BOWHUNTING FOR MOOSE OR ELK

MOOSE HUNTING

We specialize in Bowhunting trophy moose. Our primary hunting area allows Bowhunting only during the rut, has some of the highest densities of moose in Alberta, and has an excellent bull to cow ratio. Calling moose is incredibly exciting and our most productive method of getting trophy bulls into bow range. Other common methods we use include hunting natural mineral licks, or heavily used feeding areas.

ELK

Our new area also has a great abundance of other big game species including Elk. We bugle in these bulls during the rut or setup on the fringe of agricultural feeding areas and hunt from tree stands.

WHITETAIL

Alberta is famous for its great deer hunting and its giant trophy bucks. Alberta whitetails are the most predictable and easiest to bow hunt in September. We hunt their travel routes in the morning and evening as these bucks move to and from bedding areas to feed in the lush farm fields.

GAME BIRDS

Both ruff grouse and spruce grouse are very plentiful and are a lot of fun to hunt in the midday period whether bow or rifle hunting. Licensing for game birds is optional.

WOLF

A healthy wolf population exists in our area, and a wolf/coyote license is recommended for every hunter. Wolves are very wary and don't offer hunters a second chance, but the opportunity is there for the vigilant hunter. Bow hunters have had shooting opportunities every year.

FISHING

Arctic grayling and rainbow trout are abundant in the creeks as are the northern pike in the many lakes. As some of our moose calling is done from canoes, a little fishing at midday can be a relaxing break that the wearied hunter needs.

BAG LIMIT

An additional two species licenses can be purchased optionally, as can a bird game and wolf licenses that we highly recommend.

LOCATION

The primary hunting area located a short 2 hours drive west of the Edmonton International airport, near the town of Edson in the beautiful foothills, agricultural fringe area of west central Alberta. Our hunting areas have some of the highest moose densities in the province. Other advantages of this new area include: easier / more cost effective travel arrangements for our hunters, excellent access, controlled resident numbers and Bowhunting only during the rut. We're now hunting in the best area in Alberta for moose and an area that has excellent elk, whitetail and mule deer numbers. This move helps us to expand our line of high quality reasonably priced hunts that we offer to all hunters.
