HUNT BACKCOUNTRY

Four Different Kinds of Moose Hunts:

Float Plane

Our float plane hunts are by far the most relaxing. You will be taken to an extremely remote lake in the Northern Boreal Forest where you will spend the next ten days exploring the shoreline and tight tributaries by canoe. It's possible to call moose right from camp, and this hunt offers an incredible connection to the wilderness with beautiful evening sunsets, fishing opportunities, and wide variety of other wildlife to observe.

Amphibious Argo

These hunts will have you traveling to Ft McMurray or Edmonton depending on circumstances. You will travel by trucks to our staging area, where we will take you to a series of remote lakes and wildfire burns on amphibious UTV. This hunt can be comfortably completed by most hunters, however being able to walk 2-3 miles per day will increase your chances for success. This is a very adventurous hunt and you can expect to see a lot of country. This hunt offers the best opportunity for other species like black bears, wolves, ptarmigan, grouse.

Helicopter

Meeting us in Fort McMurray, you and your guides will take a helicopter to a series of creeks and meadows that converge within a few miles of each other. As this rut progresses, bulls follow these creeks to a world class honey hole. This is our most remote and difficult to access area. You will be required to walk a minimum of 4 miles per day on this adventure, and sleep in a small but effective spike camp.

Mountain Backpack

During the last week of the archery season, we operate a backpack mountain hunt along the border of the world famous Banff National Park. You will meet your guide in Calgary, Alberta, and travel by truck to the staging area about 2 hours away. From the staging area, we go on ATVs to spike camps strategically placed along a trail system. From these camps you will be hiking out between 1 and 6 miles, stopping to call bulls periodically. This hunt is physically demanding, and you should be prepared to hike 4-8 miles per day, as well as help pack out your moose 1 to 3 miles. Mule deer can be taken with a rifle or bow on this hunt.

Hunt dates September 14 to 23.

Basecamp

Our basecamps vary a bit from location to location. Some are situated along streams or rivers, others at remote trail hubs. Generally speaking, base camps have a larger cook tent, and smaller 8x10 canvas tent for hunters accommodation.

Heat for tents will be provided through wood stoves, however, fire bans may restrict the use of these stoves, so your sleeping bag should still be adequately rated. Tents will have cots to keep you off the ground, but you will still need to bring a sleeping pad.

In basecamp we love to have homecooked meals with fresh food. Expect to enjoy pasta, hearty stews, and typical meat and potatoes you would find in your own kitchen.

Spike Camp- your option

For those wanting a little more adventure in their hunt, we are able to spike out for some or all of the nights. While not necessary, spiking out does offer access to more remote areas.

In spike camp small backpack style shelters (occasionally small wall tents) will be used to give protection from bugs, wind and rain. You will be sleeping on a sleeping pad, placed on a low profile ultra-light cot. Meals while spiking will consist of commercially available dehydrated meal packs, and other items which are lightweight, low volume, durable, and non perishable. Smokies, chili, pasta, home made stews, wraps, and such, along with more than enough snacks of great variety. You wont go hungry, I promise.
