  • Another successful rut hunt with another great hunter and person. Stalking, calling and just plain patience lead to this huge bull. Success is our goal.
  • My grandson, Rylan, with his first bull moose. This 40 incher was take at a range of 500 plus yards. He took a couple of shots to anchor this guy. Not bad for a first moose hunt.
  • Another bull in the high 40s and once again taken with a single shot. Early morning stalking in an area I knew had a bull and a cow. Once shot and my hunter was tagged out. Perfect.
  • First day calls from a small rut hole. Next morning the rut hole was bigger so a couple more calls then moved downwind. At 30 yards Sabastian put his shot in the bulls chest. A nice 42 inch bull.
  • 9 by 10 point bull moose in the low 50s made for a very happy hunter. When an outfitter has great clients there is no better career than outfitting. This guy certainly made for a good week of company. Thanks.
  • 50 inches of bull moose puts it close to the record book depending of quality. This trophy is close so not bad for a trophy collection and a dream come true. A nice shot and a quality bull moose made for a happy hunter.
  • Our first hunt for the fall and the first moose called in. Sabastian started his hunt, Sept. 9 and tagged this bull Sept. 10. No time was wasted when this bull came to the guide's call and Sabastian hit the mark. What a great hunt and what a great person. A real pleasure having this hunting in our camp. We hope to be hunting with you again in the future. Thanks again.
  • Larry took his bull his first day on his hunt. Another bull off a logging block but this time one mile in and what a job getting it to the truck then into the truck. Along with the sweat and hard labor came many laughs as we struggled to load 1200 pounds of meat and hide. The job got done and we were headed back to camp with big smiles. What a great hunter and a big thanks for such a great visit. Thanks.
  • Early morning on a new logging block this bull was gathered with a couple cows. At first light, Dave, silently stepped over the last little ridge on the logging trail and sighted in on his trophy. An enjoyable hunt even after getting stuck with the truck in trying to get where we could load his moose. This was a fun day by all and a decent trophy for his wall. Congratulations on your trophy, Dave.
  • 6 time return hunter, friend and a great sport. His dad hunted 11 times and his two uncles hunted 10 times each. They have all taken trophy antlers and all have been happy with every hunt they have been on. Tom took this early morning moose and in a couple hours we had it hanging on the meat poles in camp and were back out to pick up his friends moose. In 3 days all 5 hunters in camp had filled their tags.
  • Guide, Heather, showed her hunter 5 bulls sleeping in an opening along the road. Thinking they picked out the largest her hunter, Doug, let fly and dropped this 50 inch rack. When the 4 remaining bulls ran they observed that one was much wider and had many more points. However, Doug was very happy to take home this trophy. We skidded this 1600 pound body out of the brush with our quad. What a pull.
  • A 10 by 10 point bull moose with a spread of near 50 inches. A nice rack for the hunter and Sean stands with a smile beside this trophy. Like all our moose trophies this rack has great color which really adds to the trophy when on the wall. Another great hunt and all 5 guys tagged out in 3 days on this hunt and on the next hunt all 5 hunters tagged out in 2 days. Fantastic!
  • Ken hunted a mid October hunt for a trophy moose. Here is his trophy bull moose and pretty nice bull at that. It wasn\'t long before all hunters tagged out and we had days to tell stories and tell our special techniques on just how to get the next bull. A drink or two was exchanged but mostly stories. Good hunting Ken and I hear your moose meat is very tasty.
  • This mid Sept. hunt kicked out butts with a full moon and some rain but Klint came through on his last day nailing this rutting bull at 150 yards. No monster of a rack but hunting in the elements nature gave us this bull was better than no bull and he did not pass up his opportunity to be successful. My hunter was happy and had some great tasting meat for his table.
  • My guide who has been with me for a great many years holds a 48 inch bull with well balanced antlers. He is also a trapper so very knowledgeable about the forest and the animals he guides for. He is a first class guide/hunter who cares more about getting your trophy than you do. The best anywhere.
  • Not all hunters get bulls in the 50 to 60 inch class but as usual our trophies keep coming in. Brian was super happy with this 48 inch trophy and wasted no time in knocking him to the ground. He and his dad only took a few days to fill their tags with above average racks. Thanks and we wish you both all the best.
