Hunters are Gamechangers

When you commit to the preparation, patience, and follow-through of a hunt, you naturally become Alberta's eyes on the ground. In fact, you can provide key data that can be used for wildlife management by simply sharing what you see. We need your help!

ABHuntLog is your opportunity to help wildlife biologists by logging your own wildlife observations.

Welcome to ABHuntLog

Through this easy-to-use feature in the iHunter app, hunters and recreationists can shed light on population trends for a wide range of harvestable species—supplementing what is learned from aerial surveys that happen only every few years in each Wildlife Management Unit (WMU). 

Joining ABHuntLog is completely voluntary, and your data are confidential. We don’t ask for your name or exact locations, and all data will be aggregated at the WMU level. You can easily turn off GPS tracking.

Capturing key information from the field also helps estimate the economic value of outdoor recreational activities and the economic impact of policy changes.

There's major benefit for you too! Your ABHuntLog dashboard is an ideal personal log to help you with harvest reporting at the end of the season, and it can help you to plan future hunts and draws!
