Expectations

All hunters want to hunt where they have the highest odds of harvesting their trophy animal. The best way to improve your odds is to hunt in Alberta, but also to remember to hunt with realistic expectations to avoid going home disappointed because monster bucks aren't behind every tree. As all true hunters know, a good guide, combined with 100 per cent sincere effort and a positive hunter attitude will always produce better results and a more enjoyable and memorable hunt. Add in the country and terrain of Alberta to the equation and you are probably operating at the highest reasonable odds of harvesting a true trophy. I want to emphasize proper perspective in all of our dealings with our guests especially those of the next generation so that the true meaning of hunting is not lost. I do not oversell my hunts on the basis of monster bucks every time, or my possibilities of finding that monster the first day/trip you are here. I only have one record book buck myself but many marvelous trophies due to the experiences with the one I have gotten and missed! I tell you how it really is and trust me from experience that things rarely ever come together the way you think they shouldthat is what makes each animal you harvest a true trophy no matter what the size. What I will provide is an enjoyable experience, lots of flexibility and a 100 per cent solid effort on your behalf everyday that you are here. There are many uncontrollable elements associated with any hunt, more so than variables you can control. They may limit the hunt but the Outfitter/Guide and hunter must work together and overcome these odds, in doing this the animal harvested or that you have a chance at becomes even more of a trophy to the both of you! I anticipate that hunters will see a variety of big and small game, and while I cannot guarantee a kill, I can guarantee a solid effort and perhaps the hunting experience of a lifetime with the potential for world-class results.
