Default NO REGS Available!!!!

After spending over $400. for tags licences and certificates tonight for my wife and I , we were told by the vendor that they don't have any copies of the regulations to give out.

It is bad enough that the regulations are now an advertisement magazine, and the dam map you get is so small you can't read it, but now we don't even get these.

Thanks to the Alberta Govt. for another blunder. It is not like they didn't know that hunting season starts this week.

It's also because you get some guys who take two regs. One for the truck and one for the house..... Seems like a waste to me.

I'd rather them be too informed than not informed at all!

I was at four diff places today and asked if they received the regs every place that I talked to said they have had them for 3 weeks already I think that they are bsing you pete. Crappy tire, wally world, local hunting store in lloyd and one in chauvin have them. I picked up my tags tonight almost all of them have a couple more to get and my total is already at $238 and some odd change

Add one in the fanny pack one for the boy and a spare in the truck for the door knob you meet that doesn't know the regs and a couple printed off line for sunrise sunset tables and specific zones. stapled to my county maps and then tell me when you haven't seen stacks left over at stores come January!

if you need them they are on line if you are on here then you can go on line.

Because some guys take two my ---

Some stores are just really stingy with their copies of the regs. While I wouldn't expect that to happen after buying a whole bunch of stuff at the store, it did happen when I tried to pick up fishing regs at Canadian Tire. The lady informed me that the reg books were only for those who were buying their license at Canadian Tire. My 15-year-old son doesn't need to buy a license, but still needs to follow the regs. I informed her that I'd purchased my license online, and that Canadian Tire was one of the stores AlbertaRELM listed as being a place I could pick up a copy of the regs. After I told her I was going to phone SRD to complain, she gave me two copies very quickly.

It sounds fishy to me that you weren't able to get a copy of the hunting regs at the store you purchased your tags at. Maybe a call to SRD is in order?

It's up to the stores to reorder when they run out. Put the blame where it's due.

Don't go freshwater fishing in BC without a copy of the regs. Ever since they went to online purchasing, very few carry hardcopy regs. So much for service.

Default may be try the new thingy called the internet?

honestly people, you can order your shiny, new, personal copy here:
http://www.srd.alberta.ca/fishwildli...gulations.aspx

and you can download the actual regulations here:
http://www.albertaregulations.ca/

Then you have it in your computer for reference and you can print whatever pages you need.

You guys are just wussies, real men use grass and sticks and stuff like that. But I guess if your sensitive in that region, you can always use moss. Beware of thorns and thisles...LOL

Still trying to replace it.
