Where are the regs?
 

???? July 28th.

No kidding, come on!

Makes one wonder.

Late getting out = Lots of changes.

They come out August every year and changes have been out for months pretty simple

Ya don’t need no stinking regs. Just come on here and fire off any questions you might have....

... and then do the opposite of what your told because that will be the real answer to your question....:sHa_sarcasticlol:

Yeah I never understood the people asking where the regs are every single year, what do they need them so bad for?

Antelope seasons change sometime's. I believe archery will open on the 7th this year, but want to be sure for booking holidays etc. The regs are usually out before licenses are available to purchase.

Season dates change yearly for some animals

The updated Wildlife Regulations were posted yesterday.

The 2020/21 season dates are at the bottom, Table 1A-F, 4-6.

Wow!!
 

Holy crap!!! And here I thought I had a pretty good grasp of the regulations after all these years!!!! Not the complete ones, that for sure! Thanks!

Did you have me on ignore for the last ten years? :lol:

The synopsis barely covers the hunting regulations, and NOT a legal description of the laws.

The majority of the hunting rules are in the Wildlife Act and Wildlife Regulations.

Wildlife Regulations above.

Wildlife Act here https://www.canlii.org/en/ab/laws/st...set=0#document

Good to know,.

I like seeing everything in black and white.

Also a standout That This document {Unlike the Guide to Hunting regulations booklet} is the lack of a disclaimer at the end that its not the official document and as such may not be correct or contain all information.

and those changes are posted in the draw booklet......

That information is in the draw booklet

That information is in the draw booklet.

for the love of god people. The regulations booklet is never and has never been out in july. Generally it comes out mid august. Why are people so antsy about it? Season dates and information has already came out.

Last year the regs came online and probably the same for hard copy on July 25, check the sticky, should be soon.

New regs are up

And what do ya know.... the antelope archery season dates are different than the draw booklet.....

Actually, not quite true. I was talking to Travis Ripley (AEP Executive Director Fish and Wildlife Policy Branch) and in the last bit of this Alberta Legislature session, 43 amendments to the Wildlife Act were passed. They did not want to issue a book and then update it, so the new book only just went to the printers.

Not seeing bird limits?

Scroll to bottom. Click on Big game and Game Bird seasons(WMU). Then use the drop down box. Its at the bottom.

402 still 3 point or better I though that got changed to 6 point? All those ghost and waiparous road warriors that don’t read the regs are going to get nailed by mule deer going onto draw in 412 414 :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Are you sure Travis said the Wildlife Act and not the Wildlife Regulations?

The Wildlife Act has not been amended since Feb. 20, 2018.

Using Canlii, you can view old versions of legislation, and compare different versions.
This is the Wildlife Regulation comparison for the 12/12/2019 and the 7/28/2020 versions.

Big changes to OHV useage and now allowing dogs to accompany a hunter.

Only the 400’s are now affected the by OHV ban before noon, and it’s no longer illegal to have the pup in the truck or on the quad with you, as long as you aren’t using it to hunt with.

Apparently all you need is the draw booklet

Who pushed for morning ATV use?

The few wmus this was tried in have been a disaster....now the entire province gets to hear that sweet can am rumble instead of elk bugles....brutal.

I agree, I've had more than one morning hunt ruined by guys quading into a spot I was walking into at sunrise, now it will be even worse probably.

No kidding I wouldn't mind no ATVs unless it was to retrieve an animal in my WMU, are before daylight and not till after dark again.
