"host hunting"

I am from the USA and I would image you guys get sick of all the yankee hunters, but I would really like to hunt whitetail in Alberta this year.

I have a friend from Calgary who wants to take me and I have been told I don't need to hire an actual guid if we complete "host hunting" paperwork....assuming we qualify.

Any information about "host hunting" would be appreciated. If any of you have questions about hunting in Utah, let me know. Your game is bigger so I would image there will be no questions, but let me know.

Thank you in advace for your responses.

Mike
