Rifle & Archery Elk Rut Hunt
We have guaranteed rifle elk permits during the peak of the rut not many places in North America can offer this. Our areas elk population has been growing steadily since I started outfitting in 1997. We now have elk everywhere in our zone they used to be in our zone, they used to be in select pockets here and there but have spread throughtout. As the numbers increase so does the size. This is an exciting hunt with great rutting action at close range due to heavy cover.

We offer a limited amount of elk hunts each year. You will have a chance to see a number of bulls over the 3 point minimum. The elk we have taken range from 200 to 350 Boone and Crockett points.

These rut hunts are along the Simmonette River accessible by Argo and ATV. This is a rifle or bowhunt during the peak of rut. Bulls are called in, most within 50 yards due to the heavy cover and intense rut.

Archery Only Elk Rut Hunt – This hunt takes place in tight cover with bulls bugling hard this will give the most experienced hunter a rush like never before. We only take up to 4 archery elk hunters a year so space is limited this keeps success rates high.

Archery, rifle, or muzzleloader you choose. We are experienced with all three. You will not find an outfit with better success on fair chase bulls in North America.

Please send us an email or visit our website for more information or to book your Elk hunt with us.

    Lost Guide Outfitters is a small but Very Experienced operation, we have been in the outfitting business for over 20 years and have lived, ranched, trapped and hunted in this area for over 40 years.

    Mountain Elk Hunts:
    Our Mountain elk hunts start on September 17 and run until the end of November. The areas we hunt are the upper Clearwater River valley, Lost Guide Lake and Forbidden Creek. It is bordered on the west by Banff National Park and to the south by the Ya ha Tinda Ranch which is one of the largest elk wintering areas in western Canada. The upper portion of our area is closed to motorized vehicles and is accessible by horseback or team and wagon only. The elk are still in the rut in September and early October and hunting during this time can be quite successful. Due to the high altitude and early winter conditions we try to be out of our upper camp by the end of October. If you desire a late mountain hunt we would hunt the lower end of our mountain area until the end of November. which is accessible by ATV.

    Our mountain hunting area is a trophy only zone - 6 point or larger bulls are the only elk taken. We average 300-320 B&C with some bulls as large as 370 B&C. Our success rate over the last 3 years is about 75% kill and 90% opportunity. These hunts are 10 days and are run out of our very comfortable tent camp during the September & October hunts and from our mobile bunkhouse for the November hunts.

    Ranchland Elk Hunts:
    Ranchland elk hunts are on or around our ranch and take place from November 1-November 30. These hunts are on and around our ranch which is located on the edge of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains northwest of Calgary.

    We have lived here for many years and we know the area very well. We have access to some very good private and public land. This is a 6 day spot and stalk hunt. This hunting area allows for an elk 3 points or larger. While this hunt is not as physical as our mountain hunts, it is still and exciting hunting experience with a lot of big bulls in the area. Accommodations are at my ranch or a nearby guest ranch, depending on the number in your party.

    If you want a truly personalized hunt you need to hunt with Lost Guide Outfitters. Please contact us at the phone number, email address or mailing address supplied.

    My elk/mule deer combination hunts run for 10 days and starts around the 17th of September. This way we can rifle hunt elk during the rut (bugle) season. These hunts are a very physical hunt due to the rough country. It is important to be in the best shape you can be in. These hunts are horseback hunts in the high mountains out of comfortable tent camps. The altitude you will be hunting is from 5,000 to 8,000 feet. This is a one on one hunt, with only four hunters in camp.

    Archery Elk Hunts
    We offer elk bowhunts on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, right in the Highwood River pass where the elk live. The elk herds are abundant and quality bulls are achievable. Our guides have lived and hunted in this area their whole lives; they know the land as well as the elk. The land in this area is primarily pasture and river bottoms with willow choked draws. Spot and stalk is the method of choice for hunting this vast open terrain. The guides will do their best to get you within your bow range.

    We hunt during the rut by stalking and calling bugling bulls up and down creek valleys or we track and lay in ambush at natural licks, and feeding areas. In September, bulls are responding well to challenge calls, looking for some confrontation to defend their cows. In this area there are minimal point requirements for the antlers, low hunting pressure and successful tag management which leave a lot of room for excellent trophy potential.

    Cougar hunting in Alberta takes place during the winter months of December, January and February. 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.

    We begin our rifle elk hunts in late October and run them through November. During this time winter conditions are in your favour by bringing the elk herds out of the timber to easier grazing areas.

    Our region features a vast population of quality elk hunting. Having the Rocky Mountains as our western boundary then flowing down into the rolling foothills, allows for multiply hunting opportunities. Whether you enjoy riding on horseback, quading the back trails, hiking the rolling hills or scouting the area from the pick-up, our location caterers to all ages and physical abilities.

