Reviewer Comments: Where to begin?...my whitetail hunt was sold to me as a "cancellation" hunt. Turned out to be simply an unsold hunt because the operation is primarily geared toward mule deer, in mainly mule deer country (one of the other guides told me that the outfitter was considering changing the whitetail hunts to simple "throw-ins" on the high-priced mulie hunts). My "guide" had just been plucked from the oil fields (once I had bought the hunt) and had a grand total of one week of experience...and it showed. He didn't know, or care, about game and hunting regs (basic things like legal shooting hours and rifle magazine capacity), and tried to talk me into having a loaded gun while driving in the truck. He even fell asleep in the blind/stand during every single sitting. Blind/stand locations did not appear to be scouted in any meaningful way and were simply located based on good visibility. Admittedly, the weather was very mild and the bucks weren't moving much, so my guide decided we should resort to the favorite local "hunting" technique and spend the bulk of each day driving around IN THE FIELDS, trying to use the truck to flush deer out of the bits of brush in the middle of the fields, for me to presumably (it never worked) jump out and blast away at a fleeing deer hell bent for next week. But the worst offense of all was when my guide and another guide used two trucks to chase a buck, at very high speed, across a field, so close on its heels that one of the trucks almost ran the buck over. In the end, a friend of the other guide shot the buck out of the front seat of a third truck (another preferred local "hunting" technique, and one that my guide proudly professed his experience at doing).

Illinois Hunting Information
Illinois is widely known as a top trophy whitetail destination. Illinois also has some great waterfowl hunting, especially in southern portions of the state.
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.
Iowa Hunting Information
Iowa is one of the best Midwestern states for monster whitetail bucks. Non-residents must apply for a tag in their annual drawing. Archery tags are the most sought after and depending on what units you apply for generally take 2-4 years to draw.
