Similar to Sheephunters thread about What game have you taken that is avalible in NA.

Using the AF&GA Wildlife records book for the spiecies avalible to Alberta hunters hunting in our province.

Bighorn Sheep
Elk
White-tailed Deer
Mule Deer
Moose
Black Bear
Grizzly Bear(hunted in recent times)
Pronghorn
Rocky Mountain Goat(limited opportunity)
Cougar
Mountain Caribou(not huntable here for many years)
Timber Wolf

Lets add Coyote as they are avalible and popular to hunt.

Thats 13 that may have been harvested by Albertans in Alberta in the past. (Caribou and Grizzly debateable if we should include them and goat permits are sure rare)

I have never held a permit for Caribou, Grizzly, Goat or Cougar.
And those are the animals I have not harvested from the above list.

While bison and bobcat are not eligible for the Alberta record book, they are more great huntable species in this province.

I've been fortunate enough to take all the Alberta species although my goat, caribou and grizz did not come from Alberta. What a great province we live in!

Your not alone there GoonBag that is all I go for too. Hold I am wrong.. put mule deer as well. Oh and alot of you left out those giganit Jack Rabbits. Some of those Jack rabbits can do kung fu on a person. They should be included in big game.
