The local county offices will have current landowner maps for a nominal fee. I suspect your friends will get to know quite a few farmers/ranchers in the area since you mentioned that they are veterinarians.

I live a couple hours north of Stettler. That area will be mostly mule deer (on draw for antlered and antlerless). There will be some whitetail (either sex OTC) to the north and antelope if you go south a bit. Antelope are draw as well and require a really high priority for Alberta residents. I'm not sure if tags are available for non-residents. There may be some moose in the area, but limited tags on draw. Elk are in the suffield military base south of Stettler.

Good populations of pheasant and Hungarian partridge around there. Might find some sharp tails too.
