2011 review of driftwood valley outfitters
after booking my hunt aug of 2010, i waited to hear from the outfitter with instructions/directions up until late july early aug of 2011, when i finally took it upon myself to call and request. After leaving several messages, derek finally called me back 2 weeks later. On to the hunt....It was horrible. In ten days, my guide and I saw one nanny with two kids, no billies. On the moose side of things, we saw 2 cows and a calf, no bulls. And I quote my guide" this is horrible, there are no animals here". Great thing to hear from your guide after you drop 12 grand. I was dropped of at blue lake, the country there is very limited. The terrain really limits a person to not a lot of huntable area. And yes i am in excellent shape, and can cover some ground. I was the camp cook, i cooked probably 70% of the meals.....the accomodations were ok, food was okay if you like game from last years hunters. After waiting two months to hear from the outfitter,to see if he would offer me a deal to return for a discounted price since we saw nothing in ten days, i decided to post this review. If you are looking to drop 12 grand plus on a trip up north, with an outfitter who does this on the side and doesnt really care, derek is the guy for you. And it was'nt just me, the hunters in camp before me got nothing, and the hunter at derek's other camp, drift, got nothing. So the odds for 2011 were fairly poor. I have been on other guided hunts and this one takes the cake for lousy. Sorry, but this was my honest experience.

Alberta Hunting Information
Alberta is a large, diverse province with rolling prairies, farmland, river bottoms, Boreal forests, and large expanses of the northern Rocky Mountains. Many species of big game, waterfowl, upland game and predators inhabit Alberta. Long known for monster whitetails, Alberta also is home to big mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, black bear, cougar, Canada moose, and bighorn sheep. In fact, 7 of the 10 largest bighorn sheep in Boone and Crockett record book are from Alberta. In addition to big game, Alberta offers some top notch bird hunting. Serious waterfowlers know about the large flocks of ducks and geese that call Alberta home or migrate through.
Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
Utah Hunting Information
Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
