Hunters without Borders!

[PeterLester]

It is really unfortunate that there is essentially zero standardization of hunting regulations between the Canadian provinces. I just recently became aware when trying to use my Alberta credentials so as to hunt with relatives in NB and also in Ontario this fall.

Anyone else on this forum aware of the myriad of differences?

[Diesel_wiesel]

Yup
Big differences
Just between Alberta and Saskatchewan

No kidding. Don't forget about BC either. Might as well be in different countries when talking big game regs. At least your migratory licence is pretty standard coast to coast to coast (I think).

That's forsure I recently moved to central sask An been studying up on the hunting regs am sure a lot diff an talking with the guys at work here an they were just amazed that back home in Alberta we didn't have to wear blaze orange

[Slicktricker]

Of course they are different or most of us would be in sask hunting there mule deer and same goes both ways. What you think they are going to have it same province wide?

You have to be kidding right???

Every zone in AB has different regulations as to what can be hunted, let alone what's to hunt in BC or SK.

What's good to hunt in AB, sure ain't gonna be the same in NB.
And that's a good thing.

Yea I don't see too much standardization across the country making a whole lot of sense when it comes to game management. It's hard enough for one province to get it right for their own boundaries let alone trying to get it right across the country. I think each province should be in charge of their own regulations but I think their should be more opportunities for Canadian non-residents to be able to hunt in other provinces, I shouldn't have to sell my kidney to go hunt in BC, Sask or the Yukon if I want too.

Since when? I'm originally from Nova Scotia and have never heard of that rule before?

Straight from the N.S. regs pretty easy to find.

Permit to Keep Meat
Deer Any harvested deer must be reported online or at a deer registration station (see page47).Any person in possession of deer meat must: a) retain their Deer Hunting Licenceand; b) ensure a confirmation number or registration seal is recorded on their Deer Hunting Licence. Once completed, the signed/sealed Deer Hunting Licence will serve as a valid meat storage permit, for the person who killed the deer, until April 30th of the following year. After April 30th, you must obtain a Storage Permit from Department of Natural Resources to store deer meat

[kw12]

Interesting I've never heard of that but I've also been gone for almost 10 years. Obviously knew about the tags and stuff but not the permit needed for keeping meat past April.

ABSOLUTLY NOT!

No damn way should anyone who does not live here have any say in how we manage our wildlife. And that includes the Supreme Court of more equals and eastern Canada.

Cold ****ing day in hell when I listen to some eastern know it all when it comes to hunting. all the little crap holes on the coast can keep their garbage. Bring Cash and onterrible ain't even worth discussing. I'll carry a gun where and when I please, store whatever I want in my freezer, and there will be no pumpkin hat requirements or royalties.

Far as I'm concerned, it should require a birth certificate or 3 years of Alberta income tax receipts to get a hunting license or work in AEP/F&W. Don't like it? Go home or buy a hunt in Texas.

[58thecat]

One does not dictate what another shall doooooooo....we are albertans, Vikings, cross unto our lands and you end up mixed in with the sausage meat...

I get it , one province does not spill over thier regs...we are still trying to figure out what the heck is going on here let alone if we became a complete mosh pit...

Exactly, it's our resource, so we should manage it as we see fit. And we should start managing that resource more for our residents, as Saskatchewan does.

Haha I shouldn't think, speak or post without coffee. The angry drill instructor that looks like me shows up too often. It was a good rant though

Anyway, I want to clarify I was referring to wildlife policy and the double dippers who don't live here and buy resident licenses/draws. No problem with the hunter host system and those who use it honestly.
