[BANG]

Could anyone point me in the right direction of the legislation in regards for giving away a bear hide.
Thank you

As long as you give it away nothing is required.

Gift it, sell it, trade it. Do what ever you want with it as long as you don't waste it.

I was pretty sure that was the case but the intended reciever has some reservations about it without seeing it in official form as they were told otherwise at one time.
If anyone knows where to find where that specific rule is outlined in a official formate would be much appreciated.

Don't believe a word from this guy, he's notorious for misinformation. You can only give it away. There are regulations covering the buying, selling, or bartering of the hide. You can waste it if it's taken under authority of a landowner. Phone your F&W office or check online in the Wildlife Act if you are still unsure.

Coming from you?
You spew some of the most ridiculous opinions I have ever seen on AO.
Tork was correct in his first post, then provided proof to back it up.
More than what can be said about your "opinions".
Sorry for derailing your thread bang.

[BANG]

Awsome
Thank you

If someone is giving you a bear hide, it's nice if you'll record all the pertinent information. That way if some fish cop takes issue with this action, you can save all involved a bunch of wasted time and silliness by saying "here is the tag number" or "here is the land location it was shot on". If you are going to export the hide to get it tanned, sold or otherwise, the hide needs to be complete, as in all claws must remain on the hide, if it's not complete it cant be exported.

You are correct about only giving it away. My apologies to everyone.

Here you go Bang. I couldn't remember what regs it was listed in but here's a screen shot out of the Alberta regs.
I can't see what that clown show Rabbit Snarer is posting as he's been added to my ignore list. But I'm guessing his ignorance is shinning brightly again tonight.

Did you pull that from the hunting regs or the trapping regs ?
Edit . Never mind . I see trapping is mentioned in the upper portion of your post.

It is from the full edition of the trapping regs DW. I confirmed years ago with F&W that this does indeed pertain to all individuals though.

I was always under the impression that wildlife had to be registered before it could be sold. I'd probably do the same as you and personally check with F&W my self before making any deals. As far as gifting I can't see a problem with that. I donated a full mount black bear to the GC tourist center that ended up in a giant mural at the rec center. We got a receipt for X amount of dollars as a donation tax write off.

Our hunting and trapping synopsis (regs) are mostly found within the Wildlife Act and the Wildlife Act Regulations. This is where we can see the full legal descriptions of prohibited and exempted actions.


From the Wildlife Act Regulations.
https://www.canlii.org/en/ab/laws/re...-143-1997.html

Part 5 Possession of and Commerce in Animals
Schedule 1
(Section 5 of this Regulation)

Exemptions and Exclusions

Black bear claws and skins - ss57(1) and 62(1) and (2)

20(1) The claws of a black bear killed in accordance with the Act and this Regulation are exempt from the application of sections 57(1) and 62(1) and (2) of the Act if they have not been surgically or otherwise separated from the entire skin of the black bear.

(2) Subject to subsection (1), the skins, including portions of skins, of black bear killed in accordance with the Act and this Regulation are exempt from the application of sections 57(1) and 62(1) and (2) of the Act.


Sec 57(1) and 62(1) and (2) are here in the Wildlife Act
https://www.canlii.org/en/ab/laws/st...00-c-w-10.html


What this says is that black bear skins ( processed and raw) are exempt from trafficking regulations when the conditions are met (legally harvested, claws can only be sold when intact with whole skin.) without the requirements of any permits when sold in Alberta (export permits may apply).
