Thanks for the replies, everyone. They are very, very appreciated. My friends (and I!) are extremely excited after reading your responses. They fly into Calgary tomorrow then will move on to Stettler next week, and I hope to visit in late September/early October for some waterfowling.
I'm going to now read the pinned thread at the top about hunting in Canada and will do some research.
Thanks again.
Edit: Preliminary research completed. Looks like I need a WIN # (already got one online) and a 6 day gamebird license. As a non-resident alien I will need to either get a guide or a hunter host to hunt big game, but waterfowl does not require either. My friends will also be non-resident aliens as they will not have lived in Alberta for 12 months by the time hunting season starts.
The season runs from September - December (depending on WMU). Stettler is in 206.
Next thing to research: taking guns across the border.
