From what I know, that pretty much happens every two or three years and they rotate the hunt in the Hinton, Grande Cache and Edson area. It is why there are only 40 tags available to licensed hunters. How the hell that qualifies as subsistence hunting I have no idea, but it is going on in every area of crown land with access.

well i have lived in the Edson Hinton area for over 60 years hunting trapping and logging and although i have heard of the semi trailer tales i have never seen it for my self . tree planters park out in the bush with semi trailers in the spring and summer months . I think its a case of mistaken identity
