Would I be better off hunting in Canada?
Define better off. I'm pretty certain all Canadian provinces require guides for non-resident aliens. Guides mean higher prices. It's all relative to what you want and what your budget is. Hunting Alaska is very doable it's just much much harder than most people realize. People tend to think Alaska is awash in game animals when the reality is most of the state is effectively devoid of life due to the harsh environments. What it takes to hunt effectively here is just a lot more than most people can handle. Not trying to rain on your parade, just being honest.
