Hi, I'm from the UK and am interested in buying a small wilderness property for getaways and hunting in the next year or two. You guys got any ideas? I have spent some time in Alberta and BC and love the west but may consider Nova Scotia or Newfoundland due to the closer proximity.

Property is cheaper on the East coast than in Alberta.

Then there's the residency thing, non-residents can get fishing liscences but to hunt even if you have property here you'll need a hunter-host to get a liscence. You could always buy out an outfitter and use his allocations for your personal hunting. In that case you still need a local "manager" to act as the owner and say he owns the concession. It's lying and deception but happens a lot more than people think.

Buying out a concession is a lot of money depending on the game allocations.

MattMck,

If you are interested in hunting upland birds and waterfowl, you can do that on your own in some places. A search might dig out some more specific info. I seem to recall a similar thread a year or so ago that generated some good info.

Good luck,
Dean

Thanks for the info guys.
Matt

Good luck, Matt.

Be great to hear any advice,

You could check out

However whereever you might buy a place check the regulations. Just owning land may not give you the legal right to hunt.
