You mean Item 51

Bone it out, boil the skull and bring it home.

I believe 51 would only apply if you intend to use the antlers for rattling or should blade for raking.

You'll also need a permit to export from Alberta.

Alberta has a regulation that allows the hunting licence and tag to be used as the export permit.

I had to go to a government office and fill out a form that allowed me to transport my elk a few years ago. Have the rules changed? I haven't hunted in Alberta since then.

The regs must have changed, right?


This has been the rule for quite a few years....
