Canada Whitetail and Mule Deer, Elk, Moose, Hunts in Alberta

This Alberta Canada Outfitter offers top quality trophy hunt experiences at the best value in Alberta. That is Professionally Guided Big Game Hunts for Record Book Alberta Big Game.

We have the most diverse hunting terrain in all of Alberta for big game hunts. No other Outfitter is able to customize your hunt as much as we do. We are able to plan your hunt specific to the game you are after. Instead of hunting out of a single hunting area, we move the accommodation to where the animals are. This is a proven method in harvesting trophy animals. We have the best track record with nine APOS awards for our hunter achievements in Mule Deer, Moose, Whitetail Deer and Elk hunts.

In 2010 we were honored to receive four APOS awards which leaves no doubt that we continue to offer big game hunts in the best hunting areas (WMUs) with the best guides in the province of Alberta.

Philosophy

We advise all guests that, as a responsible outfitter, we make every reasonable effort not to oversell our hunts. We do not want our hunters to come to us with unrealistic expectations. We book hunters who indicate they will be happy with a solid effort and a well run hunt with highly qualified, tested and proven guides. Our sport is called 'hunting', not 'killing'. We are a 100 % a “fair chase” operator and stress principles and ethics above all else. We do not use any type of bait. Hunters who indicate to us that they would only be happy by harvesting a 'book', or 'near book', animal, are usually referred to other outfitters. If these hunters persevere, they will eventually find an outfitter who will tell them what they want to hear. Any outfitter offering any type of guarantee is either new to the outfitting business, inexperienced, unethical or any combination of the foregoing.

It is important that we maintain proper perspective in our individual quests for that true trophy. One deer in every 750 killed in Alberta makes the 'book', versus about one per million in North America. According to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF), only two per cent of the elk killed in North America are 6-pointers. Check the record books to see how many mule deer are listed that have a spread greater than 32 inches.

We suggest to our hunting guests that we hope to be able to show them minimum 125 class whitetail and 140 class mule deer on our whitetail and mule deer primary hunts respectively. In fact, our rifle mule deer primary hunters harvest success has been 100% each of the past 10 years with an average score of 160 class B&C! On our moose hunts, we suggest that our guests should hopefully see 30" to 45" moose, while annually we usually harvest several moose with spreads exceeding 50". On our elk hunts we suggest that our hunters should hope to see 230 class to 300 class elk. Check out our Photo Gallery to see some of the massive big game that our hunters have harvested. We want you to harvest that big animal as much as you do. Our hunting guests appreciate our honesty and are rarely disappointed!

We anticipate that hunters should see a variety of big game, and while we cannot guarantee a harvest, we can guarantee 100% effort and perhaps the hunting experience of a lifetime with the potential for world-class results. We'll help you spot the game - you decide whether it meets your criteria, and if so, the hunt will be on, be it calling, spot and stalk, working the bush, ground blind hunting behind camo or in a simulated hay bale, tree stand hunting or some combination of these proven techniques. Whenever possible, we'll call the elk and moose in for these types of hunts, while we'll push and/or 'talk' to the deer, as required, for the mule deer and whitetail hunts.

We all want to harvest a 'book' animal however, in the sport of hunting; this just doesn't happen every hunt. Booking your next hunt with a quality outfitter such as Trophy Hunters Alberta, however, certainly improves your odds. Over the past 10 years, we have harvested some serious Boone & Crockett (B&C) and Pope  & Young (P&Y) book animals. In 2001, our hunters harvested 6 book animals which, in spite of the extremely dry conditions and above normal temperatures, was an excellent year. In 2002, our hunters harvested 2 more book animals. In 2003, with another 4 book animals, we had 100% harvest with our archery elk hunters, 100% harvest with both our archery whitetail and archery mule deer hunters and, yet again, 100% harvest for our rifle mule deer hunters with 28 hunters harvesting 28 mule deer, including some serious trophies. 2004 was another exceptional year, with every mule deer primary hunter getting their muley, for a total of 38 successful harvests. 2005 we harvested some bruisers as a number of hunters returned to harvest their 'personal best' with us. In 2006, there was excellent horn growth as we obtained the APOS Award for the Largest Mule Deer in the province harvested with a bow. 2007 we had the World Hunting Consultant, Al Kuntz and Bill Miller of North American Hunter harvest some serious big animals. In 2008 we continued with the 100% opportunity for each of our premium Mule Deer hunts. We also harvested a 340 Class Elk along with a beautiful 51 inch Moose.

