertaRELM website or at a licence issuer starting August 1st.

You will need to purchase a Wildlife Certificate before you can purchase your special draw licence, if you have not already done so.

NOTE: If you are successful in a draw, your draw priority level will be reset to zero, regardless of whether the licence is purchased.
