Taxidermy for Problem Bears?
Neighbour has a large black bear that has been terrorizing the property, ripping up garbage, eating honey, ripping up feed stacks... we intend to remove this bear and I understand that once the bear is killed fish and wildlife has to be informed but my question is once this black bear is dead and the respective authorities informed, are we allowed to taxidermize it and if so what documentation has to be filled out?
Thanks in advance

Black Bear and Coyote*
Any person who is (a) the owner or occupant of privately owned land, or (b) authorized to keep livestock on public land, or (c) a resident authorized by a person described in (a) or a resident authorized in writing by a person described in (b) may, without a licence, hunt (but not trap) black bear or coyote on such lands, at all times of the year.
* It is not legally necessary to salvage pelts of furbearing animals (includes coyote and wolf) or black bear taken in accordance with regulations authorizing the control of problem wildlife set out in this part. The skin and skull of cougar taken on privately-owned land as described must be submitted at time of registration as noted, but the cougar pelt does not need to be further salvaged. Click here for information about seasons for coyote and wolf.
doesn't say anything about black bears needing to be submitted.
Best to confirm with Fish & Wildlife though

Shoot it and take it to the taxidermist. Not sure why F&W needs to be drug into it.

I've always been asked for a copy of the hunting license from the taxidermist. Maybe that's just their own policy but if they are required to be regulation you may need to get a form or letter or something from Fish and Wildlife saying that it was taken legally. I don't have a definitive answer either way, but just a thought.

You will need a letter from f&w. It will state who is authorized to do the shooting. You'll need sufficient evidence or call them over to confirm the problem bear. Farmer i deal with went this route and did not have any issues, rockyview county 314.

No. If it's on private land you are good to go.
Read the regs.

Exactly
Its.like the old wives tale that if you post no hunting on your land you cant hunt there either......
Or those stupid signs that read "No Trespassing without Permission"
How do you trespass WITH permission????
How about "No Access without Permission".....

There you go again Randy, posting while using common sense. People don't want to hear what's right.
Everyone with a keyboard knows everything about anything. They read it somewhere on the internet, or watched a video one time. Or had a freakin dream about it.
