Wow… As you can see, Alberta has monsters, but it’s one of the toughest places I’ve ever hunted; I’ve tried there 4 times over the years with zero success. In my experience, what makes it so tough is the pressure, with both locals and outfitters running around and hunting the same areas. The giants go nocturnal quickly. Unless you hit the peak of the rut just right in November, when the monsters might come out to chase does for a day or 2 in the daylight, it’s damn hard to see one, much less shoot one.
