Smoky River Outfitting        Greg Sutley      (780) 957-3100       We offer a fall spot and stalk bear hunt in a non baiting zone in Alberta. This area can not be baited so there is no resident or non resident pressure. We own the only private in a zone 100 miles by 100 miles of solid bush country. Every year we shoot a few bears in the field at our lodge. This hunt has been absolutely 100% kill for any hunter lucky enough for a tag. This can be an archery or rifle hunt. For the best fall bear hunt in Alberta give us a try. You may need to plan a couple years in advance or wait for a cancellation for this hunt. I also work with 2 different outfitters on baited hunts in Northern Alberta. Both are great hunts one includes fishing and one is fly in. Each have very up close and personal encounters with multiple bears on bait. Wolves can also be taken on these hunts. All in all awesome remote Alberta Adventures with big bears.

Ells River Black Bear Outfitting        Peter Wuenschel      (780) 356-3935       Ells River Black Bear Outfitting specializes in spring bear hunting only. The 2011 season started off with a bang, A couple of potential Boone and Crockett bears being taken, one with a bow and one with a rifle. Beautiful color and Pope and Young bears were also taken. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had some surprises in store for us this year. Due to safety concerns from the biggest forest fire in Alberta’s history burning to the north of Ells River Outfitting, we had to shut the season down 3 days into the third hunt. Even with this early shut down in the third week, one client limited out with a potential Boone and Crockett and between him and his partner they saw close to twenty bears in those 3 days. Fortunately the area hunted by me was not affected by the forest fire. We are looking forward to an exciting 2012 season with lots of big bears being taken. 2010 spring season was excellent with 15 clients taking 27 bears, many 6 ft plus or better on the square, with 19 inch plus skulls, many over the 300lb mark with a couple pushing 500lbs including a massive color boar. Everybody had opportunities on a second bear. Ells River Black Bear Outfitting's hunting area (~1753 sq Km) is located in the Boreal forest of northern Alberta, northwest of Fort McMurry and south of the largest national park in Canada, Wood Buffalo. Due to winter time oil exploration, new areas previously inaccessible, and never before hunted are now being hunted by Ells River Black Bear Outfitting. Due to the remoteness and lack of local hunting pressure and a carefully managed harvest many bears in my area live to the age needed to produce Pope and Young and Boone and Crockett class trophies and weigh between 400 and 500 lbs. Spring bear hunting is over baits, with a two bear limit. Bears range in color from black to blond and colored bears make up approximately 20 - 30% of the population. All stands are within 25 yards of the baits. Baits are monitored daily. By only having 4 hunters per hunt and only 16 hunters per season allows a hunter to have access to more baits with minimal hunting pressure, resulting in a great opportunity at that trophy bear. Our hunting camps are accessible by ATV only. The base and spike camp both consist of large comfortable heated cabins with beds, a large cook house and outside showers. Hunting is alternated between the 2 camps thus limiting hunting pressure on one area. Meals are home cooked with a varied menu and are down right good. Our goal is to create memories that will last a lifetime by providing a top quality hunting experience, comfortable accommodations, excellent food and the chance to meet and make new friends. To book a hunt you will never forget with Ells River Black Bear Outfitting contact us for more information.

