• Wildlife have adapted and migrated to areas that are non-hunting zones and/or certain small acreage landowners do not allow hunters.

That ABP petition the Alberta Government to extend ABP by-law 11.8 to allow landowners alternative seasons or methodology to cull wildlife on pasture for winter grazing, swath grazing, and haystack yards outside of the already posted hunting seasons and during non daylight hours.
