Mandatory Harvest and Effort Reporting

Harvest and Effort survey information is a vital component to help sustainably manage Alberta's wildlife populations and in setting future draw quotas. Alberta Environment and Parks would like to thank all hunters for their participation in the annual survey.

General Information

  • For the 2024 hunting season, holders of a Special Licence are required to complete their harvest and effort surveys by February 15, 2025 for all Special Licences they purchased. Failure to submit your 2024 mandatory reporting will result in future restrictions on the eligibility to apply for special licence draws and the requirement of a $15.00 survey fee to restore that privilege.
  • For late season (Dec. 25, 2024– Feb. 21, 2025) Elk special licence holders, mandatory reporting is due by March 15, 2025.
  • You are required to complete your reporting even if you did not harvest a species.
  • Every completed survey will be entered into a draw for a 2025 opportunity to hunt a Moose, Elk, Mule Deer or Antelope.
