It's not me making regulations. In your province can you shoot on land with out permission?
I think it boils down to proper management of all game. Some hunters aren't all honest, and while hunting coyotes with 300 win mag, might just pop a moose,deer,elk..etc. It is way easier to keep track of hunters if you know who is guiding for them.
I see a lot more " Bed and Breakfasts" opening up near good hunting grounds. This is just another way around guiding in the farmland. The influx of wealthy Albertans buying land on the forest fringe is also growing. The houses just happen to have 6 or 7 bedrooms, and their buddies come hunting.
Who knows maybe they give these people a little money for their stay? I was told not long ago that we don't know how to manage our wildlife in this province. But having people that do this is helping?
