Just ok
If you want a big bear, you need to part of the inner circle of hunters that troy has blessed. Otherwise, you hunt from the ground, and will see plenty of small bear. The 2:1 guide to hunter ratio is also a joke. They stack 5 men with weapons in a 2 door truck. Not great for us bigger guys :) For what it's worth, I had a much better experience in Manitoba.

Reviewer Comments: This was my second black bear hunt with NAO. May 18-23, 2009. Troy and his guides did everything possible to put our group of 8 hunters on quality game. This is a very professional run operation and they provide a great hunt with personal service to each hunter. I have hunted with many other outfitters in Canada and the US, this one is by far the best. You will not believe the accomodations of the lodge and food once you get to camp (Slave Lake). I am the most impressed with the honesty and hard work ethic of Troy Foster. I would recommend booking early, Troy sells out every year for all his hunts. I also hunter whitetails last year with Troy. I shot a 167 inch two hours into the hunt.

Kansas Hunting Information
Kansas is one of the top producing monster whitetail buck states in the country. It also has some excellent turkey hunting and a few big mule deer in the western part of the state. Kansas has an excellent reputation as a top notch destination for upland birds. It has excellent populations of pheasant and quail due to the vast expanse of suitable prairie and grassland type habitat.
Iowa Hunting Information
Iowa is one of the best Midwestern states for monster whitetail bucks. Non-residents must apply for a tag in their annual drawing. Archery tags are the most sought after and depending on what units you apply for generally take 2-4 years to draw.
British Columbia Hunting Information
British Columbia is an excellent hunting destination that offers a wide variety of game species. Vast wilderness areas and pristine coastlines provide world class adventure hunting for those seeking that trip of a lifetime. BC is arguably best known for big coastal black bears, Canada moose, grizzly bear, mountain lion, Dall sheep and Stone sheep. Hunters can book a hunt with an outfitter and avoid the license drawing process common in most U.S. states.
