You whine about outfitters. Same thing other than a landowner gets a free gift every year as an outfitter had to many thousands to get a tag which all land owner can deny access for.

Many people that apply for sheep, goat, bison, and some elk tags, have no clue what is involved with the hunt, or even where they have to hunt. Because the application costs so little, they don't care enough to bother doing any research. If they had to commit to paying for the license if drawn, which adds another $40 to $50 to their commitment, some of them would at least do some research, and then decide not to bother applying.
As for landowners, they provide food and habitat all year to many animals, and they provide land for many residents to hunt on, so why shouldn't they get a tag. Outfitters provide nothing as far as habitat, they just bring in non residents that don't contribute in any way to the province, and in many cases, not to the local economy either. Outfitters are just a parasite that are out to make profits, and could care less about the Alberta residents.
