2016 Big Game Draw closing earlier for hunters
Hunter’s voices were heard and this year it’s an early close to the Big Game Draw for the 2016 provincial hunting season.
“Hunters have been asking us for a number of years to see if we couldn’t get the draw results out earlier so they can plan for holidays and such,” Provincial Wildlife manager Chuck Lees said.
This year the draw closes at midnight on May 25, which is seven days earlier than the deadline last year.
“With an earlier draw date and some more efficiencies in the process we can get draw results earlier, as early as the middle of June now. We want to make sure all hunters know the earlier draw date so nobody misses out on the opportunity,” Lees said.
