The Alberta Minister’s Special Licence Auction (MSLA) permits are premier opportunities that allow the buyer to hunt at the best possible times with their choice of weapon, anywhere in Alberta where a season for that species exists. MSLA permits can be purchased by a non-resident or Alberta resident, but a non-resident is required to use the services of an outfitter.
