Alberta elk hunting is a sleeper with it’s ever-growing elk herd, a rise in the age class and an increase in trophy quality. There aren’t many areas where you can hunt elk in September with a rifle and an over-the-counter tag.
This Canadian outfitter is located in the heart of the Peace Country in Northwestern Alberta. The Peace Country is renowned for producing huge Whitetail along with trophy Mule Deer, Moose, Black Bear and Elk hunting. The Massive antler growth and body mass common in the big game in this area is contributed to the abundance of agricultural crop. The hidden secret of the Peace Country is the availability to hunt multiple game species in the same area, including World Class Upland Bird and Waterfowl. This is a small outfit focusing on offering individualized attention, and one of the highest quality elk hunting experiences possible. Geographically they are situated approx. 350 miles Northwest of Edmonton or 60 miles North of Grande Prairie.
Alberta elk hunting takes place in flat farm fields surrounded by timber (Crown Land), so it is a fairly easy hunt. You will drive the farmland with your guide until you find a good bull, then use spot and stalk and/or call a rutting bull into range. The kicker on this hunt is that it takes place during the rut with a very realistic opportunity at bulls in the 275″ – 325″ B&C range. If you prefer a hard-core, traditional elk hunt, this hunt is not for you. However, if you want a high odds, fairly easy, laid back hunt with a fun outfitter, we can’t think of a better one. Our own Marc Warnke has hunted with this outfitter many times, and hopes to go again.
