More about us
Our company was established in 2024 and operates in 1 territory.
- Hunting isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are. Born and raised in Alberta, I’ve spent my life here, forging deep connections with local landowners and gaining exclusive access to some of the province’s best hunting grounds. With over 20 years of guiding experience, I’ve built it on the principles of hard work, integrity, and a deep respect for both the land and the animals we pursue.
- We’re a low-volume outfitter by choice, welcoming only a select number of hunters each season. This ensures every guest receives our full attention and the best chance at success, while also fostering the close-knit, welcoming atmosphere we’re known for.
- Our hunts are about more than just taking game; they’re about sharing an authentic, unforgettable experience in Alberta’s breathtaking wilderness. Every hunter and every trip is unique, and we tailor each hunt to fit your goals and style. Many of our hunters return year after year—drawn back not just by the trophy-caliber opportunities, but by the personal touch and genuine care that define every hunt.
- If you’re ready for the hunt of a lifetime, we’d love to welcome you. Here, every hunt is personal, every experience unforgettable—and the memories you make will last long after the season ends.
About this hunt
There's nothing quite like the sound of a bull elk screaming through the timber on a cool September morning. When the rut is in full swing, bulls are gathering cows, challenging one another, and responding to calls. For a bowhunter, few experiences compare to having a mature bull answer your bugle and come looking for a fight.
Join us for a fully guided archery elk hunt in the remote wilderness of northern Alberta. Our hunting area offers a vast mix of mature timber, cutlines, river bottoms, and natural openings that provide excellent elk habitat and the opportunity to pursue mature bulls.
This is an active, on-foot hunt where we focus on locating bulls, listening for bugles, and working our way into position. Calling is a big part of our approach, and there's nothing quite like having an aggressive bull close the distance, sometimes presenting shot opportunities inside 30 yards. Every encounter is different, and the unpredictability of the rut is what makes these hunts so exciting.
Our hunts are based out of a remote wilderness camp, allowing us to spend our days deep in elk country without the distractions of everyday life. Expect early mornings, long days in the timber, and evenings back at camp sharing stories around the fire and preparing for the next day's hunt.
We take a limited number of hunters each season and put considerable time into scouting and preparing for our hunts. This is a genuine backcountry hunting experience that rewards patience, determination, and a willingness to put in the miles.
If you've always wanted to experience the thrill of calling a screaming bull elk into bow range, Alberta's September rut is hard to beat. Come join us for an unforgettable week in elk country.
