For Bow Hunting that starts the end of August I mostly hunt some private land (approx 4 quarters) that borders up to Crown (government land) on 3 sides. Last year I messed up on a rather large buck in the 180 class and took a 125 there in stead........ slap, slap,slap! I feel better now.
Then on Sept 17 th or a week sooner usually finds me in Elk camp for 10 days in the Rocky Mountians of Alberta and as I will have a mitt full of tags I am also looking for Mulies and Whities along with bear and sometimes moose (pending on the draws for moose). I shot a white wolf there 3 years ago.
The rut in late November will find me in a bush camp looking for deer and Moose/Elk for another 10 days or so and the rest of the time will see me on some private land (like that above) that only I have permission on.
Last year was great because last year we got drawn for Camp Wainwright Deer (an army base) that has a special 3 day hunt in Dec that allows an additional 2 deer either species.
After all this is done it normally takes me about 3 weeks to shop for that special Xmas gift for my loving wife that ensures that can repeat it next year.
