The Government of Alberta is presenting a quota hunt for antlerless white-tailed and mule deer in response to concerns about large deer populations that pose a problem for local agricultural producers by eating stored hay and livestock feed. The quota hunt is from February 4 - March 4, 2007, in part of WMU 526, near Bear Canyon.

Bear Canyon is about 90 km northwest of Fairview. The west edge of the quota hunt area is about 1.6 km from Alberta's border with British Columbia. All hunters must obtain permission when hunting on private land or on leases.

The 150 hunting licences available are limited to Alberta residents. Each licence will allow a hunter to harvest four antlerless white-tailed or mule deer. Licences cost $9 plus GST and sales begin February 1 at the 450 private licence issuers located throughout the province.

New State Record Alligator for Georgia
I tell ya'll it was the fight of the century. We had been hunting since right after dark. Saw less than a dozen Gators. Most of them were this year's model or last year's. Nothing legal at all. Spotted 2 at about 500 yards that appeared to be legal so we start easing up on them and they just dropped on us. Very skittish. I forgot my rod with 100 lb test line and a 12/0 treble hook, so we let them stay where they were and went on looking.
