Just remember that in any law enforcement system in this country what you tell them will or maybe used against you in a court of law.So if you told them whatever you get written up and that isn't the FW officers who made these rules or laws.
He is just paid to make sure there not broken and he writes you up and then court decides how to go about it and the correct fine ,you didn't lie about it so that is one thing in your favor which the courts will look hard at,if you did lie in any way and they decide you did then you pay for your lies and the offence.
Lets just say it's like you said and you will get some sort of fine and if you were not rude to the officer and they have some pull with the crown and so on.
We all learn by our mistakes and your not the only one in alberta,but without laws for wildlife there wouldn't be anything to hunt.Look it as a long term donation for future wildlife that you will hunt no matter the amount and it sure as hell isn't going to be 50 grand.