In 2009 we obtained APOS Award for the Largest Elk in the province with a bow. We now have received awards for all four bug game species that we offer: Mule Deer, Moose, Whitetail and Elk. 

Similar successes have been experienced by our guest hunters every year with an average between 2 to 6 book animals harvested by our hunters in each of the past 10 years.

Results

If you want world-class hunting potential, we can provide the territories and, hopefully, the opportunities. Since we are a Alberta's most prominent Outfitter, with 500 allocations, and leads the way in hunt variety, selection, timing and location. Of our 500 allocations, 39 are for elk, 62 are for moose, 150 are for whitetail, 237 are for mule deer and 12 are for non-baited bear. 124 of our big game allocations are for archery hunts. With this number of non-resident permits, we are able to provide the highest degree of flexibility in our hunt offerings compared to any other Outfitter in Alberta.

We pride ourselves in operating small, personalized camps. This allows us to tailor a hunt based on the specific needs of an individual booking party.

The Province of Alberta instituted an excellent 'Game Management Program' in the 1990's that resulted in big game hunting becoming strictly controlled through an 'allocation' system for non-residents of Alberta and a 'draw' system for Alberta residents in many designated areas.

As a result of this practice, Alberta is now producing record book trophy big game every year. There are record book mule deer, moose, whitetail and elk throughout Alberta. During a filmed hunt with our company, Dan Parrott, famous host of the TV program 'Outdoor Traditions', harvested a huge 378 6/8 SCI Western Canada moose with his muzzleloader. Brad Miller, along with guide Mark Parsons, harvested, what at that time was, a new SCI world record rifle Shiras moose that scored 461 7/8 SCI and had a 61" spread. Alberta holds the world records for non-typical mule deer, archery elk, big horn sheep and shiras moose and has a dominating presence in both the Boone & Crockett, Pope & Young, SCI and Buckmasters record books.

The new millennium has produced consecutive successful big game hunting seasons, with our hunters having harvested many fine animals, including a massive 350+ class archery elk, numerous excellent moose, a 195 class archery whitetail and some incredible mule deer over the years. On a six day hunt, a single group of four hunters harvested 4 whitetail (a 187, 178, 160 and a 5x5) and 3 mule deer (including a 175 class) all on a foothills whitetail/mule deer combination rifle hunt.

Over the past 10 years, we have harvested some serious Boone & Crockett (B&C) and Pope  & Young (P&Y) book animals. In 2001, our hunters harvested 6 book animals. In 2002, we had record warm temperatures and still managed to harvest 2 more book animals. In 2003, we harvested 4 book animals and had our best mule deer results to date. The 2004 and 2005 seasons have each produced 4 more record book results by our hunters. In 2006, our hunters harvested another 4 book animals. In 2007 and 2008, we produced 7 book animals. In 2009, we harvested another 4 book animals.

On an early season archery deer combo hunt in 2003, a single hunter harvested both a 185 class mule deer and a 165 class whitetail. Our 3 archery elk hunters were all successful and each harvested a fine elk. Our 28 rifle mule deer hunters harvested 28 fine mule deer including muleys in the 180+ and 190+ class ranges. In 2004, our 38 rifle mule deer hunters averaged 160 class for the second year in a row! Again our rifle mule deer hunters achieved a 100% success, with some hunters reporting seeing in excess of 500 mule deer, including solid numbers of trophy bucks, during their respective 4 or 6 day hunts.

Our 2005 rifle mule deer season again produced 100% opportunity with evidence of even more, larger bucks, including several 185+ monsters.

Our 2006 rifle mule deer season also produced 100% harvest, while our archery mule deer hunters had a 75% harvest with many opportunities for all bow hunters. In 2006, we won the converted APOS Award for the 'Largest Mule Deer - Archery on an Outfitted Hunt' among all 450 Alberta outfitters. This award is in addition to our previous recent APOS awards for: 'Largest Whitetail - Archery on an Outfitted Hunt' (2 time winner) and 'Largest Moose - Archery on an Outfitted Hunt'. Every year, our hunters continue to harvest numerous 'book' animals.

