Did anyone hunt Alberta this year? We are looking at booking for 26. Does air canada offer a credit card to get points to save on flights or get special baggage rates?

I hopped on to post almost the exact same question.
A group of 3 of us are wanting to book for 2025 so I'm looking for all info I can find on outfitters in Alberta. Mind if we use your thread to gather info both of us can benefit from?

I hunted this year, near Falher. Warm weather kept rut activity low. Never saw a bull worth punching my tag, though meat bulls, cows and calves were seen daily, as were elk, mulies, whitetails and bears.
I drove, so can't help with the airline situation. If you fly, make sure you have a plan to get your meat home. Where I was, there were no freight companies available. That's why I drove with a chest freezer in the bed of my truck. Best of luck.

Thanks for the feedback.
Is it worth trying to push for the later portion of the rut to hopefully get better weather? It seems like I've read several accounts of warm weather slowing rut activity.

Yeah, possibly the second or third week in Oct. Historically, the first week in Oct. has been the prime week. However, my guide told me that the last couple of years, rut activity has been slowed by unseasonably warm weather.
It's a crap shoot. You go and book the second or third week and they'll tell you, "Ya shoulda been here last week".😉
