Need advice please
« on: November 13, 2014, 07:01:48 PM »
This is my first year hunting Whitetail. I have been mostly a predator and bird hunter. I live in Chestermere Ab and would like to know if someone can recommend a close area (Strathmore, Carseland etc) to seek whitetail. I would obviously seek permission and respect the landowners wishes, but I am looking for a starting point , area to get going.
Thank you.

Hi newbyglenn. Check the Alberta conservation association website for the discover guide. It lists all of the habitat properties that are open for hunting across Alberta. There are likely some in your area. Good luck getting your white-tail!

WT are pretty much everywhere in the province there's food and cover.  I'd suggest just pick a wmu, get yourself a county map and put some miles on spotting likely area's, track down and talk to the landowner.  You'll find places to hunt.  Just have to put in the effort.

I have never hunted the Carseland area but I certainly see quite a few whitetails on both sides of the river when I drive through there on Highway 24.  Start knocking on doors for access and I am sure you will find a few.