In 2007, Tim Wells, TV Host, Video Producer and Author returned for his 9th straight archery hunt and harvested his 11th P&Y trophy with us. Tim harvested his biggest mule deer yet, a 190+ monster that net scored 184 2/8 and won for us the aforementioned prestigious honor of 'Largest Mule Deer, Archery' on an outfitted hunt. Tim described his experience with us stating that without a doubt the best outfitter I have ever encountered. I have hunted all over the world and the only outfitter that I continually return to.'

Our 2008 season was a solid year across all four big game that we offer: Mule Deer, Moose, and Whitetail. We continued with the 100% opportunity for each of our premium Mule Deer hunts. We also harvested a 340 Class Elk along with a beautiful 51 inch Moose.

In 2009, Tim Wells, harvested a beautiful 315 Elk. This won the 'Largest Elk - Archery on an Outfitted Hunt'. We also were successful in several Moose and yet another stellar year for Mule Deer.

Other recent highlights include a 205 5/8 non-typical archery whitetail from the Calgary Bow Zone, a “cranker” 340+ P&Y 6x6 elk, a 189+ whitetail, a 204 point mule deer and many 180+ mule deer. One of our guides currently holds the Alberta Mule Deer archery record with an early season 224 class mule deer.

In summary, we all want to harvest a “book”animal, however, in the sport of hunting, this just doesn't happen very often. Booking your next hunt with a quality outfitter such as us, however, certainly improves your odds.

Our mandate is to make every effort to ensure that our hunters have an enjoyable trip and a memorable hunting experience, while at the same time hopefully providing an opportunity to 'bag the big one'.

We want you to harvest that big animal as much as you do, and booking your next hunt with a quality outfitter such as us certainly improves your odds.

We own 167 whitetail deer allocations, allowing our clients to hunt whitetail deer throughout extensive areas of southern, south-western and west-central Alberta. Hunt Alberta in our extensive world class whitetail deer hunting zones covering over 15,000 square miles.

Tim Wells, TV Host of Outdoor Traditions harvested a monster whitetail with his bow. Tim would return many times and has harvested several Pope  & Young whitetail deer over the years.

We can provide a whitetail hunt in the mountains, the foothills, the prairies and everything in between. We hunt bush, woodlots, open country, river bottoms, coulees, draws, grain fields, etc.

A few years back, a new world record archery whitetail deer (#2 B&C) was harvested in Alberta by resident Wayne Zaft. This whitetail deer grossed 222 B&C and netted 208 6/8.

We offer a range of accommodations from working ranches to B&Bs, guide's homes, cabins, motels and full service lodges in the breathtaking mountain, foothills and prairie regions east of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

We provide both archery and rifle hunts for Alberta's massive whitetail deer. Our guides are tested, proven and capable, with all of our archery hunts being guided by experienced bow hunters.

ARCHERY - WHITETAIL DEER

Our Archery Whitetail Deer hunts take place on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains (WMUs 314, 318, 326, 330, 412, 414 & 429) and in the prairie (WMUs 104, 106, 108 & 110) regions of southern and SW Alberta, including the famous Calgary Bow Zone (WMU 212).

RIFLE - WHITETAIL DEER

The Rifle Whitetail Deer hunts take place in several of Alberta's top producing whitetail areas including the prairie (WMUs 104, 106, 108 & 110) areas along the Montana border and the foothills (WMUs 318 & 326) and mountain (WMUs 412, 414 & 429) regions along the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains in SW and west-central Alberta.

We offer 5 distinct types of whitetail deer hunts:

1 MOUNTAIN ARCHERY HUNT

2 PRAIRIE ARCHERY HUNT

4 PRAIRIE RIFLE HUNT 

5 FOOTHILLS / MOUNTAIN RIFLE HUNT

ADDIOTIONAL DETAILS

Alberta has developed the well deserved reputation of being the premier destination of choice for hunters looking for a quality whitetail hunt, and we is well known for our ongoing success with whitetail deer hunts.

On average, hunters should expect to see 130+ class whitetail during their hunt. Many hunters report seeing in excess of 30 whitetail during their hunt and, depending on the location and style of hunt, usually see several 'keepers'. We want you to get that 'big one' as much as you do, and often many of our hunters are fortunate enough to harvest serious whitetails. We do not oversell or embellish our hunts. At the end of the day, we do get the job done.

