Skipping a year for LEH application

[Wagonmaster]

Maybe this should be in the LEH questions forum, but the options there seem to be just replies to existing threads. Anyway, got a moose draw last year and this year most of our group is bailing for one reason or another. Will likely head to Region 3 or 5 for deer where moose are not abundant. Will probably apply anyway, even with reduced odds, but I'm wondering if one did skip a year, what are the implications? I assume that if I don't apply, this year will not count towards my three years of reduced odds, before I get back to normal odds?

That is an interesting question. I've always just assumed it is three years regardless of application status. I believe in Alberta, where they have priority draws, your odds only change if you apply every year. Regardless, if you want to hunt moose then why not apply anyways? I've 'won' leh moose draw back to back in an area where my buddies with no reduced odds did not get drawn for the same area/same year. It's reduced odds, not impossible. Happy hunting!

If you got drawn for moose last year, then you are on reduced odds for the next 3 years. It doesn't matter whether or not you apply for moose again during that time frame, the clock is still ticking for 3 years of reduced odds. Good luck if you do put in tho'.....Pacemaker

$6 wouldn't influence my decision.

Thats your answer. I have had hunting partners still got drawn even on reduced odds.

Same. Wait... I mean, no EVERYBODY should skip LEH this year, maybe boycott it! Leave it all to me, lol.
