Moose Hunting
in Alberta
|
Bull moose can weigh over 1000
lbs and stand 7.5 ft.at the shoulder with antlers that can measure
as much as 6 ft.from tip to tip. Outfitters in Alberta have harvested
moose that range in size to 1500 pounds or more and yield antlers
in the 45-50 inch range with the top end of mature bull moose in the
60 inch class. Canada moose hunting is amazing due to Alberta's new
moose management program ensuring that overharvest is not a problem.
What this means for the moose hunter is better quantity and quality
- many of which have made the Boone & Crockett record book!
Most of the prime moose hunting in Alberta
is along the foothills in central Alberta heading north to the Northwest
Territories border. In Alberta, moose are common throughout the foothills,
mountain and boreal forest zone and have been increasing in the parkland
and prairies. Moose prefer muskegs, brushy meadows and small groves
of aspen or coniferous trees, particularly where such habitat adjoins
lakes, ponds or streams. Moose hunts can take place in feeding areas,
logged blocks, natural mineral licks, lakes, cutlines and riverbanks
as well. The habitat for moose is plentiful.
Moose hunting begins in late August and
in some zones run through mid December. However, most hunts occur
in mid September through early October when the rut is in full swing.
Those who have experienced it will tell you that calling a trophy
bull and watching him approach you is a real adreniline rush! Spot
and stalk becomes the norm for moose hunting throughout the Province
once the rut is over. You can still get record book trophy bulls after
the rut has ended as they become more mobile and predictable. Alberta
is a moose hunters paradise.
Anyone contemplating moose hunting
in Alberta should come fully prepared for extremes weather and terrain
because of the rugged habitats the moose live in. Many moose hunting
zones are only accessible by float planes and hunts are done out of
boats or in remote areas in canoes, "calling" the moose
to the shoreline. These hunts are true northern adventures and not
for the weary. Where access is available, moose hunts can be conducted
on quads, argos, even on horseback in the foothills region |
