Priority Pool Status To advance through the priority pools you must submit an application each year by the deadline date. There are nine pools. Pool 1 has the highest priority and Pool 9 has the lowest.

This system gives applicants who have been in the draw the longest without receiving a licence the best possible chance of receiving one. Note that being in Pool 1 does not guarantee you a licence. The draw is computerized and begins with Pool 1 co-applicant applications, followed by Pool 1 individual applications, followed by Pool 2 co-applicant applications and so on.

Co-applicant applications receive preference to give as many hunters as possible an opportunity to hunt with the licences available.

The draw also begins with the first area of choice on each application and goes through each area listed until a licence is awarded or the choice of areas runs out.

In each area, either-sex licences are awarded first, followed by female-only or calf if available and male-only or calf. Chances of receiving a licence are greater for co-applicant applications and those who list additional areas.

Note that where two applicants on a co-applicant application have different rankings, the application is assigned to the lower pool. For example, if the applicants have a Pool 3 and Pool 5 ranking, the application goes in Pool 5. If a youth and co-applicant are successful in the draw their priority status will return to Pool 8 in the following year. If a licence is not drawn, only the youth would advance to Pool 4 in the following year and the co-applicant would advance from their current priority pool status.

The opportunity to enter the draw with a youth applicant in the same pool only applies while the youth is 16 and 17 years of age and if a licence was not awarded to the youth applicant in the previous draw. Persons 18 years of age who are new applicants in the big game licence draw start off in Pool 8. Priority Pool Ranking These rankings are based on a hunter who submits an application each year: Pool 1: Hunters who submitted an application but did not receive a licence in the previous seven years.
