Allowable bag limits

[338 Mag]

I'm going elk hunting in alberta and wondered if by purchasing an alberta hunting license and elk tag and filling it,does this eliminate my opertunity in BC or can a person also harvest an animal here ...... Not sure

Each province has its own bag limits. Wild game is provincially regulated not federally

Thanks for your reply, so i take that as i could take one bull in alberta as three point or better are open there. And 1 in BC as its three or better and cows in an open area.

There are Regional Bag Limits, and Provincial Bag Limits. No such thing as Federal Bag Limits.

The only interprovincial "Bag Limit" is one Resident Licence per year.

The only interprovincial "Bag Limit" is one Resident Licence per year.

I was thinking that as well.

2 elk sounds like a lot of meat and luck but go for it..

hope you have the freezer space.

As others have said...you can't hunt as an Alberta resident and BC resident..would get you suspended in both provinces....so make sure one lic. is non-resident

What about a leap year? To qualify as a resident you are supposed to live in a province for 6 months plus a day (183 days). In a leap year there are 366 days, so technically you could live in BC and Alberta for 183 days each...

The first 6 months of the year are normally 181 days, in a leap year 182. I can't see how 6 months plus a day times by 2 is possible.

Now if you are RCMP or Military I think it is possible to be a resident in 2 provinces in a year.
