Most of the rednecks on here don't understand that Canadian laws differ from American laws. And you'd BETTER ask. I hear Canadian jails and fines are a lot like American ones.
I used to live in Albta. No freakin way can you shoot one or any.
If you want one bad, it's winter, food is scarce, and if it's real cold,
drive the field's at dusk, look for the snow's or the great horn's on the hay bale's.
drive back the next day, you might get lucky and find the bugger frozen
to death. Then he is legal. I got lot's that way, sound's stupid, but it
work's.
I also live in alberta. What you need to do is watch for freshly roadkilled owls or electrocuted ones. All raptors are protected in alberta and reqiire a found dead wildlife permit which is easily obtained by taking the bird to your local F&W, they will examine the bird determine cause of death to rule out foul play and issue a permit. Some rules to remember are 1. YOU must find the bird yourself. 2. It must be turned in as SOON as possible 3. Time date and location of the find must be reported. 4. If for some reason you decide to get rid of the bird it and the permit must be turned in to the F&W. 5. The permit is yours and is not transferable.
Sounds like a pain but it is not htat bad and dead birds are not as hard to come by as you might expect. I personaly have 2 great horned owls, 1 juvenile great horned owl, 1 Great gray owl, 1 red tailed hawk, and a saw whet owl. that I have picked up over the last 10 years. It is however almost impossible to get a permit for an eagle, these are given to the natives for use in their cerimonies.
WWhy not just lay in the snow with a mouse on your chest and when the owl comes after it club it with a wet noodle?
Good luck
