2017 Saskatchewan Resident

Big Game Draw Supplement

The 2017 Saskatchewan Resident Big Game Draw
Supplement provides information on the upcoming season
dates and species quotas for big game draws and provides
advance notice of relevant changes to this fall's regular big
game seasons. The 2017 big game draw application period
will begin on May 1 and close on May 25, 2017 at midnight.
Saskatchewan's big game draw allocates hunting licences
for the province's most sought after hunting opportunities.
The number of people applying for a draw licence reached
an all-time high in 2016. This interest is highest for either-
sex licences for moose, elk and mule deer. A number of
popular zones have thousands of eligible top priority pool
(Super A) applications. Applicants are encouraged to
carefully consider their wildlife management zone (WMZ)
choices and consider applying for multiple zones and/or less
popular areas to increase their chances of being successful.
Please see the 'New for 2017' section in this supplement for
updates regarding each draw species and changes for RCMP
members.
Ministry biologists are developing management plans to
ensure game species and their habitats are managed
sustainably. The plans will establish management
objectives, thresholds that will trigger management actions,
and will prescribe how allocation of harvest occurs. The
ministry will be consulting with hunters and other groups
this year as part of developing recommendations for the
2018 season.
The ministry will be conducting a review of the big game
draw in light of the increasing number of applications.
This review may result in changes to the big game draw
for 2018.

Good luck to all applicants!

Hunters, please remember!
NOTE The 2017 big game draw
closes at midnight on May 25.

Hunters, please apply early!

The application period for the 2017 big game draw will run from May 1 to midnight
on May 25. Please ensure adequate time to complete your application!

Whats New for 2017
Big Game Draw
This year's draw will open on May 1 and close on May 25,
2017 at midnight. This will allow the results of the big game
draw to be released earlier in the year to help you with your
vacation planning.
Hunters are encouraged to apply early in order to have time
to resolve any potential issues. Complete application
instructions and information can be found on page 3.
To assist applicants in their decisions, information from
the 2016 draw is available on the Hunting, Angling and
Trapping (HAL) website saskatchewanlicences.active.com.
Details include the number of hunters applying for each
zone, as well as the pool status of the hunters who were
drawn. Reviewing this information in advance will aid in
identifying zones with fewer applicants per available
licence, and therefore offering a greater chance to be
successful.
The HAL website also includes information regarding the
2017 season dates, quotas, application instructions and
priority pools.
Pronghorn Antelope Opportunities
The mild 2016-17 winter is expected to allow pronghorn
antelope to continue their population recovery. Wildlife
managers expect to offer hunting opportunities in a number
of zones within the pronghorn range. For 2017, season
structure and dates will remain the same as 2016.
Applicants are reminded that the final quota may be adjusted
or eliminated based on actual, current year population
estimates. Please review the listed WMZ combinations to
ensure you are applying for your area of interest.
Applications for the pronghorn antelope draw will be
accepted during the normal May application period; however,
the draw will not be conducted until July. Draw results will
be released immediately after, with an email notice sent to
the application group leader (if they have an email address
registered in HAL). The status of the pronghorn draw will be
posted on our website.
Moose Opportunities
Moose populations continue to be managed as southern
(farmland) and northern (forest) populations.
Farmland moose populations are at or above target levels in
most WMZs. Quotas and season dates will remain similar to
2016 with select WMZs seeing slight adjustments.
Quotas and season dates will also remain similar to 2016 in
forest WMZs. Please refer to the additional season
information found in this supplement for further details.
Mule Deer Opportunities
Provincially, mule deer populations are recovering from
recent winter mortality. In response, quotas for both either-
sex and antlerless animals have been increased in select
WMZs. Either-sex draw mule deer opportunities are now
offered in 58 WMZs with a new season in WMZ 35.
2
Antlerless seasons, which are used to moderate population
growth and balance herd structure, will be offered in 49
zones including new opportunities in WMZ 43 and 50 for the
2017 season. A number of zones will once again offer a two
antlerless mule deer licence option (see page 6 for details).
Regular archery mule deer hunting opportunities will be
offered in the same WMZs as 2016.
Elk Opportunities
Elk populations in many farmland zones continue to be at or
above target levels. As a result, quotas in a number of zones
have been increased. New either-sex elk hunting
opportunities have been added in WMZs 8, 23, 28, 44 and
45. Hunters interested in antlerless elk can apply for new
hunts in WMZs 9, 44 and 45.
Big game draw applicants interested in antlerless elk in WMZ
33A (including Moose Mountain Provincial Park) are
reminded that seasons offered in this zone are divided into
early and late opportunities. Please note that the split seasons
are actually a zone choice; hunters can apply for October-
December season dates and/or November-January season
dates. Please refer to page 8 for more detailed information
regarding the split seasons.
Regular season elk opportunities across the province will be
unchanged from 2016.
White-tailed Deer Opportunities
This past winter supported white-tailed deer population
growth with relatively mild temperatures and favourable
snow depths. The exception to this was southeastern
Saskatchewan where above average snow depths were
present for most of the winter.
To further support the continued recovery of Saskatchewan's
white-tailed deer populations, the 2017 season dates for
Saskatchewan residents will be identical to last year, both for
either-sex and antlerless white-tailed deer.
RCMP Officers
The HAL system and the big game draw website have
changed for RCMP officers. The use of regimental numbers
for residency purposes will no longer be supported. RCMP
officers are encouraged to edit their HAL account and include
their full name as printed on their valid Saskatchewan Health
Services Card.

