Hey folks, Ive got a question regarding non-resident draws in Alberta. I live in BC but have family in Alberta and head back to the ancestral homeland every year to hunt whitetails. Usually the only draw I put in for is Non-resident Trophy Sheep, just to build some priority so that hopefully by the time I'm 90 I can draw the tag. I don't put in for any other draws because they need to be group hunts with a resident, and I don't want to negatively effect the odds of my cousins drawing their tags. Recently though I've been questioning if that's how it works, so let me run through a little scenario and someone tell me if I'm understanding this correctly.

If I put in for an Antlered Mule Deer tag as a non-resident, and I add my cousin Jimmy to the group so that I can apply, this also counts as his Antlered Mule Deer application, right? From there, if Jimmy has 4 points, and I have 1, and the points to draw the tag are 3, we won't draw the tag until I reach the required 3 points?

Or, do I just need cousin Jimmy on my group application and he's free to put in his own individual application and draw his own mule deer tag?

I've always assumed scenario 1, but recently have been questioning my assumptions and haven't had any luck finding the answers on the interwebs.

Thanks for your help friends.
 
Best advice I can give you is to contact Alberta RELM - 1-888-944-5494. I cannot answer, because I don't know the answer; not unless you want me to guess. Good Luck!
 
You are a group. You are considered the priority of the lowest member. So yes you will absolutely screw them up. You are best to wait for Jimmy to draw and then start applying with him when you both are a zero priority.
 
Jimmy puts you in a group with himself or any of your other cousins, sheep is the only one you do yourself. Like sheep Jimmy will 999 your draw if he’s got decent points and you don’t. Once you build up a few points Jimmy can figure out which one of your cousins has close to the same number of pts you do and put you in with that cousin to be drawn. Funny thing is you can draw with cousin Bobby yet hunt with Jimmy. It’s a really easy system and user friendly.
