Guided Canadian Hunts - Discounted Due to Covid

[Dean2]

Thought some of you that are interested in hunting other Provinces might find this useful. Lower price is the discounted rate, the higher prices is the previously advertised price.

Let's take a guess - if you're a Canadian outdoorsman or woman, we know how you feel. Proud that Canada is one of the most successful countries in terms of handling the COVID epidemic; concerned that with the border closures, the hunting industry may take a heavy blow as hunters from the US and other countries have to cancel their trips. But there's no cloud without a silver lining: these cancellations created a lot of awesome opportunities for you, to get that hunt that you always wanted at a good price, and to support Canadian outdoor industry too.

I would guess they are if you have a Resident tag in the correct zone, but as you well know, you can't use the Alberta Guides allocated License unless you are a non-resident or non-resident Alien.

There are no changes that I know of but it doesn't mean they weren't given special permission for this year due to Covid. Would only cost you a phone call to the guide to find out for sure. Let us know if there is in fact the ability to use outfitter allocations for this year by an Albertan.

Just texted one of my Outfitter Buddy's waiting to hear back

“”Residents who did not receive a Special Licence authorization through the draw process are now eligible to obtain a Special Licence hunting opportunity through the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society. This opportunity is in response to the financial hardship currently experienced by the lack of international travel due to current restrictions. Current licence restrictions still apply.””

Above is straight out of the new hunting regs, important changes section. Based on this I would assume that outfitters can use their allocations for Alberta residents for this year.

That’s the conclusion I came to aswell after reading that....what I wonder is do you have to hunt with the outfitter or a guide of his or can you just buy the “hunting opportunity”and go out on your own because as a resident you don’t need a guide...interesting times for sure.

Interesting. I had a suspicion that might be the case. Obviously the guides got a heads up quite a ways in advance that this was happening. Also explains why the regs were late. All you guys that want to hunt Alberta Antelope and not wait 12 years have the chance to do it. I can't see any guide selling just the allocation but you won't know till you ask.

Well this is game changing other than I'm only working one week a month now and I've already got a BC elk hunt planned

Unfortunately it's only usable if you applied for the draw for Antelope which I did not this year s*****

Be interesting to see if 999 counts as part of the special draw process. If not there is going to be a really limited pool of clients for the guides to draw from.

I read that statement, and I don't see where it states that you had to apply for the tag in the draw. My interpretation is that as long as you didn't draw a tag, you can use an outfitter allocation.

I read it two or three times and the intent really isn't very clear. Applied but didn't get, has not got a special license whether u applied or not. Could mean you just can't have two special licenses for the same animal. Could read it either way. Going to call fish and game on Tuesday for clarification.

Those are pricey 3 day antelope hunts. $1600 per day.

If you want an Alberta goat it is 5 grand vs 14 years. Considering you can go to Africa for 7 days and a half dozen animals for the same price, plus air, no hunting in NA is cheap. Personally, most years u can go to wyoming, new Mexico etc pretty much every year, find far more and bigger animals and a lot lower price.

It is however not bad pricing by normal Alberta price points.

There could be a little bit of demand but I don't see a whole lot , people that are out of work don't have the money this year and the people that have the money have always had some money for these hunts. I don't know how many Outfitters would want to give their moose and Whitetail spots away to Residence, hopefully the good Outfitters make it through this.
