New to Alberta

[Moe.JKU]

Just moved to Calgary have been hunting in BC for many years. A few Moose, deer and bear under my belt. Although with moving here completely different regs than bc. Just looking for tips do you go for an area that has multiple species open, or do you focus on just one species?
Also if anyone wants to join i'm down for up to 6 hr drive to go find something everything shared from were we meet, you can also have the first shot. If not ill just hit the mountains myself. I'm getting close to backpack hunting just need to get in a little better shape before i can commit to that.

Thanks,
Moe

Welcome to Alberta Moe, Hope you can get everything figured out for this fall. You don’t need to memorize the regulations, but it doesn’t hurt to carry a copy with you when you are planning on hunting multiple WMU’s, as the rules can be quite different from one to the next. I always try to maximize my success by getting tags for multiple species, and I try to stick to public land, to avoid having to ask permission. It can be quite disappointing to scout an area that you can’t get permission in. Good luck this fall season. Tap into the iHunter app if you don’t already have it, lots of good info on there!!

Thanks, And yes I will stick to public land probably in the foothills and mountain areas. I do have will be getting ihunter here shortly now that its been suggested a few times here I see.

For public land/grazing areas, is there a map that covers the province like BC, or is it more localized here for each county?

Thanks in advance.

There is an overlaid map on the app for leased lands throughout the province, it breaks down each individual lease. And has contact info on almost all of them. It does cost extra to have that map though. You can also purchase county land owner maps individually. Prices of the maps tend to vary from county to county.
