"The full moon in July (happening right now) is known as the Buck Moon 🦌🌕.

"The name comes from the time of year when male deer begin growing a fresh set of antlers, a seasonal sign that's been recognized for generations"

Look up tonight! 🌕

In the morning of July 29th, the full Moon reaches its peak, but it'll look just as bright after sunset tonight.

July's full Moon is known as the Buck Moon. 🦌 The name comes from the time of year when male deer begin growing a fresh set of antlers, a seasonal sign that's been recognized for generations.

Regulations and Choices—Discover Alberta's Hunting Opportunities.
This article will help you navigate the regulations more easily: https://www.harvestyourown.ca/articles/regulations-and-choices-discover-albertas-hunting-opportunities/

The Alberta Guide to Hunting Regulations can seem overwhelming the first time you open it. 📖

There are Wildlife Management Units (WMUs), season dates, weapon restrictions, license requirements, maps, and pages of tables that can make even experienced hunters pause.

The good news is that once you understand how the guide is organized, it becomes one of the best tools available for finding new places to hunt and extending your time in the field.

General Licenses Offer Incredible Opportunity. 🏷️
Alberta offers many general hunting licenses that can be purchased each season and used in the WMUs listed in the regulations. Depending on the species and location, these licenses provide excellent hunting opportunities without waiting for a draw.

Archery Opens Even More Doors. 🎯
While r***e opportunities may be limited by draws, many WMUs allow archery hunters to pursue antlered or antlerless mule deer with a general license.
Some archery seasons begin as early as August 25, giving hunters a chance to enjoy warm weather, active wildlife, and less hunting pressure before the busy fall seasons begin.

Early Seasons Can Extend Your Hunting Year. 📅
Some WMUs open for r***e hunting of white-tailed deer on September 1, allowing hunters to begin their season well before the fall rush. Early season hunting offers comfortable temperatures, active game, and a chance to fill the freezer before other seasons overlap.
