New Alberta Hunting Regs out today

Would have been nice if they at least gave you a 1 year heads up to burn your points or something.

How much did it cost to get those points? Does AB require purchase of a hunting license each year to get them?

Never added up the cost, but it would be noticeable.
Alberta requires you to have their $ 30.00 Wildlife Certificate before applying...
Add in tag application costs...
 
Priority points were $3.50/year and are now $5/year and have been a few years. 8 years worth, unless non-residsnts pay more, would hardly be any money.

This is part of why I asked. Losing $30 isn't much. Losing $300 (if you had to pay for a license for example) still isn't a lot, but it's something. I'm pretty sure in some states you could be into the thousands after 8 years of buying licensing and points though, stuff gets pricey for a non-resident in some locales. Montana its a $50 license and $100 for a point each year from what I can see, and Idaho is $185usd for just the license!

Alberta hunters have been pushing for these restrictions for years. Equally, they do not want outfitters to have allocations. Moreover, in recent current events, Albertans wish to seperate from the rest of the country; they are fed-up supporting the rest of the country and prohibited to export their product to market.

It's unfortunate that they did not give advance notice, a year in advance for those who applied for years, for a special draw. Alberta is advocating for it citizens.

The last several years you have had to buy a wildlife certificate (ie - hunting license) in order to apply for draws. That license is $30. As Desjard says, the draw applications are pretty nominal on their own, but with the license added in it adds up over time.
