By far the most common excuse I heard this year is..
Sorry there will be cattle in the field until December. And we don't allow access when livestock is present.
I just happened to be on a piece of land just beside the lease I was trying to get on, and I heard 4-5 shots within an hour of first light come from that direction.. Very close proximity to where I was.
I mean honestly they pay for the lease, and if they use the land for it's intended purpose I have no issue with it. But when some owners tell you that, and then they hunt on that land anyways, that is crossing the line.
I agree with what someone else said. All alberta grazing lease should have to be empty of livestock by November 1st, by law. There should not be recreation restrictions, as it is Alberta land.
Bingo, problem solved... lease owners get to use land for grazing until November, Albertans get to use land for hunting. After that
