Whitetail deer hunting in Alberta is a real challenge! Generally it
takes a hunter to be patient and in good physical condition. Whitetails
have adapted to the varied terrain in Alberta. In the prairie zone,
deer have learned to be elusive even in the smallest cover area. In
the parkland zone whitetails live in the aspen forest where they can
find many places to go unnoticed. In the boreal forest and foothills
zones, deer have the safety of spruce and aspen forests. Trophy whitetails
are found regularly in all of these zones.
Alberta whitetail deer has the largest bodies and largest antlers
of the many species of whitetails across North America. A mature buck
can weigh in excess of 300 pounds and bigger.
Stand hunting, rattling, grunt calling, still hunting and stalking,
ground blinds and treestands are all effective methods for whitetail
deer hunting. Another technique for rooting out midday bucks from
cover is deer drives, "pushing bush" as it's most commonly
referred to in western Canada. This tactic, while certainly challenging
the shooting skills of the hunter on post, is a highly successful
method for creating opportunities for harvesting huge deer that might
otherwise never show themselves.
In Alberta, the rut, or mating season usually occurs in November.
November is traditionally the best time for whitetail deer hunting
but late August and early September can be productive to the bow hunter
in search of these whitetail bucks.
Alberta Environment estimates the provincial population to be about
232,000 animals. This estimate is based on population counts in selected
areas and hunter harvest information. |
