Like I said I don't know the man and don't know whether he intentionally broke the law or not. He would not be the first outfitter that made an honest mistake though and I don't believe any of us know for certain he did not. I would think it is safe to say all of us have made mistakes at our jobs. You guys aren't getting my point I guess. I am not a huge proponent of outfitters or a person that doesn't believe the book should be thrown at one that breaks the law. I also don't believe in dragging a mans name threw the mud insinuating he is a dirty outfitter intentionally breaking the law when I don't know for sure he didn't make an honest mistake.
another one Outfitter fined for unauthorized hunting

did you read really all the 140 posts?
as i said if it was the first time but it s not .... he chased sheeps and caribous away from local hunters with his plane a cub when his family operated the area #15. they lost that zone ... benefice of the doubt for sure when it s happening more than once bells are ringing ...
I don't think there's any bloody way the man did not know he was going into an area that was off limits (or out-of-season); I just think like steroid users, he thought he wouldn't get caught...
Every time I go hunting, I make damn sure I am aware of the seasons and zones. It's an easy thing to do, and if you cannot be bothered with that 'detail' stuff, then you shouldn't be out there. And when you get talking about a so-called 'professional', he's got to be unimpeachable. Clearly this guy was not.
With all the info available on the internet today, regarding seasons and hunting zones, plus 'research' done by hunting clients, how they also not know that information?

I'm likely missing it but I've been over the regs a couple times and can't see where it says that the NR season starts later than the resident season. Can someone help me out?

It may not be in there. If it is like the Alberta regulations, it is just a "guide".
this is part of his agreement to his outfitting license for that zone. the area that he is hunting is on draw for locals ...
there is one place where non resident can hunt before the locals for one sheep ...
I'm not talking about the outfitter. If the NR hunters did as some suggested it was their duty to do and read the regs carefully they would have had no clue that the zone was closed. That information was not printed on their license either and if the outfitter did not tell them, how could they be considered guilty as well?
ok here we are ...the regs you read are not regs ...

Like some special draws in Alberta, you receive extra information and instructions once you buy a license. Like suffield or wainwright, there is a meeting every morning. Or wmu 300 elk, you get additional info once you have a tag.
Maybe ask your buddy if they received any additional info once they purchased their non-res tag.
