Looking for any info or help on Elk hunting in Alberta. My father and I have spoken with an outfitter from Calgary and are considering this hunt. I just haven't been able to locate any solid info on the net concerning the elkherd in Canada. It is a twelve day hunt that takes place the last two weeks in Sept. I can't imagine a better time to elk hunt.The hunt also includes Muley's , Whitetail and bear. All we have to do is purchase the tags (OTC) and there is no extra cost from the outfitter. I just hate to spend 5 figures without any solid info. Thanks for any help.
 
There are a couple of regulars on here like BCBOY that live in Canada and could help you out. Hopefully one or more respond and if not, send BC, Joebuck, MattB, Ogopogo or BCWill an email and they can help you in your decision...... Thanks, Allen Taylor......
 
hello,my name is Scott. I am from Calgary,Alberta and yes there is Elk here. lots and Big but as any were they are difficult to hunt.i have been hunting big game for only a few years and up until this past season having no luck. we have had a few dry years lately but this year we had a good spring snow pack and lots of game were taken this year.in our group (10 or so) we bagged 5 bulls.many deer as well.mine was the biggest a nice 6x6 that is expected to score around 360 typical.Alberta has lots to offer when it comes to game ( record size for all species)so would recomend you give it a try.remember though it doesnt allways heppen but with a guide i think you will do well.hope that helps

PS. what part of Alberta are you looking at hunting in?
 
I misspoke earlier when I said the guide was out of Calgary , he is west of Edmonton near Hinton. The unit he hunts is 339. The other aspect of the hunt that make me cautious is that he just recentley began outfitting after being a guide for several years. If anyone would rather repond privatly, my Email is [email protected] Thanks , Mike
