Very simply, our clients continue every year to give rave reports on this excellent outfit. Lots of moose and very high success, with lots of luck with calling during the rut. Also they have superb black bear hunts in the Peace River Region of Alberta, with success on two bears being almost expected! They also take great whitetails and mulies, with book deer harvested virtually every year. And then comes the moose hunting – perhaps some of the finest rut moose hunting for the price that there is! For example, take the results that two of our recent bowhunters conveyed back to us:
“If we sat down and spent an hour thinking about it, we still could not find even one thing to complain about! We were really into moose – called one to within 15 feet, where it stood drooling while deciding if we were a mate or not! We turned down a number of bulls before taking ours. Calling was excellent; guides were excellent; food was good and abundant; excellent equipment that’s well maintained and modern. A good comfortable camp with lodge
and nice cabins. And these guys really worked. We sometimes ended up 150 miles apart to try other hot spots! Excellent in every category, and they had taken 22 moose for 24 hunters!!!”
Moose here will average in the 35” to 40” range, with a patient hunter willing to risk not filling his tag having a decent chance at bagging something bigger. Good representative Canada moose, with high success at a reasonable cost! Regulation changes are resulting in even larger bulls each year. But the excitement level of calling in these giant deer to within a few yards is simply off the charts. The two guys out of 24 hunters who did not score either missed or turned down a number of animals, so the opportunity is close to 100% on good moose! And success is about 85%, but do realize that Alberta weather can be a factor in success and animal movement. But the high success and reasonable cost makes this is a tough deal to beat!
Troy D.: “This was our first time to Alberta hunting. We had an amazing time. These guys know how to get it done. The weather didn’t cooperate but they adapted and we shot 3 moose and one whitetail. We are planning another trip with them. If you are adventurous, ask for the Devin experience.”
Chad D: “Awesome place to hunt moose, there are plenty of moose in the area. Seen 6 before I decided to harvest one! The guides know the area very well and called 3 into us within 20 yards of me! And you will not leave hungry, the food was great and plentiful!!”
LODGING: You stay in a comfortable lodge with good food and hot showers. No tents or cots here!
For gun hunters, you can hunt with rifle during the rut and on into the snow times in November when moose are very visible. They skin your game on the premises and have a large cooler. The meals are superb and usually two big meals are served daily. Often you can pick and choose among bulls. Contrast this with many Canadian moose hunts where so many guys never even see a moose on their hunts!! We have heard dozens of sad tales about non-existent moose, so this hunt is a true discovery! Also some superb wing shooting for ducks and geese – if you want to book that, be sure to call us, or if you want to re-book please call us. We need your loyalty on re-bookings or if you want to send a friend.
FOUR VERY IMPORTANT FACTORS TO BE AWARE OF WHEN COMPARING THESE HUNTS WITH OTHERS:
• Realize that their pricing INCLUDES YOUR LICENSE! With some places charging $500 to $1,000 for tags, this is a big deal.
• Realize you get a wolf license included in all their big game hunts!
• And also realize THERE IS NO DRAW! Just book this hunt and go! Also it makes it much easier to book flights and make plans early. This alone can also save you several hundred dollars on fares!
• FREE airport pickup – saves you $500 or more on a rental car!
Now in case that’s not enough, you may even be able to add on a black bear, elk or deer if tags are still available, and getting a bear here is almost a given, but BOOK EARLY! Normally you will fly to Edmonton, rent a car and drive to Grande Prairie (about 4 hours). Or you may fly right into Grande Prairie for pickup. Northwest, Alaskan, American, Air Canada, etc. have flights. There is a procedure for gun imports – PRETTY EASY & simple and we can help. Ask us! Some clients also choose to drive so as to bring all the meat home! Dates from September into November!
Their moose hunting takes place in the world famous Peace River Country. It is known for having one of the highest moose densities in North America. Due to the Alberta’s management of moose, they have been taking high quality animals each year, with their largest being an unbelievable 63″. They have three different moose hunts to choose from, as well as combination hunts for moose with black bear, whitetail, mule deer, waterfowl, and elk. They also take some huge whitetails and mule deer every year.
EARLY BOW HUNTS: 6-Day hunts
You bow hunt in the archery-only season from late August to mid-September. During this time they concentrate on the prime feeding areas, game trails, natural mineral “licks”, and other prime habitat showing fresh moose activity. This is a very exciting and productive hunt. You will normally see more moose on this hunt than any of their other moose hunts. Moose are relatively easy to stalk and, of course, are big targets. This makes this hunt very exciting. The weather at this time is pleasant and the days are long. If you want to have the challenge of taking North America’s largest member of the deer family with a bow, this is the hunt for you.
The archery-only season starts on August 25 but this outfitter doesn’t starting hunting them until mid-September, and archery ends on September 23. The reason the bow-only season is cheaper is that the allocations (granted to the outfitter by the Alberta government) that only can be used in that period have less value than the ones that can be used in the rifle season. There are no kill fees; only the charge for every species that is added to the base archery season cost. The outfitter takes 6-12 bowhunters per year.
RUT HUNTS – BOW OR RIFLE: 6-Day hunts
The rut moose hunts take place in late September to mid-October. During this time the moose are in the peak of the rut. They will call them in to you, making for relatively easy shots. Hearing their deep grunt as they respond is every bit as exciting as the bugle of a bull elk. This hunt can be done with bow or rifle and both are highly successful. Success on this hunt is consistently 85%-90% + on kills, and of course opportunity is almost always 100%. Rifle success is a bit higher.
NOVEMBER POST-RUT HUNTS – BOW OR RIFLE: 6-Day hunts
At this time of year you will hunt your moose by spot and stalk. The moose are feeding more in the open at this time. The lack of leaves plus the presence of snow make them easier to spot and locate. Clients usually see a lot of moose on this hunt. This hunt can be done with rifle or bow, but lends itself more toward a rifle hunt as shots can sometimes be long. In the past few years they have killed their biggest bulls on this hunt. The kill percentage is similar to the rut hunt, 85%-90%. The hunts are done from blinds and by driving the roads, then getting out and stalking.

TO PREVENT PROBLEMS WHEN RETURNING TO THE UNITED STATES, YOU MUST REGISTER YOUR FIREARMS AND RELATED EQUIPMENT BY TAKING THEM TO ANY CUSTOMS AND BORDER PATROL (“CBP”) OFFICE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE UNITED STATES. THE CBP OFFICE WILL REGISTER THEM ON THE SAME CBP FORM 4457 USED TO REGISTER CAMERAS AND COMPUTERS.
