This hunt takes place in central Alberta, one hour west of Edmonton, Alberta. This is an archery Canadian Moose hunt, and the outfitter states that this one is "Up Close and Personal"! This outfitter’s hunting area has, without question, the largest Canadian moose in all of Alberta. Many 55” plus bulls have been taken with the potential of harvesting up to as big as a 65”+ bull. This hunt is conducted during the peak of the rut in mid-September. All of the guides are experienced moose callers and they know the country inside out.

This hunt is catered exclusively for archery hunters. By remaining archery-only, they are able to keep the pressure on their moose to a minimum and maintain excellent genetics in their bulls as well. All of their guides have been guiding archery moose hunts for decades and are archery hunters themselves, which allows them to understand the exact needs of their archery hunting clients. They know what setups are going to be most successful, and most importantly, how close you need to get. Their guides have become expert moose callers over the years and are able to pull bulls into close range, which of course is a must for archery hunters.

These moose hunts take place on both private land and public land/crown land during the moose rut in September and October. This is the best time to hunt moose, as big bulls are spending all of their time looking for cows and are easily called in by experienced callers like their guides. They spend a lot of time driving around on ATV's and trucks to access different areas, but they also spend a a lot of time on foot - still-hunting through areas that they know are likely to hold a bull or two. Whether they drive or hike, the goal is to move between spots and try different calling setups until they get a good response from a bull. When they finally have a bull coming in on a string, the excitement is almost overwhelming.

During your hunt, you will be staying in hunting cabins on their property where you can expect to have a hot shower and a comfortable bed waiting for you at the end of the day. They do not mix groups at all - you do not have to worry about sharing camp with strangers. They also only take between 2 and 4 clients each year. These hunts are guided 1x1, so your guide's only focus will be getting you a bull. Their success rates 80-90%, with a 100% opportunity rate. In other words, you can safely expect to at least get an opportunity at a bull.
