So higher tag prices and/or a government collected trophy fee
I personally dont think Non residents should be able to enter draws. As little as the numbers supposedly are.
BC SASK YUKON NWT all dont allow non residents to enter draws. Why should we?
Id love to go hunt stone sheep without paying 50K usd by the way. So id much rather have BC change their policy instead of alberta changing ours.
Whats so wrong with a non resident canadian having to hire a guide? Ive done it in BC twice. Id do it again. The allocations in alberta are for non residents. People from out of province are non residents. Thats where you should fit in the system
Honestly if you moved to the coast where its warm and no snow to retire, thats great! But your no longer an Albertan. We are stuck here in this crappy -30 weather while you poor guys are cutting your grass in shorts. You shouldnt have the same opportunities as we do.

Nothing wrong with hiring a guide.
For those of us that believe in the concept of maintaining wildlife as an entity managed by the government as a Public Trust,
HAVING to hire a guide goes against the pillars of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.
Maintaining unguided NR hunting opportunities in ALL jurisdictions is vital for the future of this activity.
The continued creep of privatizing access to Our Wildlife only leads in the direction of excluding People from hunting, sustains the degradation of our community and our traditions.
