Reviewer Comments: Boat was base camp. I told Bruce Parker that I wanted a Billie. He assured me that after 17 years of experience he could identify a Billie from a Nanny. On the 2nd morning of a 7 day hunt he directed me to shoot a goat that he said was a Billie. It was a Nanny. I paid $11,000 for this hunt and his '09 price was going to $13,500. He offered me a new hunt in '10 for $11,000 which I refused. He then offered me a half price hunt but only if a cancellation occured wherein the hunter that cancelled had already paid a non-refundable 50% deposit. He would not give me a specific time frame as it depended on a cancellation that was 50% paid. The error was 100% his yet he would not offer a future hunt at a mutually acceptable fee.

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.
Colorado Hunting Information
Colorado is one of the best western states for trophy mule deer hunting and has the largest population of elk in the west.
