Description:  This outfitter offers guided rifle & archery elk hunts in the Peace River region of Alberta Canada. They offer elk bowhunts during the early archery season and rifle and archery elk hunts during the general hunting season. No matter which elk hunt you choose, you are sure to have an unforgettable experience.

When bull elk are bugling it can be a very exciting and up-close hunting experience! During the elk hunt you may be chasing bugling bulls through river valleys or in heavy timbered cover they find security in. Also you may stand or still hunt wallows, licks, and game trails to feed sources or watering holes. An Alberta elk hunt might also find you and your guide floating one of the rivers and working the banks and flats trying to locate a responsive bull. Bull elk with 3 or more legal sized points can be harvested in our area. 

Archery Alberta Elk Hunting:

Bow hunters can hunt during the pre-rut and early rut stages of late August and early September. This is a great time for archery elk hunting as the bulls are still challenging one another to establish their territory and harems. 

General Season Alberta Elk Hunting:

General season archery and rifle hunts run from mid-September through November. The best time to rifle hunt elk is opening week when the bulls are in mid or full rut stage. Hunting involves walking and calling, waiting for a bull to respond to a challenge or cow call, and then making a move to intercept the targeted bull.

This destination offers guaranteed tags and quality guided elk hunts. The Alberta elk hunts can make a great combo hunt with bear, moose, whitetail or mule deer.

Accommodations:  All big game hunts offered by this outfitter are operated out of their base camp. Sleeping accommodations are in a wooden framed, aluminum sided, multi-room bunkhouse. Each room has wooden framed beds with mattresses, forced air heating, and comfortably sleeps 2-3 clients. The washhouse has hot/cold running water with shower, sink, and flush toilet.

The dining and kitchen units are canvas tents over wooden frames and floors, complete with microwave, television, DVD, and VHS. Just about like home! They have electrical service in all units. Camp options on some hunts include overnight or weeklong excursions to remote tent camps.

Transportation/Getting there: Clients have several travel options including:

1. Fly into Edmonton, Alberta and rent a vehicle for the approx. 4.5 hour drive into our camp on paved, well maintained roads.

2. Fly into Grande Prairie, Alberta and rent a vehicle for the 1.0 hour drive into camp or have us pickup and return you to the Grande Prairie airport.

3. Arrive in camp on your scheduled arrival dates with your personal vehicle so you can conveniently return home with trophies and processed wild meat.

Gear and Weather:  Your personal hunting gear will vary on the season and species you are hunting. In Alberta, there is no requirement to wear high-visibility clothing (such as red or blaze orange) while hunting. Contact us to discuss details.

The base camp hunts include all bedding, towels, non-personal toiletries, etc. Spike camps will require you to purchase or bring a sleeping bag & pillow. The old saying "if you don't like the weather now, wait 10 minutes, it will change" definitely applies to Alberta weather! You should always be prepared for the worst. We recommend contacting us prior to your departure to review current and forecast weather situations.