Trophy Book Outfitters        Dan & Leona Hungle      (780) 963-5133       We offer baited and spot & stalk black bear hunts and a two bear limit in prime black bear country. Baiting allows the hunter a close encounter which is ideally suited for the archery and muzzleloader hunter. Rifle hunters are also welcome. Alberta is renowned for its large black bear population and colored bears. Many bears harvested in Alberta over the past years have made the record books. . Baited black bear hunts The best way to look over a good trophy bear is at close range. Baits are set up for shots at 10-20 yards. All of our baits are strategically placed in prime black bear habitat to attract a large number of bears and of course very large bears. Baits are spread over about 50 miles, ensuring we attract many bears to each site and they are not over harvested. Recently we expanded into an adjacent area that has not been baited before. All of our other baits are well established and have multiple black bears on them. Baited bear hunts at our trappers camp This camp is located along the Firebag River adjacent to a trappers compound. This camp is kept small with only two hunters per week. The numerous, well established baits will be hunted by ATV's and a jet boat. This will be a truly memorable experience. Your camera is a must! Baited bear hunts at our remote fly in camp This camp is located about 30 minutes from Ft. McMurray accessible by float plane. This remote camp provides a true wilderness experience located in prime black bear habitat. Much of this area has never been hunted before. The bait sites will be accessed by 4-wheelers and argos. If you would like to hunt in a virgin area over new baits, this may be the hunt for you. Spot & stalk bear hunting Several record book bears have been taken on these hunts including some B&C trophies along with color phases. This is a two bear area northwest of Edmonton with a high wolf population. Wolves can be combined with these bear hunts. The hunt will be mainly by driving the many oil company roads and pipelines in the area with truck and ATV's. Glassing prime feeding areas has been another successful tactic. After the selected trophy has been identified, the hunter and guide will attempt to stalk within comfortable shooting distances. The hunters generally have numerous bear sitings on this hunt, which gives them plenty of opportunity to select the bears of their choice. We pride ourselves in being experienced and credible hunting outfitters and guides, providing the maximum effort to our clients. Join us for a magnificent hunting experience.

This is a remote hunt, all bait stations are only accessible by 4x4 ATV’s. We are very particular on the bears we harvest and if you are looking to harvest just a bear this is not the place for you. We only harvest large mature bears, that square 6’6” or better and some bears will push the 8’ mark and score in the mid 20” range. Our trophy management program and judging system has been flawless! In the last 5 years we have had an incredible average of 6’10”, with 65% making P&Y. We now offer wood bison as an add on if we happen to cross their paths. These buffalo are truly ancient and huge. The two bulls we have harvested scored #5 and #16 in the record book. What an opportunity! Please give us a call with any questions.

None of us would expect anything less on an outfitted hunt. You can be sure everything is taken care of with Garrett Bros. We are a very close family and everything we do, we do as a family, whether it be hunting & fishing, maintaining machinery, building tree stands, hauling gear getting ready for the springs hunt or just messing around. Lorne’s wife Cecilia, Pat’s wife Brandie and Brian’s wife Stacey all enjoy being in the great outdoors and help out with everything right from the paperwork to the welding and mechanical stuff to the baiting and skinning of the bears. Everyone helps out to get the job done. Fly in Bear Camp Located 150 kms north of Fort McMurray this is our most remote bear camp. All of the hunting in this camp is done with four wheel drive ATV’s. Our tent camp is very comfortable with wood stoves for heat & drying clothes, wood floors, comfy cots, a shower with an actual hot water tank and pressure pump and electricity. All of our bait sites are hunted out of tree stands or in the case of the tricky bears ground blinds may be used if the guide and hunter decide to go that route. Our stands are set up so that bow hunters will have no more than a 30 yard shot at a bear that is at the bait site, most are around 20 to 30 yards. The bears in this area are huge with many Pope & Young bears, good number of color phase bears from blonde to cinnamon to black with white blazes. This camp is so remote that the chance of seeing another hunter besides the guys in your camp is slim to none. River Boat Bear Camp Our River boat camp is located 60 kms (40 miles) up the Clearwater river in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, in a very remote location. That afternoon you will be hunting out of one of our tree stands over a well-established bait site. We use river boats, duck boats and aluminum fishing boats to get to and from the bait sites. Our River boat camp on the Clearwater River was a great success this year. We took 38 bears with 26 hunters. Of the 38 bears taken 9 are over 18 inch and 4 of the 9 were over 20 inch. We have just acquired more new boats and ATV’s and with the addition of a few baits on top of the river ridge this upcoming spring is looking great for more massive record book bears. We have never had anyone go home without seeing multiple bears and every year bears are taken in the 7 foot 400 pound range. There is a reason so many hunters rebook with us, we have great guides, we have great cooks, we know how to treat people, we run only the best equipment and we know how to find bears.

