New Alberta Hunting Regulations out Today

[IronNoggin]

My local Hunting Partner & I were up for Antlered Mule Deer draws this year - they nixed that for all non-residents.
And they made the archery season in the areas we hunt for Mulies by drawing of a "special license" only - which of course nixes us on that one too.
Also nixed moose for non-residents.

Guess I'd better cash in my antlered Elk tag draw over there before they take that away as well...

Sucks.

That aint cool!
Nixed moose for NR also?

Good. Non-residents having equal standing with residents in the draws is BS. I don't know of any other jurisdiction where that's the case. It's been going on for way too long.

Can a non resident alien still hunt with a resident hunter host?
I did this in 2018 for black bear with a mate in Calgary.

They also just turned the Alberta Elk hunting mecca into draw only. Was all over the counter general tags. Sad.

Hunter Host still an option for archery mule deer?

But all the outfitter tags for NR are unaffected. Buckle up, same stuff is going to happen in the States. You'll eventually pay an outfitter or stay home.

Only in certain zones.
They made the zones we hunted that way in (Prairies) a special license draw - which means NOPE.
