    Good reminder for sure!

    I had mine sent in about a week or two ago now, and just dropped my wife's card in the mail last week!!! First LEH ever applied for!!!

    I'm pretty sure at the very least, I'll get my 2nd choice (unless something drastic happens), and I'll be chasing grizz this spring!!

    Your first time with BC's awesome system? Its easy to tell your green on this system as your expecting to get a tag. I know guys that put in for 2:1 odds for 21 years and don't get drawn. Our system has no guarantees except giving the Gov your donation. Good luck to you I hope your right, but more times than not our system will leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.

    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....

    Re: Spring grizzly hunting

    Bump...just a reminder...

    I have hopefully replied to all those who sent e-mail questions , if not PM me please.

    The snow levels in the Cariboo are perfect , we have enough snow to ensure slides come spring wil indeed slide ,and will push coastal bears to the valley floors .

    And to those who even stopped by , it was nice to meet more hunters..and now we wait for the draw and the results..good luck to all.

    I will be completely and totally unavailable from around Feb 16th till march 16th...however for those that draw tags for the g bears..do drop me a e-mail with your phone # and around the 16th I will start touching base with any that care to chat or ask questions . For those who do draw bears I will answer on first come bases...so I knowingly dont suggest the same area to more than one group at the same time .


    cheers
