Texting and Driving – dangerous and it’s against the law.
By Lori Larsen
Cooler temperatures, leaves turning colour and the sound of geese flying overhead are all indications of autumn and the onset of hunting season.
In an effort to promote the sport of ethical hunting and fishing, the 2020 Waterfowl Warm-up event was held on Aug. 20 in Tofield at Beaverhills Sporting Clays, hosted by the Alberta Conservation Association.
The event brought together hunting enthusiasts and wildlife management stakeholders for a fun-filled day of competition and an opportunity to promote and educate the long-standing sport of hunting.
This year’s event also provided an opportunity to promote Alberta’s new sandhill crane hunt, which began on Sept. 1 in more than 50 Wildlife Management Units (WMU) in southern and east central Alberta. The hunt will run concurrently with Alberta’s waterfowl season.
Present for the event was Province of Alberta minister of environment and parks Jason Nixon and Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely.
and County) exploring recreational activities closer to home, 2020 is bound to be a busy year.
Hunters and trappers are advised to check with the recently updated Alberta Wildlife Act (Wildlife Regulation) or the 2020 Alberta Guide to Hunting Regulations at albertaregulations.ca/huntingregs/ to ensure they are in compliance with laws and regulations intended to manage and conserve wildlife and protect the rights of property owners.
Fishing is another favourite pastime of many Albertans and guests to the province and seems to be gaining in popularity.
So far, 2020 has seen an increase in fishing licence sales of roughly 30 per cent over the previous year.
With recent investments in Alberta’s four fish hatcheries totalling more than $40 million, fishing in Alberta will soon be supported by an even larger and more diverse provincial stocking program, which should result in even more fishing opportunities, and the spin-off economic benefits they provide, while assisting in the recovery of species at risk.
All the ducks in a row

Back to school this year has taken on an entirely different look as teachers and staff escort students in small groups back into the classroom. Donning masks and keeping two metres apart, students seemed to be quite excited to get back into the school and resume some degree of normalcy, while anxious parents did their part by remaining outside the fenced compound and waving from a distance. Photo taken outside the perimeter of school grounds.

Camrose and District Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch District Officer Lorne Rinkel prepares for a busy season of hunting.
The Waterfowl Warmup gave Minister Nixon an opportunity to sit down for conversation with representatives of the Alberta Conservation Association and Alberta Professional Outfitters Society.
Alberta’s 10-year resident hunting license sales average has been positive, going from approximately 115,000 to 122,000, with a peak of 128,000 in 2015. Hunting license sales in 2019 were over 122,000.
Camrose and area is no exception for hunting enthusiasts and with the recent opening of archery for big game and waterfowl hunting season (Sept. 1) on Camrose wildlife management units, and with many residents (City
An increase of interest in both hunting and fishing brings with it an increase in desire to access private land. Anyone wishing to access private land, whether that be for hunting, fishing, trapping, guiding or other recreational activity, are reminded that they must first obtain permission from landowners and or representatives thereof, prior to gaining access.

I had a date last night. I really enjoyed it. So tonight I’m going to try a fi g. Wife: “Can you stop yawning when I’m talking to you?” Husband: “I’m not yawning. I’m trying to say something.” I say we remove the sculpture “The Thinker”. It’s offensive to all the people who don’t think. Welcome to Alberta! Winter is at 6 a.m. Spring starts at 10 a.m. Summer is at 2 p.m. and fall starts around 4:30ish. Dress accordingly. English is a difficult language, though it can be understood through tough, thorough thought. I tripped over my wife’s bra. It appeared to be a booby trap. Who is Pete and why do we keep doing things for his sake? One of the best things about raising teenagers is that you always have someone around who knows EVERYTHING. It’s just so convenient. BREAKING NEWS: Huge fi re on Calgary golf course, there’s Flames everywhere!!! I got pulled over by the police today. I was apparently his fi rst speeder, because when he got to my window, he said, “I’ve been waiting all day for you.” I said, “I got here as fast as I could.” He let me go. Do you ever forget to hide your expressions for a minute and then you’re like, “Woah, I did not mean to make that face out loud!” For my birthday, my children gave me an alarm clock that swears at me instead of buzzing. It is quite a rude awakening. I remember as a kid my dad got fi red for theft from his job as a road worker. I refused to believe he could do such a thing, but when I got home, the signs were all there. Parents live for the tiny vacations from their toddlers. Like when you put your kids in their car seat and you close their door. And that little walk around to your own door … it’s like a Carnival Cruise! Now they’re saying if you’ve survived COVID, the government wants your plasma. No sir, they ain’t takin’ my TV! Do not let them take your temperature on your forehead when you enter Camrose Safeway. My wife sent me in for lettuce and apples and I came out with six T-bone steaks, four bags of potato chips and 4 litres of butterscotch ripple ice cream. I wish my siblings would stop calling me spoiled just because I’m the baby of the family. The fact is, my parents kept having children until they found one they liked. It is SO not my issue. I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes … then she hugged me.
