I went to Cabelas over a month ago to register my WIN ID and purchase a sportsfishing licence, and upon filling out the papers, it asked whether I had a hunting course from another province, and so I checked "yes" before handing the papers back into the cashier. Does this mean I can buy a whitetail hunting licence this fall, or is there still something I have to do before I can get my tags/licences?

Any advice would help an aweful lot, thanks

If you checked the "yes" box, thats it! You can buy tags like the rest of us, no muss, no fuss. Don't forget to enter your draws! June 1 -june 25 at www.albertarelm.com

I just got back on to this website (it is now June 30th) only to read/find out that I was supposed to apply to the draws before June 25th (which I did not manage to do). Am I completely too late to hunt whitetail for 2012, or are there general licences I can still buy to hunt this fall? In Ontario, we have specific draws for certain areas for antlerless deer and other kinds of big game that DO HAVE a deadline to apply, but we also have deer and bear licences that I can buy over the counter before and during season that are not specific and that DON'T HAVE any deadlines or lotteries. Are there any systems like this in Alberta, or am I completely **** out of luck for big game hunting this year? Please let me know if I still have any options,

thanks,

- Dan

There are a ton of general tags you can get without entering draws, there general whitetail (buck in most zones) supplemental antlerless whitetail (good for two does in applicable zones) general elk, black bear and more..

Go to http://www.albertaregulations.ca/hun...encecosts.html

and scroll down to the the cost/ combination chart to see the liscences available.

Brock Minton out of corpus is a bow hunter education instructor I have not made an I structure class or I would do it for you. Its not required I. Texas but is in some other states. like mentioned above it is required for the youth hunts, is his hunt through Texas Youth Hunting Program? I will also try and see what other I structure are certified to teach this course.

Just finished the AHEIA online Hunter education course (passed with flying colours I may add). Have to say that I thought the course was great for someone new to hunting and does a good job exploring most aspects.

I found a couple things lacking such as a few more specifics on field techniques for big game but other than that, was a good experience overall.

Cheers to all

[Nytronut]

Thanks for this- great info.

Purchased the full course and manual for my son last night but when he logs in all we get is the demo course, watched the video then thats it, we can't get into the modules. Anyone know what we are doing wrong or is the site messed up? Getting pi**ed here, he really wants to get going on it.

Give AHEIA a call. I had the same issues -- you don't happen to be using a Mac, are you? That was my problem. Once I stopped using Safari, the issues stopped. Try Chrome.

How much time it takes for the certification?

[ranchobendecido]

Hunter Training Question in one of the Knowledge Checks,

" Decide whether the animal being described is a mule deer, a white tail deer, both or neither."

ANTLERS HAVE A MAIN BEAM WITH TINES COMING UP FROM IT

Choices:

Mule Deer
White tail deer
Both
Neither

I answered Both and was wrong I'm so confused.... The correct answer was White Tail Deer. Why? Both have tines don't they? I'm so confused before I challenge their answer I'd like others opinions please!

Thanks

Key words here are "Main Beam". Whitetail have a main beam. Muleys fork out.

Very Cool

I think the idea of having the ability to take the course and test online is a great benefit to many who might otherwise not be able , for various reasons, to go to a course in person.
I also gave a reading challenged grandson who , with some reading help, will have no problem with the online course. However he has hesitated to attend a course as he feels self conscious.

Just took it, has 100 questions which you have 90 minutes to complete. You need a score of 80% to pass.

[caribbeanboy32]

I passed

Same here - Often when we have issues with internet applications on the Mac, we will try using the Chrome browser instead of Safari. But if I remember correctly, my eldest son ended up just doing it on IncrediGirl's old PC laptop instead because we were having too much grief doing it on the Mac.

I took the online course and found it lacking. Maybe it's because I am older and had a father that took me hunting and into the wilderness. What I found that blew my mind was they spent zero time discussing the draw, WMU, licensing and application process. So at the end of it I am still confused how to navigate the system.
It was nice to do it at night at my convenience, but would have liked a person to grill on the rules, as that's where I need the help.

Just my 2 cents

its up to $95 now...

Can you still avoid this by having hunter course cards and past hunting licences from other provinces?

[DaveDave]

That is pretty awesome. I will sign my boy soon!!!

[Sbmarto]

Anyone know how to register your son for the course? (Hunter Education Certification) I tried to create an account for him at AHEIA but I couldn't put his year of birth in because it only went to 2011 and he was born in 2015. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.

[Scottmisfits]

I don’t think they run the program for 2/3 year olds........

I could register my son until he was 11, the legal age to hunt is 12.
