Hunting coyotes in Alberta - What is required?

[PSE]

I m from out of province and would like to hunt coyotes during the next hunting season. Am I correct in assuming all I require is a Alberta Wildlife Certificate? Do I need to hold a valid big game tag such as mule or white tailed deer?

No tags are required. Coyotes are a pest animal. You need land permission and follow the general hunting regulations around Coyotes.

Yep, they're varmints. The land owner's permission and abide by all the local bylaws. Shoot safe.

Horse sh!t - great way to get the guy in trouble.

Yes, out of province hunters need a coyote/wolf license. I hunter host my brother every year for coyote/wolf hunting. You need a win card, a hunter host, a wildlife cert, and a coyote/wolf license.

"NON-RESIDENT (CANADIAN) LICENCE AVAILABILITY
All Non-resident hunters of big game, wolf or coyote require a Big Game Designated Guide or a Hunter Host....

...Prior to purchasing any licence, each hunter must possess a valid WIN (scroll up for more information regarding the WIN - Wildlife Identification Number) and a Wildlife Certificate, which costs $28.22. Hunters wishing to hunt with a bow and arrow must also purchase a Bowhunting Permit (not required for hunting with a cross-bow)....

...Wolf/Coyote $12.40. Click here for Other Species and more information."

YEP! Costs $12.40 plus WIN.

I misread the op post and assumed that he was moving from out of province. My bad.

Actually it costs $12.40 for the wolf/coyote license + Wildlife Certificate, which costs $28.22 + the $8 win card + $27 for the hunter host license.

If the op already is hunting here I assume he has a win, and he would have already had a host and wildlife cert so it's simply $12.40 to be able to shoot them while out hunting.

And a lot of 223 in a pear tree. Enjoy the hunt

All you need is a full tank of fuel and a .220 Swift

Thanks double gun, appreciate the info. I already have the host and WIN card and will get the rest as required.