North Star Outfitting Ltd.        Neil Johnson      (780) 847-2392       Hunt big bruin blacks and colored bears, no bugs, 5 star lodge, eat like a king and sleep like a rock - that's what you can expect when you hunt with North Star Outfitting! We take 24 bears hunters with about 5-6 hunters per week in ranch country just north of the rich farmland where the food is very plentiful. We are the furthest southeast bear outfitters along the Saskachewan border. Our area is not swamp land so we are not in the bug belt you might say, as the hunters here very rarely use any kind of mosquito or black fly repellent until the last week of may. Our area we hunt is about 500,000 acres. I own 90% of the permits in this area so therefore I hold the key to manage this area. I have 50% color phase and 25% of our bears harvested are over 7ft. We have a 2 bear per hunter quota but I only allow you to harvest 1 - 6 ft colored and the other must be black if you choose to harvest the 2nd bear. I push my hunters to only harvest the very best in size, hide and only boars. You will see between 4-8 bears in a evening and in a full week you will see up towards of 30-40 bears. Our season runs from the 15th of April until the 15th of June. All our hunts are over bait with bait sites at a minimum of 4 miles apart and with shooting distances from stands for bow hunters at 20-25 yds. and rifle hunters from 50-100 yards. I feed the bears as much as possible and I do not limit them to how much they can eat. I believe that if the meal is easy to obtain they will continue to return on a regular basis. Every one thinks hunting bears over bait is like shooting fish in a barrel, well if it was only about killing that might be the case. But harvesting a trophy bear takes careful placement of stands to outsmart the trophy bears we want. Most trophy bears are at least 7 years old or older so you can imagine how many times this bear has come to know how to eat every well and be safe doing so. I have the same guides year to year with knowledge of the area and are very perceptive to scent control around our stands. 100% owner operator, I am hands on outfitter / guide. Be sure to read our black bear hunter testimonials on our website! Come hunt with us and you will not be disappointed.

Although the average time to harvest a cougar on our hunts is 5-6 days, we like our hunters to allow for a 10 day hunt. We like to give ample time to ensure the greatest chance of success. Mule Deer Hunts and Combo Whitetail/Mule Deer Hunts: Our prairie deer hunting is a three-day combination whitetail and mule deer hunt. Although there are good whitetails, these areas are best known for their trophy mule deer. Our mountain zone hunts begins in late September and continues through the end of November. The most productive time to hunt whitetails is the last week of October, when they increase their pre-rut activity. This is when we begin to hunt whitetail deer and mule deer together on our popular six-day combination hunt. Our rifle elk hunts begin in September during the peak of the rut. We hunt on horseback and on foot, glassing and calling. This exciting hunt is in a limited entry area with a 6 point minimum (on one antler) rule, which ensures that mature trophy bulls are available. Our rifle moose hunts begin in September during the peak of the rut. This hunt is conducted in the same area as our elk hunt and similar hunting methods are used. You can combine mule deer, whitetails or black bear with this hunt. Our moose are classified as Shiras moose by Safari Club International and as Canada moose by the Boone & Crockett Club. We have an excellent offer for bowhunters with an elk and moose combination hunt beginning in early in September, at the beginning of the elk rut. 6 day spring black bear hunts run from late April to early May. This is a spot and stalk hunt in an area with a high percentage of color phase bears. Fall black bear season runs from early September until they den, which is usually early November. This is a spot and stalk hunt. Pronghorn antelope hunts have been very successful, with an average harvest size of 15". We offer a 5 day hunt to ensure ample time to see numerous trophy antelope. Wingshooting: We offer wingshooting both as an option on big game hunts and as a stand alone activity. Our bird hunts are 1 - 6 days in length. A wide array of opportunities are available for both waterfowl and upland birds. Our favorite is upland birds over a gun dog. Several species of grouse, plus pheasants and Gray (Hungarian) partridge are available.
