Q1: A:

How are the hunting draws conducted?
If you applied for the special licence draws in the last two years, you will receive a special licence draws information package in the mail. If your address has changed since that last application, you can pick up a draw package (beginning early June 2008) from a private licence issuer, or contact the help desk to have one mailed out to you.

How do I apply for a draw?
You apply by visiting any private licence issuer or by calling our draw line.

Before applying on a draw, you must have your ten-digit Wildlife Identification Number (WIN). A credit card number is not required when you apply. If you are successful in a draw, you will purchase your special licence at a private licence issuer.

Q3: A:

If I am successful in a draw but do not purchase my licence, will I be penalized?
Yes. If you do not purchase your reserved special licence, your draw priority level will be reduced to zero for the next year.

How are unassigned and quota licences purchased?
You reserve your licence by calling the draw line beginning the first business day in September.

You must have your ten-digit Wildlife Identification Number (WIN) ready when you call. A credit card number is not required. You purchase your licence at a private licence issuer at least one business day after you reserve it over the telephone.
