good morning all, i know its still a few weeks away, but we are getting a little excited!

looking for weather/snow reports for January 15th onwards...is it a sled or a quad trip? we don't have the option of bringing both...

We are in zone 7-57B, had a draw in 2016 and were successful with our 2 bison. Hoping for a repeat now that we have a bit of a clue of what what we are doing.

cheers everyone!!

A relative tole me a relative just returned from a bison hunt, not sure what zone they were drawn for but they were a skunk. All they came across were multiple carcasses strewn throughout the region. Apparently they were preempted if you know what I mean.

Went up in 2015. Beat the snot out of my sleds. Only 6 inches of snow. Got my bull but would have been better with more snow to cushion the rocks. Best of luck!

Plenty of snow and cold (-22ºC) right now in town. It's supposed to moderate by the weekend though.
