Hunting on privately owned lands without permission is a problem in Alberta. It generates anti-hunting sentiment amidst landowners and results in the prosecution of more than 200 hunters each yr. They should leave gates as they find them, avert damaging facilities or property, avert disturbing livestock and establish friendly relations with landholders.

Although at that place is a moral obligation to pursue wounded game and a legal requirement to ensure game is retrieved and non wasted or abandoned, these obligations do not override the legal requirement to get permission to enter private state.

  • Public country under agricultural or grazing lease (from addressee)

While recreational 'foot' access is generally accepted on public land, hunters should be aware that:

  • Off-highway vehicle (OHV) access is prohibited in virtually provincial parks and provincial recreation areas.
  • Off-highway vehicle access may be express or prohibited inside counties, municipal districts or within special public land management areas such every bit Public Land Utilize Zones (PLUZs).
  • Some PLUZs take designated OHV trail networks (i.due east. Ghost Pluz). In these areas, hunters are required to operate OHVs but on designated trails even when retrieving game.
  • Special conditions, such as extreme fire adventure, may warrant additional temporary access limitations.

Regardless of intent or mode of travel, all recreationists are expected and encouraged to respect, accept pride, and play a stewardship role in maintaining the quality and character of Alberta's natural resources.
