Watch out! I hired an outfitter in Alberta once but never again! The 2nd & last time i hired an outfitter was in Quebec for a winter Caribou hunt, I never saw him & barely got my 2 Bou. Do your homework to get a good outfitter, I did and got terrible service twice. I can't believe that experienced US hunters are forced to hire a guide in Canada, yet Canadians can hunt in the US without a guide!