  • Nick and his son both took home great bulls while on their moose hunt with us. Rut season is always one of the better times for moose hunting and this one was no different. Through calling by his guide and a bit of patience this 55 inch bull stepped out and became an exceptional trophy.
  • This man from Australia, John, was the most entertaining hunter in years. After a bad hunt in another province he choose us for this second try and look at his success. This 50 inch rack and a brown colored black bear were his trophies. I plan to visit him next year and hunt in his country with him. Thanks for choosing us as your outfitter.
  • Gary took a longer shot and nailed his young bull early into his hunt. 400 yards and this bull was now his trophy. 10 minutes later his hunting partner for the day got his 50 rack no more than 200 yards from this bull. Thanks for being in our moose camp. You are a fun hunter and a pleasure to be around.
  • Only a couple days into his hunt Wayne nailed this 48 inch bull and had his dream come true. Late Oct. hunt produced this exceptional trophy. Pleasant and full of laughs only tells part of his character. A great guy and a big thanks for coming with your nephew. Hoping all your hunts are as successful.
  • Derek and his uncle choose a late Oct. hunt and took home two great trophies. This bull was the smallest of the two and measured about 45 inches across. His skill at tracking and stalking his trophy landed him a bull deep in the woods in an early snowfall. But he had his trophy only a few days into his hunt.
  • Another mid September hunt produced this younger bull packing a 36 inch rack. Calling and patience waiting on stand or behind some type of blind usually pay off. This bull was no different than the rest and made the mistake of showing himself in the wrong place. A nice trophy for the wall.
  • 61.5 inches of monster bull moose taken less than an hour after calling. A rack for anyone and a super specieman for the Canadian species of moose. Not all moose get to be this size so lower your sights but try for the best and here is where you find the best. Our camp, our guides and the forests they hunt.
  • Thanks to, Mark, for giving us a chance to take him to his trophy bull moose. A great guy who hunted hard and took home this great bull after 4 days of hunting. I truly wish I had gotten to know him better but his wife was waiting for him in town, so.. . must leave early. He says the meat is great and he is more than happy with his trophy moose rack. All the best on your future hunts.
  • This trophy bull showed up at the wrong time. Guide, Rick, did some calling on an old clearing but had no response. They hunted elsewhere for mid day then returned to the clearing to finish off the day with more calling and hopefully catch an evening bull looking for a mate. This guy walked out shortly after they arrived and David\'s bullet dropped him in his tracks. What a trophy.
  • Art Bundy came back again to hunt with us for the fifth time this fall. He was searching for another moose to add to the moose he had taken the year before. He made a great shot from 375 yards on this nice moose. He has taken mule deer and bears on his moose hunts on previous trips and continues to hunt with us each year. He\'s a great hunter, and a great friend and we love having him return year after year.
  • What a monster moose. Both Joe and his brother tagged exceptional wall hangers. Their mid September hunt proved very rewarding for this group with other mid sizes trophy moose as well. Thanks guys for being part of our season.
  • His wife, Tiff, did all the planning. Hoping to get the right outfitter she booked a moose hunt with us for her husband Marty and her father. Each tagged great bulls. Marty\'s bull hit the ground hard with a heart shot and broke the left antler inward but not totally off. Look closely to see the crack near the base. Still it measures around 50 inches. His taxidermist will fix this trophy for a great wall mount. Good going Marty.
  • Mark, a return hunter and just an all around good guy has taken bear and moose from my camp on different hunts. This coming spring season he is planning for another bear. This last fall he tagged this excellent monster bull with 10 points on each side. What a great trophy it will make for his trophy room. I enjoy his company each time he comes. So nice to have return clients too.
  • They came into camp excited and ready for a successful hunt. Clarence\'s (bubba\'s) bull taken the first day measured over 40 inches, his son-in-law\'s taken later in the hunt measured around 50 inches. Super good guys and I was lucky to have them hunt with my outfit. This bull will make excellent steak, burger and of course with Clarence\'s special recipe some great jerky.
