Provincial Hunting Day was today and no one mentioned it.

For a outdoors forum I'm amazed no one posted this a few days ago, to let our hunting youth know.. Maybe a missed opportunity for some. A little late in the day for the young hunters to participate now. I just noticed it now myself. It was Provincial Hunting Day today.

From the 'My Wild Alberta' website:

Provincial Hunting Day – Fourth Saturday in September
The Government of Alberta has designated the fourth Saturday of September as Provincial Hunting Day. This day recognizes the Alberta traditions of hunting and conservation of our fish and wildlife resources.

Aside from the opportunities for eligible youth to hunt upland game birds, there are no additional opportunities being made available for hunters and hunting. Hunting groups will be hosting events throughout Alberta and will be providing mentoring opportunities for first-time hunters.

Youth Hunting Initiative – Fourth Saturday in September
Eligible youth can hunt upland game birds on Provincial Hunting Day without a provincial Game Bird Licence.

To be eligible:
the hunter must be an Alberta resident, 12 to 17 years of age, who has passed the Alberta Conservation and Hunter Education course
the youth must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or someone who is 18 or older with written permission from the parent or guardian in order for the youth to hunt using a firearm
the youth can only hunt upland game birds for which there is or will be an open season in that WMU (regular bag limits apply)
Participants should also note:

Camp Wainwright (WMUs 728 and 730) is not open to hunting on this day.
Merriam’s turkey may not be hunted anywhere in the province on this day.
A resident youth who already holds a provincial Game Bird Licence may also hunt additional species of upland game birds that are open to youth hunting on this day.
Licensed adult hunters may hunt with eligible youth on this day, but only for upland game birds for which the regular season is open.
