The pelt of an Alberta wolf, taken in its winter prime, is a beautiful reminder of a great hunt for this shy and rarely seen trophy. Some outfitters offer winter wolf hunts, when the pelts are at their best, and no other hunting seasons are open. Baiting wolves is legal and effective. Wolves in hearing range of a predator call will often respond, and can be lured in close. Alberta's coyotes offer great opportunities for both the long-range varmint shooter and the predator caller.
Coyotes are abundant in the province, especially in the prairie, parkland and foothills regions.
There is no limit on coyotes in Alberta and pelts taken during the winter prime season are thick and well furred. In general, coyotes may be hunted year round on private lands and from Oct. 1 until Feb. 28 on public lands. During open big game seasons however, the coyote hunter must possess a big game license valid for that open season and management unit. Free ranging wild bison are one of North America's most unique and impressive trophies. Alberta offers one of the very few opportunities to hunt these magnificent animals in a truly fair chase situation.
