Landowner Hunting Permission

[RussAlexander21]

Apologies if this has already been answered on here. I tried getting an answer on Google but more generic land permission answers are all I could find…

Does anyone know if land owners are legally able give their “land owner” rights to individuals with permission to hunt on their property? For example, if a farmer wants a cougar off their property but does not want to hunt himself, is he able to let a hunter on his land outside of the general season to hunt that cougar? Or is it only the person whose name is literally on the paperwork for owning that property that is legally allowed to hunt out of season for cougar.

Thank you in advance to anyone who points me in the right direction

Right from the regulations, owner or occupant only.
Cougar
Any person who is the owner or occupant of privately owned land may at any time of year, hunt (but not trap) cougar on such lands without a licence. Hunting with dogs is prohibited under this authority. Under this authority, registration is required within one week of the kill by bringing the skin and skull (or intact carcass) to a Fish and Wildlife office. A premolar tooth will be retained for aging.
