Situated 160 miles northwest of Edmonton, this bear hunt offers a real opportunity to take a larger than average black bear. Many of the bears taken here will exceed the Pope and Young or Boone and Crockett minimums with a good number of them squaring out at or near the 6 foot mark.

Hunters stay at the outfitters home where home cooked meals and comfortable beds await at the end of each day. Spot and stalk hunting is an adrenaline filled adventure while baiting allows for a closer inspection of each bear before the decision is made to take the shot. Both methods are highly successful and are employed depending on location and hunter preference.

The black bear population and density is incredibly high in this part of Alberta allowing for hunters to take more than one bear if they want. Some hunters choose to take a good bear early in their hunt and then spend the remainder of their time searching for something special. That may be a giant bruin or one of the color phase bears that are in the area. Colors range from a solid black to a chocolate brown to some blonde. With this many bears, hunters can to take their time searching for the perfect trophy.
