Done for another year~disappointing...but I didn't get to shoot any this year either. Saw a few back at the end of July while in AB/BC with the Mrs, they were taunting me while I was taking my wading boots off. lol Anyhow, I'll be back next year..only in the spring this time.
PS~wondered why the weasel~makes sense now. I know here in Ontario, if it's wildlife impacting a farmer's livelihood...the rules favour the farmer's choice on what to do about. Off of farms though, what do the regs out there say about weasels? We saw a few of them in Alberta last spring while shooting gophers. Left them alone, as they weren't an issue with the landowners.

I don't shoot the weasels I see while shooting gophers, they are gopher and mouse killing machines. Was a different story when I was growing up on the farm and we had laying hens though. They are ferocious little bastiges when confronted

Badgers on the other hand
We killed about 2 dozen last Saturday in southern Alberta. The numbers were way down from a few weeks ago. I'm hoping we still find a few this weekend but I'm not holding my breath.
Hoping to get an earlier start next spring. Parts of southern Alberta are literally in the middle of a gopher epidemic. Combined with the drought conditions, they are having a devastating effect on crops and pastures.