Tim Wells, TV host of Outdoor Traditions, harvested a 195 class beauty on yet another hunt with us. Several years ago, we harvested a 205 5/8 point non-typical archery whitetail in the Calgary Bow Zone. During one season 4 of our hunters in a 4-man camp at one of our working ranches in SW Alberta harvested a 187, a 178, a 160 and a 5x5 to go with their 3 excellent mule deer (two over 170 class).

We are proud of our ongoing success with our whitetail hunting guests. Years of experience, combined with many excellent Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) allow us to customize each hunt to the specific requirements of our individual hunters to maximize the odds for favorable results.

We include wolf & coyote hunting in all of our whitetail deer hunters. The odds of seeing a wolf are low in most areas; however, we usually harvest a few wolves each hunting season. Alberta coyotes are plentiful and generally larger than typically seen elsewhere.

All our Whitetail Deer hunts are fully guided with 2 hunters per guide and are all-inclusive (airport service, guiding, accommodation, meals, rough caping & transportation during the hunt). There are no hidden, or surprise, charges and no trophy fees. One-on-one guiding is available on most hunts at an additional cost of $1,500/week. Also, non-hunters are welcome at an additional $1,500/week per person.

All hunt pricing is in US funds and tax (5%) and licenses are extra.

We also provide big game hunts for Mule Deer, Moose, and Elk as well as numerous combination hunts. Please let us know if you would like more information on these other species hunts.

The Province of Alberta has the enviable reputation of being the destination of choice for hunters in search of a world class quality mule deer hunt.

Most years, our hunters have 100% hunt success when mule deer is their primary species and in each of the last ten years, our mule deer rifle hunters have harvested several huge mulies scoring 170 to 190+ B&C!

Visit the Trophy Hunters Alberta mule deer photo gallery to view over 450 pictures of our guests' successful mule deer hunts divided into each hunting season over the last 10 years.

Our Open Country Foothills and Prairie spot and stalk style Mule Deer hunts have gained widespread acclaim in recent years by hunters from all over North America and beyond. These are our most popular hunts and many of our mule deer hunters routinely report seeing over 100 mule deer per day during their hunt. Officially, we state that we hope to show our hunters minimum 140 class mule deer, however our experience indicates that each year many of our hunters harvest 160 to 180 class muleys and sometimes 190+ class. We offer both archery and rifle hunting experiences in some of Alberta's finest mule deer territories.

The world record non-typical Mule Deer comes from Alberta.

We offer a range of accommodations from working ranches to B&Bs, guide's homes, cabins, motels and full service lodges in the breathtaking mountain, foothills and prairie regions east of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Our Mule Deer hunts offer the highest opportunity and harvest rates of all our Big Game Hunts, and our flexibility as Alberta's premiere outfitter provides our clients with the most individualized options available for hunting Mule Deer. We have been told by many hunters that we have some of the best Mule Deer hunting in the world. We have the experience, resources and professionalism to run the highest quality Mule Deer hunts available in North America today.

Jim Bowden - 193+ Class - harvested first day on Foothills Hunt

Since the inception of the mule deer draw system, 10 years ago in the Foothills and many years ago in the Prairies, we have seen a large drop in the number of mule deer hunters and an increasing number of large mule deer surviving the hunting season and thus propagating their incredible genetic characteristics. 

These two factors make Alberta arguably the world's best area for hunting trophy mule deer.

Our wide selection of mule deer hunts are described in more detail below.

ARCHERY - MULE DEER

Our Primary Archery Mule Deer hunts take place in Alberta's top producing Mule Deer zones. Such territories include the Porcupine Hills area in the expansive foothills of southwestern Alberta ('Foothills' in WMU 304), the eastern slopes Mountain and Foothills regions of the Canadian Rocky Mountains ('Mountain' in WMUs 314, 318, 320, 326, 330, 412, 414, and 429), the trophy zones of the southern and eastern Alberta prairies ('Prairie' in WMUs 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 134, 160 & 162), the Calgary Bow Zone ('CBZ' in WMU 212).

We offer four distinct types of Archery Mule Deer hunts.

