Hunting is a treasured part of Alberta’s heritage, bringing families together and connecting us with nature. As we approach this year’s Provincial Hunting Day, it’s a wonderful chance to introduce the next generation to the joys of hunting.

If you're between 10 and 17 and have completed the Alberta Conservation and Hunter Education course, you can hunt upland game birds without a provincial Game Bird Licence — all with the supervision of a parent or guardian! This is not only a fantastic way to learn about hunting safely but also an opportunity to bond with loved ones as you explore the great outdoors.

Mentorship plays a crucial role in fostering responsible hunters, and I encourage everyone to share their knowledge and passion for the outdoors. Let’s make this day a celebration of our traditions while ensuring we protect our hunting rights against federal overreach.

Don't forget to check the updated hunting regulations to stay informed and prepared. Let's preserve Alberta's beautiful landscapes for generations to come while celebrating our wonderful hunting culture!
