Landowners permits

[biggamehunter]

Is there such thing as a landowners permit for cattleranches. And if you have one you can shoot bears on your property without a tag? My buddy said he had one and your allowed but i dont think i believe him.

Yes there is a landowners permit.

Landowner Special Licence
A person who qualifies may be eligible to obtain a special licence after
having been unsuccessful in some draws. Availability of Landowner Special
Licences may be limited or not available at all for some species in certain
WMUs. Those available will be issued to eligible persons on a first-come,
first-served basis. For details on eligibility and the application process,
please consult the 2010 Alberta Hunting Draws booklet.


As for Black Bears you don't need a landowners permit.

Access for Control of Livestock Predation
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.


All from the hunting regs. http://www.albertaregulations.ca/Hunting-Regs-2010.pdf