1 MOUNTAIN ARCHERY HUNT

2 FOOTHILLS ARCHERY HUNT

3 PRAIRIE ARCHERY HUNT

4 CALGARY BOW ZONE (CBZ) HUNT

 RIFLE - MULE DEER

Our Primary Rifle Mule Deer hunts take place in Alberta's top producing Mule Deer zones. Such territories include the rural and public forested areas NW of Calgary that lead into the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains ('Mountain' in WMUs 318, 320, 326, 330, 412, 414 & 429), the Porcupine Hills area in the expansive foothills of southwestern Alberta ('Foothills' in WMUs 304 & 305) and the trophy zones of the southern and eastern Alberta prairies ('Prairie' in WMUs 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 160 & 162). No other outfitter approaches our on overall Mule Deer hunt options and hunter success.

We offer three distinct types of Rifle Mule Deer hunts.

 1 MOUNTAIN RIFLE HUNT

2 FOOTHILLS RIFLE HUNT

3 PRAIRIE RIFLE HUNT

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

We  offers a wide range of Mule Deer hunts to meet most every requirement of a discerning Mule Deer hunter. Mule Deer are our specialty - we know what we are doing and we get results.

Our official position is that we expect to show our hunters minimum 140 class mule deer or larger. Yes, we do get larger muleys as witnessed by our 4-year average of 160 B&C average score for our mule deer. However, we do not want to mislead any hunter into thinking that he simply has to book a hunt with us and turn up and have a first day opportunity at a 190+ class mule deer. We assure you that we have had hunters who, in spite of many communications, hear what they want to hear and not what we have really said. It is extremely important that every hunter is realistic. We want to get the big one just like every hunter who hunts with us. There is no doubt that we have the best mule deer hunting areas and very experienced guides. These are the criteria that typically ensure a successful hunt and another returning   hunter.

Transportation for all of our mule deer hunts is primarily in a 4x4. Alberta is big country and the tested and proven method for finding and harvesting trophy mule deer is covering lots of extensive territory, glassing all possible bedding and feeding areas, being in good physical condition and hunting long and hard.

We will find mule deer in their preferred habitat and we know what that is and where it is located. We typically do not use remote camps for our mule deer hunts since the largest quantity and best quality of mule deer tend to be harvested from more open rural country. This open country has woodlots and some bushes, but frequently consists more of long grasses and brush on huge rolling hills where natural ground blinds, field swales, fence rows and other natural outcroppings allow for stalking these magnificent animals. In our 'Bush' mule deer hunts, there is obviously more cover available to the muleys and, as a result, our 'Bush' muley hunters do not see 'hundreds' of mule deer during their hunt.

As well, we provide low cost optional mule deer hunting as a secondary option on many of our elk and moose hunts. It is important that hunters understand that, on these hunts, mule deer are not as plentiful and are not a priority species that we will spend any real amount of time hunting - unless of course we harvest the primary species early in the hunt. We do not describe our 'Bush' hunts or secondary option mule deer hunts as 'Trophy' hunts, although there are trophy muleys to be had on the these hunts. 

We include wolf & coyote hunting in all of our mule deer hunters. The odds of seeing a wolf are low in most areas, however, we usually harvest a few wolves each hunting season. Alberta coyotes are plentiful and generally larger than typically seen elsewhere.

All our Mule Deer hunts are fully guided with 2 hunters per guide (except the Prairie Rifle hunts which are guided one-on-one) and are all-inclusive (airport service, guiding, accommodation, meals, rough caping & transportation during the hunt). There are no hidden, or surprise, charges and no trophy fees. One-on-one guiding is available on most hunts at an additional cost of $1,500/week. Also, non-hunters are welcome at an additional $1,500/week per person.

All hunt pricing is in US funds and tax (5%) and licenses are extra.

Elk

Elk are, without a doubt, the most majestic animal in the North American big game deer family and Alberta offers some of the finest elk hunting available anywhere. With Trophy Hunters Alberta, you can hunt Alberta for elk throughout the forested area leading into the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies and throughout the rolling foothills region in southern Alberta.

We currently have 39 elk allocations (about 10%) and a number of premium options for hunting elk both during the rut and in our late season elk hunts. For the serious elk hunter seeking a realistic hunting opportunity for Alberta elk, we should be your outfitter of choice. 

Please visit our Trophy Hunters Alberta Elk Photo Gallery for pictures of some of our successful elk hunters.

With the high demand for hunting elk in Alberta, and the limited availability of tags in the province (due to strict Fish and Wildlife management of this species), we recognizes the difficulty prospective hunters encounter when seeking to secure desirable placement for an upcoming season, particularly for groups. Although elk are, without a doubt, the most difficult species of ungulate to hunt, especially when they are being aggressively pursued, we typically has a success ratio as good as, and usually better than, most other elk outfitters in the Province.

