I didn't get my Mule deer in 310, but that was expected . I have been very lucky down there for too long. I will be happily chasing Elk up by Sundre with my bow in September.
My Bison still says "entered" (same for Elk and Grizzly responders but I was told thats normal).
Has anyone heard why, or when the Bison draws will be awarded?

So this is my first year entering the draws, I put in for both prong horns, both muleys, both elk, and cow moose.
Woo hoo I landed the cow elk in 308 in February so needless to say I am fairly ecstatic!
Last year was my first Whitetail so I’m off to a good start.

Can someone help me with what “not awarded” means?
I had 7 points for moose.
Everything above priority 4 was drawn in the zone.
Have I made a mistake somewhere on something that’s making it so I am not being drawn? I have never been drawn for anything before so I am trying to make sense of what happened.

Did you apply for your draw individually, or as part of a group? What WMU, and did you apply for antlered or antlerless?
I'd have to agree with you, if you're a priority 7 and applied as an individual, you should have been drawn.
"Everything above priority 4 was drawn in the zone."
I think you were looking at 2025 historical draw results & not the current 2026 results.
Needed a minimum of 6 for a chance to be drawn in 2026.
"I had 7 points for moose."
Are you sure you were a 7 when you put in for this years draw and not a 6?
Your points would be a 7 now because you were unsuccesful in this years draw.
If you were a 6 at time of application, then your chance of being drawn was 42%. 64 applicants, 27 drawn, 37 unsuccesful.
I am in the same boat as you. I have 2 whitetail tags this year, but managed to snag an undersubbed elk tag in 104 in November.
Fingers crossed!

Going to be a busy fall.....Drawn for Trophy Antelope, Mule bucks, Antlerless moose and Elk on Camp Wainwright. A couple of other friends also drew cow elk tags close to home....
That will be a busy fall, and a few full freezers!
You know, I read stuff like this and sure wish that all the BC guys who keep crowing about “our system is so unfair, we need a system like Alberta!” would see this….
Aside from the antelope, I’m going to hunt muleys and whitetails, bull moose open season AND a limited entry draw, plus a 2 month elk open season for bulls or cows…no draw required. And I can travel or hunt close to home for any of it…
