I've been looking into hunting in different provinces for a while now. I love hunting bears, coyotes & whitetails here in Ontario, but what I really want is to go after some bigger game out west, Muleys in Alberta, Whitetails in Saskatchewan, & caribou in Northern Quebec.
Here's some info that I've found while looking around. In Canada, the only provinces where non-residents can go out, buy tags & hunt are Saskatchewan & Quebec. Obviously, non-resident tags cost a lot more than resident tags, but in Saskatchewan, Canadian residents pay less for the tags than foreigners.
In Alberta, non-residents may only hunt if they have a "hunter host." With the hunter host program, a non-resident needs to have a resident who basically acts as a guide while they hunt. There is a lot more information on Alberta's natural resources website, but it requires buying a special licence, and then buying your tags.
As far as game that's available, Quebec sells moose tags & caribou tags over the counter to non-residents. Saskatchewan allows non-residents to hunt Whitetails & Black bears, but not Muleys. Alberta allows non-residents to hunt everything, by the same rules as residents once you have a hunter host.
Obviously these aren't the only places you can hunt, these are just the areas & game that I'm interested in pursuing.
Cheers.
Tim