Accommodation is typically on a working Alberta ranch, in a remote tent camp, a rustic remote lodge (complete with restaurant, store, satellite TV and other amenities) or in a local motel in a small town in, or near, the hunting zone.

We offer both archery and rifle hunts. Our hunts start August 25 for the 'early season' (pre-rut) with the rut commencing mid September. During October there may be a 2nd and/or 3rd rut and then on October 25th we commence our 'late season' hunts until the end of November.

ARCHERY - ELK

Our Archery Elk hunts take place in the forested area leading into the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and the rolling foothills of southern Alberta. The 'early season' archery elk hunts occur just north of Rocky Mountain House (WMU 330). The 'rut' archery elk hunts occur southwest of Calgary in the rolling Porcupine Hills (WMU 304).

RIFLE - ELK

Our Rifle Elk hunts take place in the forested area leading into the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and the rolling foothills of southern Alberta. The 'rut' rifle elk hunts occur around Rocky Mountain House (WMUs 326 and 330). The 'late season' rifle elk hunts occur in the Porcupine Hills southwest of Calgary (WMU 304).

We offer 4 distinct types of Elk hunts:

1 EARLY SEASON ARCHERY HUNT

2 RUT ARCHERY HUNT

3 RUT RIFLE HUNT

4 LATE SEASON RIFLE HUNT

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Our prominence as the premiere elk and big game Outfitter in Alberta allows us to offer an excellent range of combination hunts in some of Alberta's finest big game elk hunting areas. We add both mule deer and/or whitetail deer to each of our elk hunts. 

In our experience, the elk rut generally starts about September 10 and typically runs until the end of the month. The second rut is less predictable and occurs during October, however, by this time the elk have been hunted hard, many bulls have been shot and the elk have become quite nocturnal hiding in the heavy timber.

Elk can be the most difficult ungulate to hunt due to their incredibly wary nature, however, they are undoubtedly the most magnificent trophy in the deer family. Once spooked, they are not like deer, holding up in the next bush or draw, but rather they start running and may not hold up for 1 to 3 miles thus negating any pre-hunt scouting. Once elk are spooked, they become very nocturnal and require hard hunting to find where they have decided to settle down. Unlike our archery hunts, where we see elk most days, rifle elk hunts can be very unpredictable, especially once the elk have been hunted by rifle hunters.

We include wolf & coyote hunting in all of our moose hunters. The odds of seeing a wolf are low in most areas, however, we usually harvest a few wolves each hunting season.

All our Elk hunts are fully guided with 2 hunters per guide and are all-inclusive (airport service, guiding, accommodation, meals, rough caping & transportation during the hunt). There are no hidden, or surprise, charges and no trophy fees. One-on-one guiding is available on most hunts at an additional cost of $1,500/week. Also, non-hunters are welcome at an additional $1,500/week per person.

All hunt pricing is in US funds and tax (5%) and licenses are extra.

To book your Elk hunt with Alberta's premiere big game outfitter, please phone us toll-free @ (877) HUNT-YES <(877) 486-8937>. We are also booking future year hunts at current prices.

We also provide big game hunts for Mule Deer, Moose and Whitetail as well as numerous combination hunts. Please let us know if you would like more information on these other species hunts.

Moose

Trophy Hunters Alberta is Alberta's premiere Moose outfitter, owning some of Alberta's best allocations for the species throughout the forested area leading into the slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. We has 62 moose allocations offering both archery and rifle hunting experiences. Prices for moose hunts in Alberta are typically about half of the price charged for a moose hunt in Alaska, the Yukon or in British Columbia. Trophy Hunters Alberta is renowned for its moose hunting successes in Alberta.

Our hunters can hunt Alberta for the Western Canada moose, the second largest sub-species in the moose family where our opportunity rate is usually between 75% to 90%. The harvest rate is generally 85%.

Visit our Trophy Hunters Alberta Moose Photo Gallery to view pictures of our guests' successful moose hunts.

Our premium moose hunts take place in the coniferous forests and willow muskegs of west-central Alberta, in the foothills of the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The more southern WMUs actually border on spectacular Banff National Park with its incredible scenery. Our moose hunts are conducted over hundreds of square miles of rich wilderness habitat supported by a well-managed and moisture-abundant regional biology.

