Hunt ID: 1501-CA-AL-G-L-MDeerWDeerElkBBearMooseLynxBobcatWaterfowl-M1SR-O1G-N2EGE Great Economy Deer and Moose Hunts south of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada American Hunters trekking to Canada for low cost moose, along with big Mule Deer and Whitetail and been pleasantly surprised by the weather and temperatures that they were greeted by when they hunted British Columbia, located in Canada, north of Washington State. Canada should be and is cold but there are exceptions, if you know where to go. In BC if you stay on the western Side of the Rocky Mountains the weather is quite mild because it is warmed by the Pacific Ocean. If you hunt east of the Rocky Mountains, what I call the Canadian Interior it can be as much as 50 degrees colder depending on the time of the year. The area has now preference point requirements, the Outfitter has his allotted vouchers so you can get a reasonably priced license and, in most cases, less than you can get for the same animal in the US as a non-resident. You don’t even buy the voucher from the Outfitter it is part of his hunt cost because without it you could not get a license anyway. Travel is easy and the residents are friendly. Like anywhere outside the US you will need a easy to acquire Passport if you don’t have one, just don’t wait until the last minute to get one for $10 from your local Post office by where you live. The one thing in Canada is if you have a felony on your record Canada will not allow you into their safe Country. Also do not try to take or sneak a pistol into Canada. They are great with issuing you gun permits for hunting rifle(s) which you need. You don’t need a Pistol and they won’t issue a permit. If you try to sneak one in and get caught, then that will get you in trouble. Your Gun Permit(s) you can take as many as 2 rifles on a $50 permit. There are a few limitations on type of rifles, barrel length and such which will be detailed when you mail in your requested gun permit information prior to your trip, another thing to plan early, take the rifle(s) and form with you through customs, they will charge you the $50 Us Dollars and you are in. There is no restriction on archery equipment. For Muzzleloader shooters they are easy to get into Canada. If you fly the black Powder on the plain is a problem with the American FFA. Check with the FAA for flying instruction and you should not have any problems with black powder durring your trip. In this document and all the documents provided by Discounted Hunts LLC you will find everything is US Dollars, so you don’t have to worry about the conversion to Canadian Curacy CAN Dollar. Keep in mind that the US Dollar has a higher value then the CAN Dollar, so it is all to your favor. With the above you will get in and have a great time hunting Canada. How about an easy trip to a hidden Mule Deer and Whitetail Deer Mecca where you don’t need to mess with preference point, drawing, wait and see if you have a license and all that happy Horse SHIP. You can easily get there it is just an area that has been hidden under our nose and the deer population is exploding. Welcome to the British Columbia it is a friendly country that opens it door every year to American hunters. Most hunters in the Pacific west looking for Mule deer plan on a 2-day drive from California to Colorado. This trip is half the distance and what other states can’t offer is no draw Mule Deer licenses. The weather is not like you think of Canada, it is so far south and west of the Rocky Mountain, so in October with a large concession and abundant populations of game animals, success is very high. Seasons overlap to create combination hunts with various big game animals. We have a fully equipped, private lodge to add to your great hunting experience. Hunting is done by 4x4, spot and stalk glassing large open ranges. Hunting prime rut time is excellent. You can even shoot a Mule Deer and a Whitetail deer if you want a pair. You can Hunt during the mild October weather or the November Rut which can remind you that you are in Canada. There are economy hunts and Trophy Hunts and in deer there is one of each for mule deer and whitetail. The main difference is the seasons hunted. The October season is mild, you are fed and stay in the lodge. In the mornings you may walk right out of the lodge to hunt, or ride horseback, or up in a 4- wheel drive pickup. The destination to you is where the deer are. The destination to your guided hunt is where pre-season scouting has proven that a herd of bachelor bucks has taken up residence. Many people think there is an opportunity for a non-guided hunt without meals and lodging. It is not possible because of the Canadian laws and countries layout. The outfitter has an area or a concession that he applies for or renews each year, With that concession he get an allotted number of vouchers to lightly hunt his area, that is how your license is obtained. As far as meals and lodging are concerned the population of Canada is minimal in comparison to other places that you have hunted in the US. Because of this most of the time where you hunt is far from any restaurants and even farther from any motels. You will be thank-full that your outfitter provides you with a guided, meals and lodging hunt. You would not like to drive 45 minutes to an hour to a motel and something to eat every morning and every night and was precious hours of hunting time or sleeping time that is required to be successful for your hunt. You are hunting at an altitude of only 1000 feet above sea level, so you are never out of breath. With a short swing of 40 degrees at night up to 80 degrees during the day, temperatures are very enjoyable as well. All prices are in US Dollars. Prices do not include licenses, tags, or taxes. Currently the exchange rate and the US dollar is a much better situation for the US Dollar than it is for Canada. This is a great time to hunt Canada, and even more so when you hit the deer explosion you are coming to here. Non-Resident deer license are about $250 which is a good buy in any state or country when you are on the buying end. _____________________________________________________________________________ The Economy Mule Deer Hunt is light on the pocketbook, enough that you might want to take 2 bucks. It is a 3-day hunt with an extremely high success rate. The season dates (9/10-11/30 are as generous as the amount of deer property that is available on the outfitters large concession. 1 Mule or Whitetail Buck $ 3000 Discounted Down to only.………………………………………$1995 1 more Mule Deer or Whitetail Buck $ 3000 Discounted Down to only …….………………$ 695 Usually this type of price you can only get 1 buck but here is two, but he books up fast. This is a great hunt for beginner youth hunters. With large deer populations success is 100%. Hunting before general hunting season allows youth hunters opportunities at un-spooked deer. Being able to take your time allows first-timers a good, easy shot. This helps build confidence for future hunts. This is a great hunt for beginner hunters.

