Hunting reg.

[308 man]

Is there any thing for over 80 hunters who can't wait for 8 or 9 years to apply for a zone. I know asking for special privileges is iffy.

[calgarychef]

Nope, gotta wait your turn like everyone else.
I’d think that anyone 80 yrs. old has had lots and lots of great hunting opportunities and wouldn’t want to jump the line to take someone else’s opportunities.

A partner license may be an option, if he can team up with someone that draws a tag.

According to the Regs he would only be eligible on special License moose tags.


I would like to see that changed, you should be able to designate a YOUTH or Parent on ANY special license draw.

Taken out of the Alberta hunting regulations.....


3. Resident hunters successful in drawing a Special Licence in any of the other Draws may designate one eligible resident youth (12 to 17 years of age) or senior (65 years of age and over) to be a partner on their Special Licence.



Antelope,Elk,Moose,Deer,Sheep,Turkey...once Any old timer cracks 65 years old they can buy a partner licence for $12.00 on ANY special licence draw up to a certain limit as shown in the regulations.The information can be found under the “licensing and costs” header on the Alberta hunting regulations website.

You might wrangle a discount from a guiding service

I bet they had lots of cancellations this year

go on Ancestry.com and check and see if you have any metis or aboriginal relatives. If you could prove your aboriginal ancestry or metis heritage you could apply for a status card.

Had a buddy who did this.

This is one way for you to get special hunting privileges like my buddy.

I need to ask what it is you want out of this hunt? Do you need the meat desperately? Do you just want to get out and enjoy what you love doing, regardless whether you get anything or not? Or do you want a trophy? I guarantee some of the good people of this site would happy to share their meat with you, and a bunch more would be proud to take a man of your experience out hunting just for the enjoyment of it. I know I would. When it comes to collecting a trophy, that is a very personal thing, and you’re gonna have to wait in line.
