This is in a non draw zone. Non resident Canadians bring a lot of money into communities during hunting season. I feel sorry for the small town hotels and restaurants since SASK went to a draw.
Sorry but I don’t see the big contributions to the communities your talking about? Might be buying gas, maybe staying in a hotel. But your not paying more than going through a guide. So your actually taking potential money away.

I don’t see the benefit of non residents hunting here without paying market value for the animals. As albertans I don’t think we OWE non residents any reason for a freebie discount or break.
