It is not meant to establish a population. Southern Alberta is their northernmost limit for establishing a huntable population. Couple the harsh climate with predation and it is not feasible. The sole aim is a put and take experience for hunters who pay for the tag. Try and hunt them two days after they are released and get back to me about how stupid they are. Unless you have done it then you won't understand. Not being a smart aleck, just a realist.
