Reviewer Comments: Hunted at Ford Creek in 2005. I walked for 6 days for 12 to 13 hours a day and never sighted an elk. The gudies were good but the area does not hold elk and very few mule deer. The owner offered no explaniation for the lack of game. The area appears to have been over hunted and does not hold game. I would not recommend this outfitter.

Overall Impression: Terrible
Recommend: NO
Reviewer Comments: I shot an average 4x4 Mulie (which I spotted, dressed & dragged myself)but they have NOT killed an Elk since 1997. The TWO big bulls (in the brocure)were killed by a father & son that happened to head them off in a vehicle as they crossed the road. Terribly misrepresented and a waste of money. They had only ONE experienced guide in 2000 and he was let go along with the entire staff in 2001. Do NOT book here !!!!!!!!!

Reviewer Comments: They have two problems: 1) Deer are scarce, elk non-existent 2) There is no communication between guides and hunters. They will not answer such simple questions as : "what do you have in mind for tomorrow"

Reviewer Comments: We were told that all guides were seasoned and would work hard to get our game. None of these kids had ever guided before.This outfitter grossely misrepresented this hunt. All we did was hunt with all the locals. Stay away from these guys.

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.
Oregon Hunting Information
Oregon is not known to be a trophy big game producing state. That said they do have good quantities of animals such as Elk.
