Albertans hunting bc

[1 shot 1 kill]

Back from our alaska hwy trip..14days on the rd..
Did see allot of AB plated vehicles and Atvs out hunting..didnt see any bc plates with them as guides
Just curious if anyone else noticed this?
Did bring it to the attention of conservation as 4 of these AB did tell me they dont need guides they hunt here every yr.

Maybe they are working

Hmmm Alberta can hunt certain species with a BC RESIDENT permit to accompany.

I believe bc has a hunter host program.

Maybe they are working

Yes lots of pipeline work happening.

Most will be working in the patch and do carry a rifle around while "working'....they seem to think that since they work here, buy gas and food here they are entitled to our game as well. With only 4 CO's for the area, they play the game and if they get away with it........

But lots of red/white plates are just working up here..... but not paying any income tax......and cheaper insurance.....

Slippery slope here to complain about boys.

How many of us apply for hunts in Alberta and happily go if drawn???? I much prefer to see Ab plates than US plates driving around with the "guide" riding shotgun in the pickup. See the Washington type plates often on the lower end southern bc hunts for deer, bear, moose.

Could be workers..dressed in camo carrying rifles and knives..sitting in alder meadows..
Seemed funny to see so many up there? Maybe its been that way for awhile im not sure..
Camp down from all was all AB and clearly hunting,

Possibly BC boys who work in Alberta and live in BC. Company truck? or just insured out of Alberta?!? Reminds me of the hockey player who didn't realize living out of province during the season basically revoked his residency here because he was away more than is allowed. Either way the CO's are aware and can check their licences so you've done your part.

Almost all companies up here insure through their AB offices. Upgrading and re-routing pipelines right now - super busy, use your radios!!!
