This allows our hunters all day action on bucks traveling in search of does. This hunt can also be done with a bow in tight cover on a scrape line from stand. On both hunts clients will be rattling and grunting. Bucks will average between 140 and 165. Every one of our set ups are in spots with at least a 160 to 210 whitetail buck working the area. We will be using game cameras to locate these bucks from September to our November hunt date. Guides living in the area will also be following up on.

Black Bear Hunting This black bear hunt also makes a great combo hunt with one of our other species. Our black bear hunts take place from our main lodge so it is a comfortable hunt. Spring Black Bear hunts are done in a remote area in Alberta using baiting like beavers, honey, cookies and grain with a lot of deep fryer grease. These baits are baited a minimum of 10 days in advance this ensures daily activity with multiple black bears. This hunt can be done from a ground blind or tree stand you will get a rush either way when a big boar comes waddling in.
