either sex elk priority
Just wondering what priority people are at to get drawn for either sex elk? My wife and daughter put separate draws in for down by Cypress Hills and they both got drawn on a priority 3. On the weekend we decided to get the tags purchased and on my daughters tag I notice WMU 728/730.....WTF is that and where is that? I couldn't believe when I saw Wainwright. My wife has the proper WMU's we put in for. I called Relm and the lady said thats where she put in for. I told her I was drawn for the first ever bull elk on Suffield and after that Zhit show no way in hell would our family put in for a hunt on any military base. So I'm just wondering what was needed to get in. The only good thing it's only three years waisted and not 14 years like Suffield.

Good luck hunters. I'm here looking for cow moose. If anybody would like to exchange #'s and let eachother know of animals seen, pm me. The base staff have been excellent all week. They have to put up with a lot. But I appreciate the help that they have been.

Idiots come from every walk of life. That's why we have to have rules. If you breakem, you pay! Don't matter to me who you are, i've witnessed the results from FN and Non FN. It's all the same in the end...Idiots! :)
|
Does anyone else find it ironic that the person who figures Alberta FN/Metis should be entitled to 50% of the future base tags is complaining that possibly Saskatchewan FN/Metis might have rec'd preference to them in previous military hunts?? That's how 1000's of Alberta licenced hunters feel about the entitlement of certain groups on this hunt, welcome to the frustration.......!! :angry3:

Im just giving general ideas u either can like it or dislike it and at the end no one will feel fair about this subject if i said regulated hunters should have 90% of tags and fn 10% i will get the same response i got from you from fn hunters!! And i just passed thought about priority for Saskatchewan coz they drive farther it just didn’t make sense to me i might be wrong with my thought too soo lets hope everyone start show more respect for the rules and the laws of the land!!!

I'm pretty sure FN/Metis would never agree to tag limits to begin with as that would limit them from shooting multiple moose/elk like what is happening now(and in Crown land province wide since I started hunting 30 years ago). I agree with the previous posts that there will be a serious incident and/or more serious infractions coming and the base will need to enforce drastic changes that will affect the future of this hunt FOR EVERYONE . IMO more charges/communications should have happened last year after the FN firearm discharge at the check out, someone easily could have been killed in that incident..... Does anyone have more info on any charges and/or permanent loss of base privileges of the people caught with the 5 elk in PDA3 off limits area? |

Suffield has changed since its first couple of years. Guys that have been down recently can chime in -- briefing doors close -- no briefing no access to the base that day, creation of the walk in / pack out only area and I think a restriction on the total number of drawn hunters plus harvesters / helpers per day
Perhaps the same things should be looked at for Wainwright -- more walk in only areas, eliminate the drive in to bring an animal out in the Annex -- shoot it and pack it out, restrict the number of helpers, restrict the total number of hunters -- xx drawn plus x pre-registered harvesters (no pre-registration - no access). Add another primitive weapons season -- this would mean dropping a rifle season as the current 5 seasons is the max for the staff. At some point the ability to handle the numbers must exceed the staff capacity and then there is safety as a paramount concern. |

Camp Wx 2019 101
This is the most painful thread to read in a long time and so glad I took the year off of this site.
The facts: Hunters (drawn, FN, and non-hunters) have been charged this year. Like EVERY year I have worked the check station since 2001. We have constantly tried to modify and improve the hunt. Changes like PDAs being considered "hunting in a closed area" greatly improved enforcement on these issues and reduced some issues. Constant FW Officers and MPs at the hunt the past few years have also reduced but not eliminated offences. I am embarrassed to be a hunter almost everyday I work the check station as even with FW Officers, MPs and RC patrolling and daily safety briefs the phone is always ringing with issues and STUPID and UNSAFE activity. Yes, as reported by the RCO there was an incident where 5 elk were seizes, 5 hunters (which happen to be FN THIS time) were charged and their hunt was ended on base. They self reported that they were in PDA3 (Permanent Danger Area that is ALWAYS closed to hunting and unescorted use) and on site seemed very confused and lost. That does not excuse the behaviour but it did show it was not a group just doing whatever they want with no care of rules. They still processed all the animals after they knew the animals were being seized to ensure the meat was not wasted. It will feed families in the Wainwright area. Yes, other charges have happened almost every 3 day hunt this year and more non-FN have been charged than FN this year (and every year as that is the first FN that I know of that have been charged with a WILDLIFE charge). I can't get go into any details due to legal cases but others have had their base hunt shortened, have fines and animals seized. Yes, Last year's discharge was a serious incident. We know how scary it was as we were actually THERE! That is a RCMP/MP issue now (it was not a hunting issue at the time). FYI-there was 5 loaded weapon charges last week in one afternoon from drawn hunters so that incident could happen all the time. ALL hunters need to get their head out of their asses. ALL HUNTERS need to stop being so self-centred, less self entitled, stop using drugs/alcohol during the hunt, follow wildlife and firearm regulations, quit thinking that this is some form of cull hunt where there is no rules, start using their head, start actually thinking, start treating everyone with respect and just enjoy hunting. There is an incredible amount of animals in the RTA. I flew it. The age classes are there after 5 good winters. There is over 4K deer out there and 500+ moose. IF YOU CAN'T find them that is 1) WX is a very tough hunt due to no control of scouting, open areas and other hunters 2) post rut bucks/bulls (mainly WTDE) are tough to hunt and most people have no idea how to do it 3) weather 4) lack of ability I am logging off again. Sadly this thread and most threads have nothing to do with sharing the hunt but complaining and whining. It really makes it tough as a wildlife manager to take hunter input seriously after reading this. Later |
Its not just Camp Wainwright its a gong show out there. Why is it getting so much worse???

Hopefully this trend does not continue at Wainwright |

Thanks again |
Amazing what occurs on a controlled hunt with people watching...sure makes you wonder what happens when no ones watching.

Thanks for all you do on site and behind the scenes. You are echoing what I’ve been saying for years. Far too many “hunters” are without a doubt the most brazenly bass ackwards thinkers out there. Your choice of words is without a doubt pretty accurate.(self centered, self entitled) Threads like this one do so much harm in the court of public opinion. Hopefully some folks find a cure for rectal cranial inversion in their stockings for Christmas. |
Shed,
If you're willing, would love to see the final harvest numbers of the hunt. Still keen to know how the hunting is and what the success rates are. |
shedcrazy for the win. Nothing like having some facts to throw back into all the negative posts this thread became. 90% of the posts here had nothing to do with the hunt as I've said many times.
Interesting how sheds perspective varies wildly from the first post that talked about the hunters showing no remorse. More importantly I hope to see those whining for equality post another 8 pages of complaints about all the licensed hunters who get charged or fined at a significantly higher rate then non licensed hunters. |
Quote:
The race of the people getting charged is irrelevant to me. If you break the law, you should be charged. However this doesn’t change the fact that there should be equal opportunity to be out hunting for a resource owned by all Albertans. |

First you said it was four pages of racist crap now you are saying it is 8 pages. Quit your ranting and actually look at the thread instead of trying to incite an argument . Cat |
