Trophy Big Game Hunting in Northwest Alberta”

Wilderness Adventure Hunts for the 2009 / 2010 season


Bear

Moose

Wolf

Moose Country Outfitting offers you the opportunity to hunt Canadian Bull Moose, Timber Wolf and Black Bear in Alberta’s Northern Wilderness.

Moose:
We hunt Moose both in the early season during the “primary rut”, in September, and also in November, when bulls typically “herd up” in feeding areas. November can also bring on the “second rut”, where we change tactics and hunters and guides can get the bulls calling again! Wolf are combined with these hunts in both seasons. Black Bear can be added to the September hunt to make a significant combination hunt.

Bear:
The Peace River Country of Alberta is known around the world for its strong population of mature Black Bears. Come and experience a spot and stalk Black Bear Adventure Hunt, traveling by truck, ATV and/or canoe. Stay in remote, road access cabins located in the centre of the hunting area.

Wolf:
Seen as a wonderful additional trophy to your primary hunt species, wolf can also be hunted exclusively over bait in the winter months, or spotted and taken from ATV / snowmobile

Early fall Moose Hunts are conducted from a wilderness camp during the September / October calling season (moose rut). Hunting starts right from the tent door each morning, and we concentrate on the rutting activity of the moose, using calling techniques to bring bulls into the open for the hunter. Wolf are combined on these hunts for the nominal licence fee.

Fall Camp

Late fall Moose Hunts are conducted on snowmobile or ATV, depending on weather, and based from High Level or Rainbow Lake with hotel / motel accommodation. Field accommodation for hunt is available upon client’s request. Tracking is used extensively to locate moose feeding and bedding areas, and then “drives” or stalking is used to sort out your bull. If rut activity is encountered, we can switch to calling, and may have the bulls coming in!

 


Late Fall Hunt

- November  (7 day hunt) – Wildlife Mgmt. Unit 536 or 534
- On and off highway vehicle transportation from motel to hunting area (2 x 1 guiding)

Primarily an ATV hunt, the ground hunted will be winter roads and seismic lines, and many timber harvested areas in the region. During the “green-up”, the bears frequent these areas to take in the natural food sources available. Designed with input from the client, the hunt can also include a 2 day canoe trip on the class 1 Chinchaga River, providing opportunities in country inaccessible by road or trail. This addition will take you on 100 miles of river adventure, camping on the shores and hunting the way it was before the country was opened.
