In 2001 I booked a combination big game hunt for mountain goat, black bear and moose through Cabela's outdoor Adventures with McKenzie Brothers Outfitters of Alberta, Canada. This hunt occurred in September with a total cost of $7500.00. The outfitter did not provide experienced guides for the hunt.
One of my guides refused to take me hunting one day due to the rain because she did not have the proper clothes and did not want to get wet. This same guide while unloading her rifle three feet from me accidentally discharged it. I was lucky that I was not shot.
I was not allowed to shoot a black bear of considerable size because the guide did not want to pack it out of the bush. The goat I shot was lost to a bear and I was not allowed a new tag due to the outfitters bad judgement. Half the time there was no heat in camp due to generator problems.
Food service was terrible due to lack of enthusiam by the cook. Before you book a big game hunt through Cabela's email me first and I will give you a detailed synopsis of the ten day hunt. Then make your decision.
