I am a US citizen, and aware I will need a guide. Blinds or tree stand is just fine for me. I have never done a Canadian hunt before...just hunted in the Midwest USA. I am a few years out and I know the outfitters are booked pretty solid 1-2 years down the road. The cold doesn't bother me, as I prefer the cold over the heat. I fully expect to be around $6000 for a 5-6 day hunt, with prices going up every year....plus shipping/tips on the back end.
