White-tailed Deer Hunt
Alberta has long been recognized for its population of giant whitetails. Thick patches of spruce and aspen forest broken up by vast grain fields, makes for the perfect habitat for growing these trophies. Hunters should expect to see deer ranging from 140” to 160” with the potential for higher scoring animals.
The months of September and October offer archery hunters the first opportunities at mature whitetails that have we have spent months patterning to food sources and bedding areas. Archery hunts take place from tree stands or ground blinds over areas with heavy whitetail traffic.
November offers rifle hunters an opportunity at the rut-ready big boys. The colder temperatures of the late fall predictably have the bucks on their feet in search of and following estrus does. November hunts should be expected to have the potential for frigid days. All hunts will take place from heated blinds with open site lines to active travel corridors.

Mule Deer Hunt
The rolling hills, productive farmland, and thick brush patches of central Alberta offer exceptional habitat for producing mammoth mule deer. Alberta’s resident hunter draw system has reduced the hunting pressure on this species allowing populations to thrive in our area. Hunters can expect to encounter mule deer ranging 150” to 190” with the potential for much larger trophies.
Our mule deer hunts are offered as heart pounding spot-and-stalk archery hunts in September and October. Our guides have scouted and patterned the big bucks, waiting for the right opportunity for you to move in for a shot. Our experienced guides will work with you one-on-one to stalk mature mule deer in standing crop or forested lands.

Stand sits in high traffic areas can also be used to accommodate those looking for a less physically demanding experience.

Black Bear Hunt
In addition to our impressive deer population, Alberta is home to giant black bears. Our black bear hunts are offered as adrenaline pumping spot-and-stalk hunts over open pasture or grain fields, as baiting is not permitted in our management area. The inability to bait bears significantly reduces the hunting pressure in the area, allowing older bears to reach a trophy caliber.
