I don't even think its that deep man. Some guys on here just like to be negative cancer. Always seem to "eat our own" mentality.
Whats negative about pointing out the way the law is written before someone steps into a pile? Its only positive when its on your misinformed side of the discussion right?
That’s correct. However the minute the outfitter compensates the landowner in any way it becomes illegal. You cannot pay or accept payment for hunting access in Alberta.So the landowner can only give permission to an outfitter to access their privately owned land for hunting purposes BUT the outfitter can charge money to a third party for hunting on someone else privately owned land?.
Jesus…I bet your fun at parties..Awesome. Just don't rent it out for the purposes of accessing the land for hunting and you will be fine.
He is offering something potentially ILLEGAL. If someone offered you a K of cocaine at a very low price, would you be all in on that, because that person was being nice?
No. The Alberta govt says it is illegal to charge someone to hunt on your private property.
The outfitters are not operating on THEIR private property. They get permission to access private land or they operate on Crown land.
BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL, thats why.
Why is this so difficult for people to understand?
Well, Ive read most of this thread (quit somewhere on page 5) and if it were me, after reading all the responses I would post the land and close it permanently to public access. Done deal not because what you are proposing is illegal (from what you have posted it appears to me that it is clearly NOT illegal) but I would discuss it with fish and wildlife to make sure you don’t inadvertently word something wrong. Even then, WAY too many douche bags out there (as ecvidenced in this thread) that would go out of their way to make your life miserable (some of them are likely the very ones that hunt on private land without permission all the time). Keep the cabin AND the hunting access personal or immediate family and save yourself a lot of grief.
Every province seems to have different regulations. In Manitoba as far as Inknow it is not illegal to charge money to hunt on private land. But yet in Saskatchewan it is legal to bait game. I see tv shows in Saskatchewan where people in blinds are shooting bucks standing knee deep in a hay bale. Here in Manitoba they would lock you up for that. Only allowed to bait bears. In fact hunting less than 300 yards from an unharvested crop or bales on the field is considered hunting on or near bait, go figure.
I don’t like asking for permission much. It makes me feel like a cap in hand beggar, asking strangers for a scrap of bread, spare change or a smoke. Paid hunting makes it fair more friendly; it changes the dynamic to a transaction, or an inquiry about one. Far more friendly, its like asking for a hotel room, I don’t take it too personal if there aren’t any vacancies and they don’t care if I found the price too high and walked away.
