160 acres Private Hunting

[s3xspert11]

I'm sorry but...Supply and demand...So plain to see the socialist/commie ideals come out when it has to with anything someone else has but others don't...Jealousy is an evil sin and for good reason.

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.
Instead of just saying "cool Idea, might not be totally legal get advice from a lawyer"
Its the tenth degree of douchebag crap talking, See it on here time and time again, It totally takes away from genuine questions
and conversations with smart guys who have great knowledge to share. REM JIM IE example along with many others.

Thid is hilarious in its entirety when the law came to existence and is enforced by Alberta conservative governments.

But guys luke you would be crying like babies if landowners could sell hunting access to the highest bidder and you had nowhere to hunt because you weren't one of them.

See how that works?

As I’ve matured as a hunter I enjoy travelling farther afield and experiencing different environments to “walk my gun” in.
This means knocking on the door of a stranger. I’m not the most gregarious person and feel awkward at what amounts to asking for a favour, so I bring a little gift (not booze) to break the ice and thank them for their time. I insist they keep the gift permission granted or not.
Am I guilty of paying for hunting?

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?

The laws are pretty plain when it comes to this matter. Try reading them sometime. You cannot trade cash for hunting access in Alberta. Not to Joe Blow or an outfitter. Does it happen? Yes. If you're caught doing it of course. Some are willing to take that chance.

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?.

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.

Something as simple as the title of this thread is probably enough to get you in trouble if someone wanted to pursue it, it establishes that the intent is to rent for hunting access. Do you intend to give hunting permission to any other party who asks if they aren’t renting? If not then one could argue that renting the cabin is required for access.

Im ranting in a general Sense bud, not directed at anyone specific. Some have made good points like yourself, Others not so much. Also yes hard to gauge on online forums peoples tone* when it comes to CGN its always a wild card.

As far as the rules and written Law, Much like taxes and such, there is always legal ways to skirt it or loopholes, weather we want to agree on them or not always some kind of loophole, maybe this could count or maybe not. That's best left to a Lawyer and not my dumbass on a forum that likes the guys idea of renting his cabin out.

I see what you are saying, However don't agree entirely. We are truly blessed here in AB with crown land. Is it ideal trophy bucks and yada yada, maybe not but we are fortunate to be able to drive out a few hours and hunt. ( If we don't have our own private land)

It could be a hell of a lot worse like some states where its all mostly private land and well in that case I see your point and would be crying.
