Hunt Draw Registration
For a chance to hunt at Taber Pheasant Festival, hunters must enter the Hunt Draw during the first two weeks of June. There is no rush to register—it is not first come, first served. All entries received during the registration period have an equal chance in the draw.
Hunters may select up to three preferred hunting times, with a limit of one hunt per day.
Draw results will be posted at noon the third Wednesday of June. Successful hunters must confirm their drawn hunt times to secure their spots at the festival.
How to secure your spot:
- Check the Draw Results: Log in to your account on the Draw Results page to see if you were successful.
- Confirm Your Spot: Successful hunters must accept or decline their drawn hunt times within 3 weeks of the draw results. Unconfirmed spots will be forefeited and returned to the draw pool for reallocation.
- Troubleshooting: If the Draw Results page doesn't load at noon, please refresh your browser.

All hunters must possess valid licences and documentation to participate in the Taber Pheasant Festival hunt sites. Licensing is verified during on-site registration, so ensure all members of your hunting party are compliant before arriving in Taber. Visit www.albertarelm.com for more information.
