Hunting on public land

I live in Nova Scotia and when I retire I would like to move back to Alberta.Are there any public places to hunt elk or moose? That do not require a draw?

I don't think so but in many of the WMU it's easy to get draw. Most of them are north of the big centre's.
Where in NS are you? I've been out here since 89, from down around Ketch/ Sambro way.

There are quite a few zones out west that are still over the counter tags and 3 point or larger as well.

Most are atv acess as well, but some will be just afternoon hunts or you have to get in with your atv and be off of it 1/2 hr before sunrise. Just google alberta hunting regs and go through them there are a number of open zones.

Still a large number of general elk rifle and archery zones in both 6pt and 3pt. There are no general rifle moose zones left in Alberta but there are a couple general season archery zones. Best to look in the regs on the actual zone numbers.

I hunt sheep to see over the next mountain not to measure the next trophy!

yes you can buy tags over the counter or online and all crown land is open all year round... if its leased crown you need to call and ask for permission/tell the leaseholder you are going on their lease land
