Hiawatha, outfitting has been regulated to forest areas for some time to prevent rouge outfitting(what you are wanting to do). The forest fringe areas which include farmland are in the grandfather clause meaning prior to the regulation of the outfitting business certain areas backing, adjoining or along crownland may have been part of the original lease for the outfitting business or area. It was done largerly by the government and the SOA which was to prevent rogue, saturization(now remember outfitting wasn't as big back then, so they were worried that nobody would be able to turn a profit) and of course the government wanted a piece of the pie. Now that outfitting is a big as it is, the SOA members are greedy and want to make as much as they can, so unfortunately until they open up more of the province it will never happen my friend. It may not be fair but being regulated it does promote a equal opportunity in some regards. Think if every person who owned land outfitted or leased it for outfitting what would that do to the business and the resident hunters? As with any business they require investment and people who bought earlier are looking for return, else why invest? Some make peanunts others make mountains, may seem unfair but it is nature of the beast. If the area is for sale and you think it can generate revenue then why would you not with your area knowledge jump at the chance. BTW 200K cdn. for an established camp is not outrageous. How many tags are they allocated for the area? Need a partner???

Elk can only be hunted by resident hunters as you know, but you might consider offering a lease for a crew to establish a camp on your land and gain access, this is ligit (you sell them or lease them a small portion of the land for their camp) and I think you'd find many interested if they had sole access to some outstanding elk land in the regular season.

To my knowledge waterfowl have not been regulated yet, as this year at the SOA Convention it was the hot topic with outfitters.

Best of Luck!
