You cannot manage what is not measured. Absolutely the first and only realistic first step is some sort Alberta wide tag or regulation system, it can be free but we can say or do nothing until we have real accurate numbers of hunters and how much they actually take. Equality battles (this is what this is) are won with baby steps.
My family settled in Alberta in 1903. If you find me one living subsistence hunter that was here first I will lay down my rifle and give them my rights to everything I hunt.
If u have lived here for 3 years you should be Albertan with all rights, privileges, responsibilities and nothing more or less.