  • This is the 4th. time, Art has hunted in my camp. He has taken brown and black black bear, mule deer and now this young 33 inch bull on his 3rd day with an off hand shot at 250 yards. Taken through the lungs the bull did his short run before side swiping a large pine tree then pilling into the moss covered ground. We took the photo as he lay with the evidence scattered on his antlers and head.
  • Guide Sean and his hunter, preparing to drag this monster bull to his pickup. Taken off a logged of block in the woods this bull was too heavy to get out any other way. These remote logging areas provide us with many large bulls each season.
  • Last season we took several bulls around the 50 inch mark. Many were in the record book class but all were trophies for the hunter who harvested each bull moose. Here Rick smiles for the camera as he kneels beside an 1800 pound moose. What a trophy.
  • Check out the spread on this bull. Hard to find anywhere other than our hunting area. We took several bulls this season as large as Kyle\'s shown in this photograph. He has a trophy and a memory to last him for many years. We are so pleased to be able to provide trophies of this caliber.
  • Joshua\'s monster bull moose taken off a logged over block of forest. His father also shot at a bull a bit larger than this one. During the late part of the rut both bulls were herding cows in different areas and feeding on fresh sapling regrowth. Feeding most at nights hunters had to be in position at first and last light for their trophy of a lifetime.
  • Taken on a logging block this bull hit the ground and gave Casey an excellent trophy he is proud to own. Logging blocks supply us with a good assortment of trophies to record book class. Thanks to a great group of guys for participating in our moose season.
  • Carl, the retired firefighter, didn\'t wait for the 50 inch bull moose that he wanted. Instead he took the first bull he saw his first day. Not a bad trophy for the first bull of his hunt. Check out the rich color and the thickness of the antlers.
  • After loosing a bull on his first day I made no mistakes on what to do the second day of my long time friend\'s 10th. moose hunt with my outfit. Jon patiently waited and watched on a logging block until evening when I snuck up a trail to another rut hole near the top of the logging block. In less than 5 minutes this bull was on the ground.
  • A quiet hunter with a deadly shot. His young bull didn\'t have a chance and Ross got to take home a trophy for his wall. Taken on a late, September hunt that was filled with all kinds of weather from snow to rain to hot days
  • An average spread but a bit short on palm and paddle. Robert is pleased to pose with his trophy taken with a single shot. Robert\'s bullet impacted the bull squarely and nearly all of the lead stayed together, a perfect mushroom. This mid season rut bull is not yet mature but he was heavy into looking for cows.
  • Check out the weight of the brow tines on Patti\'s bull moose. This spirited lady opened up on this bull and ended up with a 42\' inch wide trophy for her wall. An average sized set of antlers and a very impressive trophy that most would be proud to own. Her husband also tagged his bull in a clearing.
  • Kirby, a great guy and a great hunter. he and his guide called in this bull within 15 yards of their position. One shot put this monster trophy on the ground. Another successful mid October hunt and another 100% season.
  • A real trophy for anyone\'s wall. November moose are usually comparable to the rut moose when it comes to the size of antlers. Often the average is a bit higher for November moose. Perhaps the best month for the larger trophies.
  • Another huge bull on a November hunt. A bit of snow and cool temperatures did not stop Jim from taking this record book bull out of a group of seven bulls that were feeding on a logging block. His eight day hunt showed him 20 cows and 11 bulls. A best time of year for hunting.
  • Return client, Jack, tagged again. Feeding on saplings on a logging block with 4 other bulls this one did not escape Jack\'s sights and provided him with another trophy bull in the low 40s. A good friend, a great hunter and a return client and a pleasure to have in camp.
  • Two forty inch bulls taken on a mid October hunt. Together they fed on a logging block with 3 others. These were the two that didn\'t run for the heavy timber and made another successful hunt for these return clients.
  • Garry took the first bull he could. Both him and his son took home meat bulls and the report is, \
  • Donny, and his group have hunted before and were as much fun this time as they were on their first hunt here. A great group of guys who enjoy their hunting and just being out. Don poses behind his moose for a photo for my web site. A smaller rack than he took on his first hunt but still a nice trophy.
