You have not done a tour of Manitoba. They are not the coastal range, but the Riding Mountains in the mid west are wonderful. Elk are plentiful, with mulies, whitetail, blackbear and lots of smaller game.

Riding Mountain National Park (hint: National Park) has no hunting........ever.......for anyone. And it's not a mountain, only rolling hills with slight elevations which are tree covered.
 
BC sucks. Don't waste your time coming here. No game to hunt. all private land.

Like a good neighbor..............stay over there
 
Even tho I live in Manitoba I cast my vote for Alberta! Each and every province has its own charm and varied terrain but Alberta has the good fortune to have such diverse terrain that there is a greater variety of game species to hunt then in any other province in the country!

While Alberta does offer quite a number of species to hunt, it doesn't come close to BC for variety. I think even the Yukon ties us for number of huntable species or maybe even has one more if you break caribou into two categories. The NWT could be in there for a tie too if they get their Central Barrenground caribou season back.

one of the silliest polls to date, like asking whats your favourite colour, every place offers a different flavour non better or worse than the other

Yup, one glance at a topo map and it's readily apparent that Alberta has a sniff of what BC has via the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains.

May very well be the case, ( note to self, make sure you do all the research before making such a bold statement! ):rolleyes: ...I would still pick Alberta as my destination of choice in Canada! Economical to travel to and healthy game populations most years when mother nature co-operates.

^Is these the only reasons? Or do you have a hunter host in Alberta??
 
Yeah, the friendly north has room to play, world class fishing, someone's loaned fishing boat (very trusting folks up there) natural beauty in abundance, with the ever present wildlife. My few trips to the NWT were always exciting.

Of course it's hard to consider the Dempster Highway a real highway, all the way to the Yukon and then Alaska. More like a never ending, very dusty, high grade gravel road, with sections of black top in the summer months. ;)

The Dempster goes from Yukon to Inuvik, NWT. ;) The adventure is pretty well gone out of the Alaska Highway too...well other than the frost heaves at Kluane Lake....lol

Sorry! Was thinking about the highway that runs mostly due west of Inuvik to the Yukon. I was told it continued on, all the way to the Alaskan border. On a clear day near the Inuvik airport, you could see the low mountains that were purported to be in the Yukon Territory. I assume somewhere in between runs the Red River and Aklavik, unseen from where we were. (part of the Mackenzie Delta?)
 
Ya you can hook into the Top of the World Highway at Dawson and take it all the way to Tok, Alaska. It's a pretty scenic drive and a stop in Chicken is a must!

still just "walk in and buy a tag" here for residents soooooooooooooo I vote for here. Plus ENDLESS OUTDOORS to play in......almost literally

in Yellowknife but there is some communauties where you cant get even a moose tag ... Yukon is better but that is a kept secret we are still not that high numbers to hunts ... some species are more taken by non residents than by residents if that help to sum up ...
 
I have only hunted in NB. I think we have the best in Atlantic canada (generous bear hunting, OK whitetail if you put the time in, decent waterfowl). I grew up on PEI and while their waterfowl.is Ok there is no big game.

BC and Alberta sound like dream hunting locations to me.
