RE: Pictures from My 04 Alberta Deer Hunt.
Neb although there are no guarntee's I would say you would have a well above average chance of taking a 140 class buck on Don's property. As for what you can expect on the first hunt ...you will most likely have to buy some extra gear for thier extreamly cold weather ..like good pack boots ..wool socks ..just warm stuff in general ..although Dons does furnish gas heaters in his tent blinds that will help some. You will also be fed REAL well ...stay in Dons nice new home...I am not sure where you are from but you will most likely see some of the most beautiful hunting country you have EVER seen!I found the biggest hassle is just going through Customs when you arrive with your rifle and when you leave with your trophy ..you will have to stand in line for awhile as they check serial numbers on the rifles and also open your trophy crate to inspect your kill ... I almost missed my flight home last year because of Customs and I got there at 5.30 am..so nowI leave mine in Edmonton with a taxidermist there and he has it shipped to me when it is ready ..cost a little more then the local guys BUT the work is SUPER and you do not have to pay a $50.00 rack fee when leaving...I think allin all its about the same and you get much better work IMO on your mount.

With hunting, a true hunter never has a guarantee on a real hunt. I think that it is definitely something that I will be looking in to. I was pretty impressed with their site, as well as yours. I can't believe that I haven't looked at your site until now. Very nice.

dd, if anyone was to find the sheds off your buck if you hadnt of harvested him, i wonder how many ways a person would hold them to see what it looked like as far as spread goes. I know i woulda thought (holding those sheds in my hands) that they woulda been farther apart. never seen a set of horns with that exceptional mass go straight up and almost touch.

Nice pics Doc,that is some beautiful land in Alberta. I was in the Bow Zone (WMU 248) for a week and it was awesome. I also saw 2 moose 20 yrds away feeding. My only problem was that I didn't have a buck feeding at 20yrds! Still had a great hunt. And it could have been colder.
It's the most beautiful place I've ever hunted and I'll be back next year for sure.

NEB the Bow Zone might be what you want. Bows only and has been since 1972! There's some huge deer in the Zone and they aren't pressured like in surronding WMU's. They only allow around 65 nonresidents to hunt in the Bow Zone each year. That suprised me! I was there this year, didn't get a buck but had an awesome time. Wasn't real cold either.