  • What a well balanced set of antlers. An average sized bull with a mirror image. This bull and another were selected out of a small group of moose and taken seconds apart in a deep valley. The two hunters and their guide have a hard work story to tell.
  • Taken on the edge of a logged off block of woods. These clear cuts have always been a prime areas for us to find quality bulls. Clint poses with his brothers trophy. A mid sized rack sporting 9 points on each side. This bull will make an excellent trophy for the wall.
  • A record book moose and another happy hunter. Clayton proudly shows off his trophy on the skinning table. Way up in the books this monster bull was held by my yearning cow call giving another client a successful memory. Many more of these trophy bulls roam our hunting areas.
  • Held by my cow call this monster bull, scoring well above minimum for SCI, made the fatal mistake of looking too long for his second cow. My New Zealand hunter took home a trophy beyond his expectations. What a huge bull, what a happy hunter.
  • Among other large trophies taken on our late, Sept. moose hunt this photo shows the big and the small. Shawn and his son, Kyle proudly hold their moose for the camera. Kyle\'s moose measured 49.5 inches. Great guys to have in camp.
  • During a surprise snowfall late, Sept. David, took his bull amid the falling flakes. Check out this unique set of moose antlers with double palms and shovels and the richness in color. What a trophy for anyone. A great guy, a great hunter. Thanks for coming to my camp.
  • A late rut hunt with freezing temperatures at night this bull hung with a cow on a logged over area. The lush regrowth is excellent feed for moose during the fall and winter season. November is one of the best times to hunt these logged areas. An average antlered bull of about 36 inches.
  • What can I say about this first time moose hunter. \
  • November hunting often produces larger antlers. Bulls begin to yard up in late October after the rut season in feeding areas. Most often large groups of bulls can be found with all sizes of antlers. Guide Rick, holds a 52 inch early Nov. bull taken from a group of seven.
  • Hunting logging blocks always seems to produce numerous moose to choose from. Many times we have seen more than 20 moose on winter cut blocks feeding on the tender aspen leaves and young shoots from summer\'s growth. This happy client chose a bull in the low 40\'s. A great trophy and a great hunter.
  • The largest body weight of any bull moose in the previous 2 years to reach our local butcher. Ten year return client, Jon, stands beside his monster bull, his 10th bull in our camp. A tough animal with one broken antler and one blind eye. Someone is bigger!
  • Logging blocks are excellent areas to hunt November moose usually offering several bulls to look at. Out of this group of 4 bulls Jason took the one closest to him and bagged his first trophy moose. A well balanced set of antlers that will look great as a shoulder mount in his house.
  • Dick fired on his bull from a long distance with 3 successful shots tagging himself an average bull he was proud to own. A excellent shooter and a great guy to have in camp. This hunt took place during early, October when the bulls were hard in the rut. A great time to hunt.
  • Each of the many years Jon has hunted moose in my camp he has tagged his bull and has taken trophies from small to huge. This bull scores 226 unofficial, and is his best of his seasons here. This addicted moose hunter plans to take another trophy bull home this fall.
  • Two young bulls on the meat pole make excellent eating and are a favourite hunt for many clients. Non trophy hunters often take the 6 day hunt and most will tag their animal early in their hunt. Logging blocks offer an excellent source of food and many young bulls gather in these open areas. Great hunting for meat bulls and great fun.
  • Two great hunters to have in camp and two record book moose. Herb took his trophy bull the first day of his 8 day hunt and Stan waited until day 7 to harvest his monster bull. An overnight in a fly camp put us at a remote lake early the last morning. We watched this bull as he followed 400 yards of open grass shore on his way to my call.
  • Ernie wanted a record book or nothing. After seven days of passing up small moose, this giant came to my call. A 400 yard shot gave him a trophy well up into the record books. One of Alberta\'s largest bulls taken with just under a 60 inch spread.
  • My wife Bev is on the left, accompanied by guide Heather and her daughter Corina. Newly constructed cabins in the background house up to 4 clients each. Equipped with propane heat and light, a bucket of water, a sink, and four beds, their first tenants this year gave them very positive comments.
