Alberta Map with mission ideas

[past wedge]

An Alberta Canada themed map covering mountains, lakes, forest, muskeg and grasslands with a bit of the Drumheller desert type biome in it featuring northern lights and for animals - moose, white tailed deer, elk, mule deer, caribou, grizzly bear, black bear, cougar, big horn sheep, mountain goats, wolves, wolverine, prairie dogs, coyotes, bobcats, beaver, Canada goose, snow geese, feral wild boar, wild turkeys, rabbits, grouse, grey partridge, pheasants foxes, ducks, and bison (now have been successfully reintroduced
to Banff national park)

• Missions could feature doping surveying for an oil field site
• bigfoot sighting (look up Alberta Sasquatch on google, click the various links)
• special traditional hunts carries out by the indigenous natives each year for elk etc. down with bows
• missions where grizzlies or black bears need to be tranquilized so they can be relocated as in a bear who got used to finding food at campsites or cougars that were bothering fly fisherman
• feral wild boar missions as there is a 75 dollar bounty one set of their ears here, maybe make them extremely rare as in no home zone, just travelling the plains and boreal forests at random and a very limited amount , say maybe 25 -30 on a map at any given time as they are here but super rare to come across
• a mission involving seeing the northern lights as they are quite popular in Alberta, look up Alberta Auraria chasers
• maybe have a few old oil lease sites with pump jacks etc. (no negative oil references to Alberta though please )
• maybe some missions relating to peaching in Alberta, of grizzly bears mad bighorn sheep etc. for their horns
• and some missions celebrating the indigenous people.pf the region, maybe as them being able to give help

Yes Bison have been successfully reintroduced to Banff National Park but that does not mean there is a season for them, heck the wood bison hunts in Hay Zama Wildland is a lottery hunt (And even the bison that can be hunted without a tag live in very remote boreal forest west of Wood Buffalo National Park). Also caribou hunting is illegal in Alberta and so is grizzly bear hunting. As for Mountain Goat only a handful of hunters successfully bagged on due to 2 factors: Less then 10 tags a year (And if I recall correctly its a once in a lifetime tag) and limited areas to hunt them in (Most mountain goats hunted in Canada are taken in British Columbia, followed by the Yukon Territory). As for Wolverine, less then 70 are trapped every year in Alberta (not hunted), and if they do get added to the game, it will be with a reserve set either in the Canadian Arctic or British Columbia (with potential backfills to Medved and Yukon Valley (Alaska))

I love Alberta so I mean no offense when I say this, but British Columbia would be a far more interesting and unique Canadian map with far more potential.

As a resident of Alberta I take no offense to that statement, though it (Along with Saskatchewan and Manitoba) could make a very decent goose focused reserve with some sandhill cranes, mule deer (white-tailed deer in Manitoba) and coyote plus depending on the province we could get either a second Rocky Mountain Elk reserve or Manitoban Elk (Could also fit in some sharptail grouse too)

That's fair, and having it be a good goose hunting reserve would be neat, sort of like a North American version of Revontuli Coast. I would like a map like that. It's not as high on my list as the Arctic or British Columbia, but it would still be an interesting Canadian reserve.

Part of the reason I mention geese is because a lot of American Hunters visit the 3 Prairie Provinces just to go Goose Hunting

[round geyser]

What particular goose species are commonly hunted in those provinces?

[clever harbor]

Canada Goose, Cackling Goose (They used to be considered a subspecies of the Canada), White-fronted Goose, Snow Goose and Ross Goose

Interesting, good to know!
