Everybody seems to know somebody like that in Cranbrook. 99 times out of 100 it's complete and total BS.

Ya I have no qualms on the fact that some odds and draws will be VERY interesting and hard to predict. I have lived under the priority system in Alberta and both have their benefits no doubt. I have no doubt that applying for random 'odds' makes things challenging and very hard to predict. I've selected an area that around the 5:1 odds as my first choice and am just crossing fingers and hoping for that one. My second choice is an area thats quite remote and has been well under the 1:1 odds every year in recent years. This year there is also a significant tag increase and its often used as a zone that will give 'leftover' tags as well. I'd think I'm not being TOO over-zealous in my assumption that there is a high chance of probability that I will be drawn for at least my second choice. Time will tell....

Last year was my first year I applied for LEH as a new resident. Didn't get a spring grizzly tag but did get a fall tag and tried for the fun if it the Kamloops ram LEH with no success. I guess I didn't quite get that luck in the draw, I really wanted the Kamloops tag. Hahahaha
Re: Spring grizzly hunting
I have applied every year since I started hunting(6 or 7 years) and have never got a draw :( but I still make the govt donation everyyear hoping maybe this is the year!

I tell any newbies to pick a good one for their first try, and they usually get it (moose/grizz).
I'm sure the coveted picks have other influences trumping the newbie card :)
Re: Spring grizzly hunting
Anyone have any info about the 1-14 1-15 area I have a boat and crew that is ready to go !! I know there maybe some first nation conflict and I see the closed areas on the map. But anything I am missing
