.hunting with hounds really makes the hunt memorable

I gave this hunt to my partner as a present for his 50th birthday. We both never hunted before. Sergio made this a once in a lifetime experience for us. Not only did we take home two really nice bucks and wonderful memories, but also it feels like we made a new friend. One we can learn from and have a lot of fun with. Thanks Sergio!!

This hunt was wonderful. The outfitter is extremely organized and professional. The guides were excellent. They knew the game and showed great respect for the animals hunted and taken. Game was plentiful and good quality and age class.

All the blinds and the animals along with great food. They treated you like their own

Hunting with Alberta Wild was my first ever guided hunt experience. The owners (Rick & Derek) and their guides worked really hard for our group during the week long hunt. Unfortunately none of us tagged elk but I got close. We got shafted by the weather most of the week with very high winds which made calling for bulls almost impossible. This was not the guides fault as nobody can control the weather. This is a rugged hunt and your success and enjoyment will rely on your physical fitness. I hiked 87.9km total over the seven days. This was up and down rugged ridges and through steep drainages. Just know what you’re getting yourself into. The guys won’t put you in a position where you could get hurt or can’t physically get in/out somewhere due to poor physical fitness, and they pay close attention to how their clients are handling it. They can also take you to more open cut blocks which are easier to access. I got myself ready for this trip by working out and walking with a weighted pack for a number of months before the trip. The accommodations were excellent. Our group of hunters was in a large canvas wall tent with a stove and very comfortable cots. I ate like a king all week. I’d get up in the morning, eat breakfast, hunt all morning, come back to camp and eat to my hearts content for lunch. Then I’d nap, and hunt again for the evening. Once we got back, supper was always great. They have numerous snacks on standby when it’s not meal time and numerous choices for non-alcoholic drinks. You definitely won’t go hungry on this hunt. The hunting was tough but I enjoyed myself and learned a lot. On day five we hiked in close to a bull elk and his cows. The bull bugled multiple times at my guide who continued to call back at him. Eventually the bull stepped into partial view at ~120 yards and I had an opportunity for a good shot, but we had to confirm he was of legal size. I got to watch the bull destroy a tree with his antlers in anger that we were so close to his cows. By the time we could confirm he was of legal size to shoot (legal size is six points on one antler), the bull winded us and had moved into dense brush again, disappearing like a ghost. On day seven we got onto a bull early. We chased this bull for two hours through some extremely steep drainages. We got caught unexpectedly as the bull came back towards us looking for a fight. He was within 30 yards on the ridge above us. The bull made some of the loudest vocalizations I’ve ever heard an animal make. Loud barks and bugles echoed through the drainage around us. He caught our wind and disappeared over the next ridge. I never got a shot, but it was an incredible experience. If you’re doing the rifle hunt you should be ready for shots as close as 30 yards if you’re hunting down in the thick brush. If you’re up in some of the open cut blocks you could expect a shot up to 400 yards. The short of it is, be ready and proficient enough for close/long shots. Shooting sticks don’t really work here so be ready for free-hand/bracing against a tree in odd positions to make a shot. If you’re looking for an adventure then look no further than these guys.

We did a variety of hunting. Free Range , hiking , helicopter , and preserve. Guide was knowledgable and worked hard. My wife went and stayed in a town with a lot to dip while I was gone. Highly recommend Ewan. Any questions please reach out to me.

we had a very nice hunt,the hunting guides are very professional and know the area very well. I would definitely Go hunting in the area again.

Hector and Gina have a wonderful staff and they were excellent at providing us the exact experience we were looking for. They tailored the hunts and locations so we were able to encounter large quantities of doves. You are only limited by time and number of shells you choose to purchase. Hospitality was excellent. Food was delicious and presented beautifully. Would definitely return here and recommend to our friends!
