Found these changes interesting for next years regs

[nube]

What do you guys think of these changes for next year?

-Changes to licence allocation models to address localized ungulate conflict with producers.

-A cross jurisdiction licence fee review is currently underway to ensure that Albertan’s are receiving full value for hunting opportunities.

This will include licensing structure changes designed to encourage and re-engage senior hunters and provide seniors with more
opportunities to mentor a new generation of hunters

So what exactly does the first change mean. Are they going to take tags away where deemed. And the second one is meaningless as well, with access getting harder and harder to get into places in FLUZ’s the older generation aren’t getting to far into the bush.

I find it curious that the government is seeking ways to "re-engage" seniors and and involve more youth. What does that mean exactly and how are they proposing to do this. Already wait times for tags are on the rise, land closures to hunting are occurring more and more every year, fishery bios point blank tell us that they intentionally make the regs strict because "they know that most of us are careless about releasing fish and flat out engaged in poaching". And there is no commitment to completing annual aerial wildlife surveys. Now they say we need to "re-engage senoirs and mentor youth"??? Well the AFGA has doing this very thing for years. And for years and years the regs have offered youth tags at discounted prices and offered youth partner tags on just about everything.

What is this "cross jurisdiction" bizness all about?
Do they mean they are going to clamp down on non-res CDNS/migrant workers/stricter residency requirements etc.?
As it is,it's far too easy to get a resident hunting licence imho.

Our system is definitely flawed. Id like to see something more like the NWT where theres a minimum 2yr residency required before being eligible to buy hunting tags & put in for the draw.

Where did you find this? Are these some sort of proposed resolutions?

What can we think about the proposed changes?

All we can do is speculate what they mean....

I warned that dissolving AGMAG was a bad deal for Resident hunters, that we would be treated no better than mushrooms where involvement with changes are concerned.
Kept in the dark and fed BS.

And here we are.

Throw the crossbow in where it fits could really help improve/increase engagement/mentorship/access across the board. One day

My suspicions are 2 reasons.
1. the herd has been held at it's max they want it at which is around 700 head I believe.
2. most of the hunting has been done on the lake for years and that one specific bunch has taken a beating. Not sure how they would avoid that unless they made some new out of bounds areas.

Because the Bio couldn't count to 400.


This thread proves Public Hunting consultation has become a joke.

[Full Curl Earl]

My suspicion is same as Ronald lake shut down, native Crud.

And black bear no longer to end of deer season!? Wtf. Larch Island closed. Goat areas closed.. hmm

[LCCFisherman]

I propose land owner tags for people with 40 acres or more. Shouldn't need a quarter to be able to hunt your own land. That's crap.

You can hunt your 40 acres all you want ,just buy a regular tag or get drawn like everyone else

Put the ultralight away, trolling of this magnatude requires a med-heavy rod of at least 7'

Yes I noticed 3 of 4 areas in the Wilmore closed. When I was drawn I got the information that if a nanny is killed they will close that zone the following year for a draw on Goat.

Obviously a lot of hunters can’t differentiate between a billy and a nanny!