    Brown Bear (Ursus Arctos) John Schoen and Scott Gende Images by John Schoen

    Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) John Schoen and Scott Gende images by John Schoen Two hundred years ago, brown (also known as grizzly) bears were abundant and widely distributed across western North America from the Mississippi River to the Pacific and from northern Mexico to the Arctic (Trevino and Jonkel 1986). Following settlement of the west, brown bear populations south of Canada declined significantly and now occupy only a fraction of their original range, where the brown bear has been listed as threatened since 1975 (Servheen 1989, 1990). Today, Alaska remains the last stronghold in North America for this adaptable, large omnivore (Miller and Schoen 1999) (Fig 1). Brown bears are indigenous to Southeastern Alaska (Southeast), and on the northern islands they occur in some of the highest-density FIG 1. Brown bears occur throughout much of southern populations on earth (Schoen and Beier 1990, Miller et coastal Alaska where they are closely associated with salmon spawning streams. Although brown bears and grizzly bears al. 1997). are the same species, northern and interior populations are The brown bear in Southeast is highly valued by commonly called grizzlies while southern coastal populations big game hunters, bear viewers, and general wildlife are referred to as brown bears. Because of the availability of abundant, high-quality food (e.g. salmon), brown bears enthusiasts. Hiking up a fish stream on the northern are generally much larger, occur at high densities, and have islands of Admiralty, Baranof, or Chichagof during late smaller home ranges than grizzly bears. summer reveals a network of deeply rutted bear trails winding through tunnels of devil’s club (Oplopanx (Klein 1965, MacDonald and Cook 1999) (Fig 2).

Jamin is an Alaska-based nature photographer who specializes in hunting Alaska’s diverse avifauna through the lens of his camera. Ring-necked ducks breed throughout much of Alaska and often congregate into large flocks during fall migration. Unlike most other diving ducks, ring-necked ducks are frequently found in relatively small, shallow ponds and wetlands. The appropriateness of the bird’s common name (and scientific name “collaris”) is often questioned because, in the field, the neck ring is rarely visible. However, in hand it becomes obvious that males of the species do exhibit a chestnut-colored collar at the base of the neck. Despite their name, the species is more easily identified based on their pointed head shape and white ring around the bill. The State of Alaska is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Contact [email protected] for alternative formats of this publication. 2 LICENSE AND STAMP REQUIREMENTS Resident Hunters All Alaska residents age 18 or older must possess a hunting license to hunt in Alaska and must carry it while hunting. Resident hunters 60 years old or older may obtain a free, permanent identification card issued by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). This card replaces the sport fishing, hunting, and trapping licenses. Disabled veterans qualified under AS 16.05.341 may receive a free hunting license.

By the early 1900s, the bear population was estimated at ,12 individuals, and Mississippi closed black bear hunting in 1932. However, habitat loss continued and by 1980 suitable habitat was estimated at 20% (20,234 km2) of historic levels (101,171 km2) with the decline continuing. Although black bear abundance is currently unknown, a recent increase in occurrence reports and documented reproduction suggests the population may be increasing. There have been 21 reported nuisance complaints since 2006, of which 7 were apiary damage. Additionally, 31 bear mortalities were reported since 1972; 80% were human caused. Government and private organizations have emphasized education on bear ecology and human–bear coexistence, while habitat restoration through land retirement programs (e.g.,