We have an excellent track record for our moose hunts and is well known for its moose hunting successes in Alberta. We were the recipient of the APOS (Alberta Professional Outfitters Society) Award for 'Largest Moose - Archery on an Outfitted Hunt'. We are also very proud of the former world record Shiras moose killed in Southern Alberta by Brad Miller that scored 461 7/8 SCI and had a spread of 61 inches!

We hunt moose using various methods to attract the moose to our hunters. If one method is not working, we can change the plan and/or location as required. During the moose rut season, which usually occurs during late September through the middle of October, we will frequently be calling moose with cow calls and/or bull grunt calls. If the bulls are unresponsive, we will cover as much territory as possible utilizing ATVs on our rut hunts and 4x4s on our late season hunts to find our bull moose. No matter which method of transportation is utilized, we expect to do a fair amount of walking/stalking to find, and get close to, our bull moose.

Accommodations for our moose hunts can vary from tent camps through trailer/motorhome camps to working Alberta ranches, local B & Bs, motels and Guest Resort cabins.

ARCHERY - MOOSE

 Archery Moose hunts take place in the forested area leading into the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The 'early season' archery moose hunts occur just north of Rocky Mountain House (WMU 330) or bordering Banff National Park (WMU 412). The 'rut' archery moose hunts occur through the corridor between Calgary and Red Deer leading west into the slopes of Canadian Rocky Mountains (WMUs 314, 316, 320, 322, 324 & 326).

RIFLE - MOOSE

 Rifle Moose hunts take place in the forested area leading into the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The 'rut' rifle moose hunts occur north of northwest of Rocky Mountain House (WMU 339) or bordering Banff National Park (WMUs 412 & 414). The 'late season' rifle moose hunts occur through the corridor between Calgary and Red Deer leading west into the slopes of Canadian Rocky Mountains (WMUs 314, 316, 320, 322, 324 & 326).

We offer 4 distinct types of Moose hunts:

1 EARLY SEASON ARCHERY HUNT

2 RUT ARCHERY HUNT

3 RUT RIFLE HUNT

4 LATE SEASON RIFLE HUNT

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Moose are certainly one of the most sought after members of the ungulate family and are frequently near the top of most hunters' wish list. The usual challenge to hunting moose, if you do not live in a prolific moose zone, is to be successful in a state, or provincial, moose draw. As there are very few states, and a limited number of provinces, that have any significant moose population, obtaining a moose draw is generally not possible and remains only a dream for most hunters.

Alberta moose outfitters have a solution to the usual dilemma facing hunters wanting to hunt the largest (and definitely best tasting) member of the deer family. In Alberta, moose outfitters have allocations for specific Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) and are able to provide non-residents a guaranteed tag for each year per moose license.

Western Canadian Moose populations flourish in these areas, as ample food, water and forest cover offer this large, and often solitary, species a peaceful and bountiful habitat in which to dwell and mate. Average bull moose racks range from 30" - 45", with body weights upward of 1,000 pounds. Although, as is our policy, we do not oversell or embellish our hunt offerings, we state that we would hope to show our hunting guests 30" to 45" moose, most years a couple of our hunters are fortunate enough to take a moose with a rack in excess of 50".

All moose hunts require good eyes to spot the moose and, in many cases, an exciting stalk to close in for the kill. Hopefully, we will have snow during our moose hunts, both rut and late season, both to increase their mobility and to assist us in spotting these elusive trophies.

Dan Parrott, famous TV host of Outdoor Traditions, in a filmed hunt hunted with us. He harvested a 378 6/8 SCI Western Canada moose. He states it was the best hunt he has ever been on with world class guides.

We include wolf & coyote hunting in all of our moose hunters. The odds of seeing a wolf are low in most areas, however, we usually harvest a few wolves each hunting season.

All our Moose hunts are fully guided with 2 hunters per guide and are all-inclusive (airport service, guiding, accommodation, meals, rough caping & transportation during the hunt). There are no hidden, or surprise, charges and no trophy fees. One-on-one guiding is available on most hunts at an additional cost of $1,500/week. Also, non-hunters are welcome at an additional $1,500/week per person.

All hunt pricing is in US funds and tax (5%) and licenses are extra.

We also provide big game hunts for Mule Deer, Whitetail, and Elk as well as numerous combination hunts. Please let us know if you would like more information on these other species hunts.
