Wow that's not cheap[:-]I really thank God I live up here and appreciate the beauty and abundance of animals near by. I really hope you guy's get the hunt of your dreams for that kind of money. I'm confident you will, as long as your outfitter is honest. I hopeyou will have some good stories and pictures. After all the Zaft buck came from the Edmonton bow zone and he's a pig!! Take lots of pictures and post them when you guy's get back! I love to look at any hunting pics.
Make sure you check the weather at environment Canada the day before you come up to give you an idea what to expect for the week.

If I can give you one tip it would be this. Depending on the stands/blinds you will be in, one sure way to keep your hands warm is get a hand warmer that wraps around your waist (like a fanny pack sort of) and put in a couple of those hot packs. After years of trying different glove combinations this works best for me, especially with the bow where big mitts are not really functional. You just need lite gloves and your hands will be toasty (as long as you have a bow holder). I would ask your guide if he can let you know exactly what your stands are like (heated or not) and if they have holders, hope this helps with your hunting experience. 2 years ago I hunted in -30C and last year it was +10C. You just never know what it will be like so get your clothing for all applications ready!!

Here's a few more to get your juices flowing!
