And as far as a "helper", what does that mean exactly? Don't see anything about a "helper" in the rules.

A 'helper' is simply a non-hunter accompanying you. Outside of the base, 'helpers' often carry firearms for varying reasons -(often as defacto, and illegal 'partner hunters'). If stopped and questioned by F&W, they can claim that they're hunting coyotes, rabbits, porcupines, whatever. However, on the base, only elk can be shot - all other animals are protected, so there's no reason a 'helper' need carry a firearm.
'Helpers' might wish to check the Alberta Hunting Regulations' definition of hunting. Pushing bush, intentionally 'blocking' escape routes or communicating game movement/whereabouts for a licensed hunter could be construed to be 'hunting'.
