1 HORSEBACK HUNT FOR DALL SHEEP
AVAILABLE DUE TO CANCELATION

Last fall this outfit took 21 rams for their hunters, including an 82-year old hunter and 2 archers, one using a long bow.  The average ram was over 11 years in age and measured in the 37-inch class.  Quite a few of the hunters added mountain caribou on a trophy fee, with some scoring well over 400 inches.

This is a small family operation that has exclusive guiding rights to over 7,000 square miles.  In 2011 they had 17 sheep rifle hunters take 16 full curl rams.  They also hosted 3 bowhunters and they took 2 rams and the unsuccessful hunter cut some hair and later broke his bow. 

The outfitter rotates his sheep camps to prevent over hunting pressure and this provides more mature full curl rams.  There has never been any resident pressure of any kind in this area.  He also has an elaborate base camp including a hydroelectric plant that produces power for all the comforts of home along with email.  Most hunters tag out early and upon return to base camp enjoy some fantastic lake trout and grayling fishing just outside the cabin door.

Hunts start July 15.. 12-day horseback hunts are $21,000 plus preservation fund of $100 and 2 1/2 percent tax. Mountain caribou can be taken for a $4,000 trophy fee and last fall success was again 100 percent, with the top bull grossing 435 Boone and Crockett and out of the 16 bulls taken 4 more would book.

Hunters charter from Norman Wells for approximately $1,000 roundtrip.  HCU’s Cliff Graham and Bob Wodzisz have hunted out of this camp.  Hunt DS250.

RARE OPENINGS AVAILABLE FOR
SMALL ALBERTA OUTFITTER
AVERAGING 160+ SCORE

This outfitter has 5 openings available due to repeats having to cancel for this year!  Last year they killed a monster that was over 200 inches, a heavy 7x4 with a drop tine that went 182 inches and averaged over 160!  That is an awesome average for whitetails!

In 2011 they took a 169, 165 and a 155-inch buck.  What hurts his numbers is he has a group of 3 hunters from Texas that rebook this hunt every year and they have taken nice bucks so their limit has been 170 inches or better the past several years.

2010 the best buck taken gross scored 186 Boone and Crockett.  They also took a 4x4 scoring 160 and another 150 plus buck.  In 2009 the best buck went over 175. 

This outfitter is an hour and half north of Edmonton and he hunts 70 percent private farmland and about 30 percent bush.  He has dates open for November 10-17 and November 17-24 and has 6 tower stands and 4 ground blinds, all heated.  Hunts are Sunday to Sunday, 6 hunting days for $5,000 plus license.  Ranch house accommodations, home cooked meals and Edmonton airport pickup is included. 

He will take one or two archers in late October for $3,500 for 6 days and more days can be added.  He also offers 6-day moose hunts for $4,500 in early November.  Hunt WD832.
