Undersubscribed........gone
« on: October 27, 2016, 09:55:30 AM »
Usually I'm on top of tags but this year just haven't had time and really never bothered as there's no undersubscribed we'd be interested in this year.
This morning I'm perusing and looked out of curiosity......all gone......even the late season tags in zone's I wouldn't want to hunt in 3' of snow, Wow.

Wife figures everyone's out of work and looking to fill their freezer;  makes sense.....thoughts anyone?

The good one's always go in a blink but there's usually tags left unpurchased;  not this year.  (well, there's a few deer tags still)

Definitely a big difference this year from others was the same with walleye tags this year. People not working as much and have more time on their hands.

 I have seen way more guys walking around this year. They are even hunting on land they have no permission on. Friday caught  guys, Saturday there was seven guys we caught and it's the same old excuse, " I didn't know where we were". The one clown even shot a deer. Then one wonders why it's so hard to get permission nowadays.

People don't understand the significance of what private means. I'm not sure they mean any disgregard to land owners they just don't understand what it means when they trespass.

         The whole private land/permission thing could easily be a topic of discussion that deserves its own thread.  Seems to get worse every year and less and less people are giving out permission.  Just lost another prime Elk hunting piece this year.  Same thing as always, some idiots ruining it for everyone else.
        With some of the stuff I've seen over the years along with having conversations with landowners it won't be long and hunting on private land will be a thing of the past for the most part.  At least to folks who aren't family/good friends.  Heck it's hard enough already but I don't really blame landowners.  Never ceases to amaze me how bold or just plain ignorant some can be.

I think it's bad because more people don't come "from the land" anymore, so no understanding of the farm and land use "CODE", if you will .Also we have had a ton of people come to Alberta the last few years, and I find this province has changed with how people treat people in every day life also.
