I hunted the Edmonton Bow Zone in '05 and '06, I'll be thereagain in Nov '07.

I got a HUGE bodied 8pt at 19yrds this past season.

It's usually very cold and snow is anyones guess anymore. In '05 we didn't have snow but this past Nov we sure did, around a foot of it. I had perfect conditions, justperfect.
An Alberta bowhunt (Nov) isn't for the squeamish.
