Elk hunting in Alberta
We found 4 hunts
Elk hunting in Alberta is a sleeper option that more and more hunters are discovering—big-bodied Rocky Mountain elk, generous seasons, and classic Canadian wilderness, all accessed through experienced outfitters. Alberta’s elk herd is thriving, with an estimated 40–45,000 animals and expanding distribution from the eastern slopes of the Rockies into the boreal forest, foothills, and parkland zones. Guided elk hunts in Alberta focus on prime areas like the Rocky Mountain and foothill WMUs, the Peace Country, and northern boreal ridges, where elk filter between timber, cutblocks, farmland fringes, and river bottoms. In Alberta, a non-resident hunter on an elk hunt must be accompanied by an Alberta resident hunter (known as hunter host), or licensed hunting guide. Regulations and licensing can be confusing, with most bull elk opportunities available either through a limited-entry draw, or via a licensed Alberta outfitter and allocated tags. Outfitted hunts may not be cheap, but they come with less hunting pressure, excellent age structure, and a realistic chance at 6-point bulls pushing and sometimes exceeding the 300" mark. Guided elk hunts in Alberta deliver that mix of big-antlered bulls, affordable licence fees, and wild, lightly hunted country that makes a Canadian elk adventure stand out.
