Alberta is a mule deer hunter’s paradise! This Minister’s Special License (MSL) gives the lucky
winning bidder a world-class opportunity to take the trophy of a lifetime. In many parts of
North America, mule deer numbers are in decline, but Alberta’s populations are thriving. From
the vast northern croplands of the famed ‘Peace Country’ to the rolling grassland and coulee
habitats of southern Alberta, few places offer more diversity and opportunity to harvest a monster
mule deer.
Alberta’s genetics are among the very best in the world. In fact, the largest mule deer ever taken,
hit the snow-covered ground right here in Alberta, the “Ed Broder Buck” which scored 355
2/8-inches B&C! Annually many giant deer are still being taken in Alberta by hunters, scoring
well over 200-inches – so who knows what possibilities await you with the MSL. With recent
improvements to the Alberta MSL, this premier opportunity has now risen to the top of the
heap for auction tags across North America. Two of the key changes include the expansion to
year-round hunting, and weapon-of-choice (in compliance with Alberta’s provincial hunting
regulations). Whether the holder of this permit comes once, or multiple times, they are certain
to enjoy the hunt of a lifetime. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to pursue a true Alberta giant
in the name of conservation.
The purchaser of this license will be authorized to hunt one (1) mule deer anytime between
September 1, 2023, and August 31, 2024. This license is valid in Alberta, in any Wildlife
Management Unit where a mule deer hunting season is identified in the 2023 Alberta Guide to
Hunting Regulations. This license does not authorize hunting in any location where hunting is
prohibited as outlined in the Wildlife Regulation and the Alberta Guide to Hunting Regulations.
This license does not authorize hunting on Sunday in Wildlife Management Units where
the Sunday hunting of big game is prohibited. Funds derived from the sale of this license will be
used to supporting Alberta’s understanding of its wildlife resources, building up foundational
management data through various wildlife inventory efforts.
Conditions: The license cannot be resold or transferred. The buyer can be an Alberta resident, a
non-resident, or non-resident alien. If the license holder is a non-resident or non-resident alien,
they will be required to hire a licensed Alberta outfitter and be accompanied by a designated
guide. To find an outfitter, the purchaser should visit the APOS website at apos.ab.ca. The cost
for hiring the outfitter is not included in the sale price of the license.
Hunt Dates: September 1, 2023 – August 31, 2024