    We have two unique elk hunts, one in the mountains during peek rut and another late season hunt in the foothills. Both are spot and stalk hunts. Weather permitting both areas can offer premier fair chase elk hunts.

    The mountain hunt is a 6 day archery hunt during the peak rut. This consists of a wall tent camp. Hunting will be scouting from a truck and either making foot stocks, hunting from horse back into remote areas or quading up the trails.

    The late season hunt is a combination hunt with rifle mule deer. These hunts are in the foothills which are run out of our hunting cabin. We like to run these hunts the end of November allowing for snow to bring the elk herds down and onto the rolling hills. This allows for the elk to be spotted easier and to know where the main herds are.

    All hunts are one on one guided, and a maximum of four clients per week to ensure quality hunts. We strive to ensure all of our hunters are looked after in a professional manner. We take pride in our operation and what we have to offer.

    Please give Centerfire Outfitters a call if you are interested in this hunt. We look forward to hearing from you and customizing your hunt to make it a trip of a life time.

    Our elk hunts are six full hunting days in length. Elk were transplanted into the Peace River country years ago and now the herds have expanded to generate excellent success rates.

    The area we hunt is large, which affords us different opportunities and options during the elk hunt. The Peace River country is mostly agricultural, which provides an excellent food source. The Peace and Smoky River valleys and their tributaries provide great cover. This combination makes for tremendous habitat that supports an abundance of wildlife including trophy class elk.

    Hunts are conducted from our 4,700 square foot log lodge which has all the modern conveniences, including telephone, internet access, hot showers and satellite television. This makes for a very comfortable hunt and a great place to socialize with the other hunters when you are not in the field. Most of our guides are local and have been with us for several years, so they are very familiar with the country and the local land owners.

    Contact us to book your next elk hunt in Alberta. We provide quality hunts at a reasonable price. You will not be disappointed by choosing Green Island Outfitters.


    Elk Hunting in Alberta

    Alberta Rocky Mountain elk is hard to match! A non-typical in 1999 that scored over 440 inches is credited to several mild winters, better management and more knowledgeable outfitters. Elk hunting in Alberta is getting better every year. There are more record book bulls being taken than ever before.

    Elk hunting is very challenging, but the rewards are impressive! Between 850 and 1000 pounds, a bull elk is outsized by only the moose in Alberta. The antlers are usually chocolate brown, except for the tips, which are polished ivory-white. An adult bull's antlers will usually weigh about 12 pounds per side and extend about 50 inches in length. Non-residents are only permitted to shoot six-point or better bulls in most zones and this management regime allows the majority of bulls to reach maturity, resulting in a higher than average number of trophy bulls. Alberta’s elk mature quickly and it is not uncommon for three-year-old bulls to sport 6x6 racks. An elk with a total of 12 antler points (6x6) is called a ''royal" bull; one with 14 points (7X7) is an "imperial" and one with 16 points (8X8) is a monarch.

    Alberta's, some 26,000 elk are found mostly along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in the high basins and foothills zones, The elk have been migrating to the boreal forest and parkland regions over the last several years. If you are up for a rugged hunt by horseback in remote camps, you'll want to plan your elk hunting trip in the mountain or foothill zones. If you want to go the "old fashioned way" in a truck, quad or on foot, you'll enjoy the hunts in the boreal forest and parkland zones. Any way you choose, you'll have the opportunity to see monster elk!

    Archery elk hunting begins in late August and early September and is permitted in most zones before the rifle season begns. There are two archery-only zones that have excellent trophy elk. During the early hunts, when the elk are in rut, the favored method of hunting is bugling and cow calling, trying to draw the bull to you rather than you going to it. Elk are one of the few members of the deer family that gather and protect a harem of cows during the rut. By bugling, it is possible to convince the herd bull that you are trying to steal his cows and he will come to challenge you. The rut often lasts into mid-October and the action can be as good, if not better, at this time of year, as bulls compete to find the few remaining open cows. As the rut draws to a close, bulls leave the cows and begin to form bachelor herds that will often remain together until the following year’s rut. Spot and stalk becomes the method of choice now, as bulls are drawn to prime feeding areas to replenish fat reserves for the impending winter.

    As elk are big animals, rifles like the .300 or .338 are preferred, although many bulls are shot each year with the trusty .270 or 7mm. The key is to have a rifle you are comfortable with and that you shoot well. Precise shot placement is critical, as a marginally hit bull can go for miles. Rifles should be sighted in for 250 yards for late-season hunts. For early-season bugling hunts, shots are usually under 100 yards and sometimes as close as 30.
