According to Section 38 of the Wildlife Act occupied land is defined as (a)privately owned lands under cultivation or enclosed by a fence of any kind and not exceeding one section in area on which the owner or occupant actually resides, and (b)any other privately owned land that is within 1.6 km (1 mile) of the section referred to in clause (a) and that is owned or leased by the same owner or occupant. “You must contact the lease holder to get permission to be on the land.” As well, occupied lands do not need to be posted with No Trespassing signs. Rinkel recommended all hunters carry land ownership maps available from the MD that contain landowner contact information, or download one of the APPS now available that show all the landowner designations and in many cases phone numbers. “Lease holders are required by law to advertise phone numbers,” said Rinkel. “And there is a government website (aep. alberta.ca under the Recreation and Public Use header)with information about accessing lease land including landowners and contact information.” On a final note, Rinkel advised landowners that guides and outfitters are required by law under the Wildlife Act to tell private landowners they are a guide or outfitter and they are conducting a business and charging a fee to clients. “They have to be very clear about that so landowners understand it is a commercial outfit and that they have paying clients. Misrepresentation by commercial operations is something we spend a lot of time dealing with.” Hunting is a privilege granted to residents that in many cases affords them an opportunity to provide sustenance but is also a regulated way to control the population of wildlife, that may otherwise become a nuisance by sheer number alone. But those privileges can be lost by making poor decisions. “Do your research before you go out hunting and always get permission before hunting on any private or public (leased) land.”
