Hunting leased land.

[Jack fish hunter]

So there is a bunch of land around my home that is leased from the government. First question are you required by law to ask permission? If you do is there a way to track down the leaseholder?

Yes ask permission.

You can find the details of the lease holder contact info on the rec access alberta site ... when the server is back up ..... there was a fire in the data centre and obviously they had no disaster recovery plan.... oh my yes that happened .. Bloody government

I think the local MD may also be able to provide contact info but I'm not sure on that.

Not sure whereabouts you’re located, but keep in mind a leaseholder is not required to permit Rec access if there is a fire ban. Don’t quote me on this but I’m 90% sure I read this somewhere last year when tracking down permission on leased land for antelope.

Technically speaking he is not wrong. It says the leaseholder is not allowed to determine if the risk is to high for, that decision is the province's to make. But if the province has issued a fire ban, that means they determined it is high risk.

So I belive access can be denied on that basis.

I disagree. Just because there is a fire ban in place, does not mean the province deems the risk too high for access. They are two different things.
I've seen provinces (BC for sure) issue a ban for everything including foot traffic to provincial land, after there had been a fire ban for weeks in advance.

I’m not saying that your complaints will be heard I’m saying you can complain it’s your right. Just sharing a little information. Don’t be scared to talk to the leaseholder about his contract and the terms of. I just got permission on mulie country on some lease land and only by asking him the conditions and time frames was I able to negotiate my permission sometimes it just takes some talking getting comfortable with somebody