2017 guide to applying for the Big Game Draw
2017 Big Game Draw
The Saskatchewan big game draw is
more popular than ever with a record
number of applicants in 2016. Due to
this high demand for licences,
applicants should note that some
applicants in the top priority pool will
not be successful. Please carefully
consider your zone or hunt choices to
maximize your chances of being
successful. Applying for multiple zones
for the same species as well as
choosing less popular zones will
increase your chances of success.

website also contains all the
information you need to make your
application decisions such as pool
status, available hunts, tentative
quotas, proper zone designations and
season dates. You will also find the big
game draw results and harvest survey
information from previous years to aid
with hunt selections.
The first step is selecting the species
your WMZ choices. These zone choices

include zone 99, which will maintain
your 'Super A' status or allow you to
advance from 'A' pool to 'Super A'
without applying for a licence.
Further information is available for
each available hunt by selecting 'More
Info' which will display the open
season dates, the 2017 quota and a
summary of the 2016 draw, including
total number of applicants and lowest
priority pool drawn from in 2016.
Applicants will be able to choose up to
six zones in order of preference from
which they will be considered in the
draw. Please remember that some
zones may be antlerless only seasons,
while some have both either-sex and
antlerless options available. You can
filter the available hunt options to
display either-sex hunts only or
antlerless only hunts. Once you have
selected your hunt choices you may
change the preference order using the
up and down arrows on the following
screen.
The number of zones (to a maximum
of six) you choose on your application
can increase the likelihood of being
drawn.
Remember zone designations with an
'A' following the zone numbers are for
antlerless animals.
For elk and moose, you can apply for
both either-sex and antlerless seasons
on the same application. For example,
you may wish to apply for an either-sex
then antlerless hunt/season as a later
choice.
The next step will be to enter other
hunters if you wish to apply as a group.
There is a maximum of four applicants
per application. Select 'Add Group
Members' and enter each group
member's HAL ID and date of birth.
The application will be assigned to a
pool as determined by the applicant
with the lowest pool status.
An individual can only submit one
application per species. The exception
is for mule deer and antlerless mule
deer which are considered separate
species choices for the purposes of the

The big game draw is executed in early
June and results will be available by
mid-June. The pronghorn antelope
draw will take place in mid-July with
the results released immediately
afterward. The status of the pronghorn
draw will be posted on the ministry
website.
All applicants are responsible for
checking their draw result(s) via their
HAL account, at a Ministry of
Environment office, select provincial
park offices or through the Help Desk
at 1-855-848-4773. Notification emails
are sent to inform applicants of their
result; however, successful email
delivery cannot be guaranteed. These
notifications can only be sent to
applicants who have included their
correct email address on their HAL
account. Do not assume that you are
not drawn if you did not receive an
email.
Successful applicants must purchase
their licences through HAL. Big game
draw licences will be available for
purchase beginning August 1.
Applicants who are drawn are
considered to be 'holding' a draw
licence for that species, regardless of
whether the licence is purchased, and
therefore are not eligible to purchase a
regular licence for that species.
Successful applicants cannot forfeit or
transfer their licence. All drawn
applicants will move to 'C' pool for
2018. Refunds and pool status
reinstatements are only issued for
medical reasons and other special
circumstances.
