Speaking of hunting in Alberta, not sure if you guys are aware of this but if you have friends or family here, they can act as a hunter host, and act as your guide. You can only do it once every three years, but might be a good option for some. Cheaper than paying an outfitter, if you know someone who hunts and knows his area. We can't take payment for it either, so bonus for you! I've done it a couple times.
