Lastly, outfitter allocations should only be available if the game population is healthy enough to allow a general season for Alberta residents. If an Alberta resident has to wait several years to draw a tag in a given WMU, then there should be no non resident allocations for that species, in that WMU.
I was a guide for a lot of years and never liked competing with resident hunters ,but now I am a landowner and not guiding and my views have changed over the years ,it should be GAME FIRST ,RESIDENT 2ND ,OUTFITTERS AFTER THAT . IMO
