draws in alberta
why is it in alberta that out of province hunters have as much right to a draw tag as a resident of alberta with the only stipulation being that they apply with a resident? the province of saskatchewan puts former residents ahead of everyone else leaving everyone else the leftovers and its only for white tail deer.yet a saskatchewan resident can come across the border and buy general or draw tags as long as they have a hunter host? seems like we need to look after the tax paying residents of this province first

as tags become harder and harder to obtain, especially moose and mule deer tags, it is possible that half of the available tags could go to residents and the other half go to non residents if the right people with the needed priority applied at the same time.
they say that outtfitters get 10% of available tags so why wouldnt non residents be allowed no more than 10%? the draw system needs some work!!!

Supposedly nonresident tags are capped at 10%....or at least I think that was the number put out there.
I think if the species and population is general, then the nonresident should be eligible....if it is draw, sorry.
It works in Saskatchewan....

The Saskatchewan family pool rewards people who have moved out of the province of Saskatchewan and discriminates against those who have no direct relatives living there.

For those that feel NR Hunter hosted licences are a problem,
What percentage of licences are issued to NR compared to Residents?

Saskatchewan sounds like paradise 
Can anyone tell me why it takes so long to get a NR elk tag in New Mexico. It's just not fair.
Getting F/W regs changed is akin to nailing jello to the wall.

Some years I wish that was a requisite. 
Nope, reg changes are often just a phone call away. No need to follow the Alberta Wildlife Policy or Strategic Plan.

IMO Saskatchewan's new system is terrible and personally I feel too discriminate against non residents who don't have family there is ridiculous !
Those who chose to relocate should have no more pull than anyone else in our passionate group...
There are some who own dirt in Saskatchewan, pay taxes and support the economy there who reside in another province... There is no special treatment for these people, so why allow previous residents who have family there better opportunities than others non residents? Silly...
Alberta, allowing non residents into our system is a good thing IMO, of course limit the percentage of allocations on the draw system but certainly allow this to continue..
We in Alberta have species that other provinces do not, allowing non resident hunter hosting is a good thing IMO.

I may be wrong but if he's lived here for six months and has an actual address in Alberta I'm pretty sure that qualifies him as a "resident"

Maybe you have some irrelevant and dated stats from 2009 that you
could post?? haha

There is no one solution, but its time that AB starts putting residents first...
