Does anyone know if it is fine for a person without a PAL to sign in a rifle or would they have to share a gun.
I will call if we get drawn just wondering if anyone that's been has dealt with this.

I would think you need to have a Pal or Pol to be legally in possesion of a firearm.
If you have niether than you could not legally hunt.

Suffield Elk Cull Hunt February 2015
Has anyone hunted inside Suffield previously? It is similiar to Wainwright for access. I would love to kill an elk there but the information package states no ATV's and no access off maintained roads. Wainwright you can drive any open area so I am concerned as to how only 2 of us would drag an elk to the road if we cannot take the truck to the kill site. Any been there??

Yes
I've been there twice. If you have an animal down it is ok to drive to it to retrieve it. They do ask that you walk the route ahead of your vehicle to check for tank ruts or other hazards. The danger is getting stuck. Range Patrol are not allowed to help you as far as a tow so you will have to have friends nearby or you have to call a tow truck from Med Hat which charges by the hour. Tow truck has to attend briefing so you can see how the $$ will add up.
There were so many freakin trails out there we were able to go everywhere we desired within the hunting areas.

Taking a kid or friend that doesn't have their PAL hunting is legal, I am just curious cause there are extra rules on the base.

Thanks Looper, we're putting in for the draw. Wainwirght was like a community hunt, if a large bull was down, we'd end up with 20 guys helping to load it! I can only hope we have as much success in Suffield.

I thought you were talking about the licensed shooter,But if one of you had a pal or pol than you would be fine.

Be sociable at the briefing. Exchange cell phone numbers and shake a few hands. Lots of guys willing to team up for loading, dragging, spotting. Some guys not so much.
Bring spare can or 2 of fuel if you have room. And some snot rags. I cried a little when I saw the bulls that no has a tag for.
It's a fun place to be even if it is a cull and not a prisitne wilderness hunt.

I heard all cows at suffield have been personally spayed by Bob Barker so no possibility of shooting one's that pregnant

Well, you know what they say about ASSuming anything don't you? I haven't been to CFB Suffield (yet) so I'm not aware of all the rules that apply there, nor did I originally post this picture ( which could be from anywhere In the world for all I know)! As far as not sharing my sense of humor, get in line!

Not really passing judgement on anyone just my own perspective ....Ill continue shooting bulls every year

I agree it would be great if you wee able to hunt in SEpt/Oct however the yearly training is still going on and yes everyday right up to the Elk reduction. I heard they are looking at hunting right through Dec next year so they can get away from Feb. time will tell

How are these allocated

Fair enough. That still doesn't make this pics legal. If you goto the safety briefing for any Suffield hunt, they lay down the law on pictures. So why risk it by posting them here? Are they going to do anything about it...probably not. But lets not jeopardize our hunting access to the base.

Really don't think someone who illegally posts a pic. from the base would jeaprodize the hunt for everyone. If it was that simple then PETA or some other anti-hunting group would be posting pics. of the base all the time to try and shut down hunt.

Fine. Lets let this die. This is going off topic from this thread. Start a new one if you really want to discuss further. At this point none of this is adding to information about this hunt and thread.

What documentation do you need when you register each morning?
Hunting license and tag
Vehicle registration and insurance
PAL licence
Anything else?

If you get stuck tree blinds make better dead heads for winching operations than a flimsy ground blind.
