Elk hunt 2011
My timing on booking this hunt was not the best. I chose a time when we had a full moon for almost the entire duration of my hunt. That on top of the extremely hot temps that we encountered made this into a pretty difficult hunt. We had unseasonably hot weather that had temps into the upper 80's during the days. All of this lead to very quiet bulls with not allot of action. I can't say enough for my guide "Jordie" who had a very positive attitude in some difficult conditions. We ended up logging lots of miles by horse and by foot trying to find a legal Bull (6 point min area.), and were not having much luck in these conditions. On the last night before the end of the hunt I was ready to give in and start the 35+ hour drive back home and I was encouraged by the guides to stay and give the last half day a good shot. I did so and literally in the last minutes of my hunt we connected with a nice 6x6 Bull. Without the encouragement and efforts of my guide all week I would have left (and still felt it was a good hunt, full of memories). I am glad I stayed and finished the hunt. During this trip we saw lots of other speices including Mt.goat, Grizzly Bear, Black bear, Mule deer, and whitetails. It was a difficult hunt based on the poor planning on my part, and I was very happy with the outfitter and guides and am considering a mt. goat hunt with them in the future. I ranked them at 4 stars even with the hard conditions that I encountered during this hunt, we did not see tons of legal animals, only the one that I took home to be exact. I feel that my experience was due to my timing and that the outfitter and guides did everything to make this trip as good as possible, under the right conditions this would be an excellent hunt (as mine was, just maybe a bit better with more action)

Ontario Hunting Information
Ontario is often considered a sportsman's paradise. This large province contains huge sections of wilderness, filled with thousands of lakes that provide excellent habitat for Canada moose and black bear. Excellent fishing for walleye, northern pike, muskie, smallmouth bass and other species can often be combined with a hunt. From spike camps to 5-star lodges, there are lodges, guides and outfitters for every adventure and every taste.
Alberta Hunting Information
Alberta is a large, diverse province with rolling prairies, farmland, river bottoms, Boreal forests, and large expanses of the northern Rocky Mountains. Many species of big game, waterfowl, upland game and predators inhabit Alberta. Long known for monster whitetails, Alberta also is home to big mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, black bear, cougar, Canada moose, and bighorn sheep. In fact, 7 of the 10 largest bighorn sheep in Boone and Crockett record book are from Alberta. In addition to big game, Alberta offers some top notch bird hunting. Serious waterfowlers know about the large flocks of ducks and geese that call Alberta home or migrate through.
Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
