Bringing my Foxpro out next time I come out to Alberta now... 
But I also understood that in the past if you were on private land using an electric caller wasn't an issue it was only if you were on crown/public land were the CO's could or would check you.

Pretty sure it was still illegal on private land, just wasn't enforced so much. (Wink, Wink)
I never took mine but saw no reason not to other than I try not to break any laws.
When I am in Alberta I usually just walked out into the fields around my in-laws place so didn't leave a vehicle to attract anyones attention that I was out there so never worried about being see let alone checked.

woo hooo
going to have to get one now
going to have to get one now
In the 2009 Alberta hunting draws book it says this:
Electronic calls can now be used to hunt crows, black billed magpie, coyote, red fox and wolf (using sounds that mimic the animals or rodents).
I take this to mean that you cannot have sounds like “fawn in distress” on the caller.
Only rodent sounds and the sounds the crows, coyotes, etc., themselves make.
I actually wish they hadn’t allowed the use of electronic calls.
It’s taken me a lot of practice to learn to use all my different hand calls over the years.
Now everyone is going to be running around with their electronic callers whacking MY coyotes.
I say this strictly from a position of personnel greed

Big deal, coyotes aren't worth the time to skin, let alone the co$t of a fancy electronic gadget. Where can I get one?

Agreed- I was just starting to get better at calling...now I will have to shell out $$ to compete with my friends! And no more annoying the wife with practicing in the basement next to the stereo. Damn.

What if the mimicked sound is a dying animal or rodent?
Maybe it's all in the interpretation.
