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.

Thanks for the info,any idea of the WMU number.Are these areas open to ATVs or restricted to non motorized modes of travel.Thanks for your help.

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.

there are alot of zones west of edmonton open to antlered elk. Also if your a bowhunter there you can buy a general tag and hunt alot of zones out west and up north as well for moose

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.

Thanks for the reply,can you buy an over the counter tag and is there any crown land open.Also do you know the WMU number?

wildmeat · « **Reply #11 on:** June 14, 2012, 07:05:35 PM »

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
