Elk Hunting, Elk Hunts, Record Elk - Trophy Hunters Alberta

Elk are, without a doubt, the most majestic animal in the North American big game deer family and Alberta offers some of the finest elk hunting available anywhere. With THA, you can hunt Alberta for elk on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies and in the rolling foothill regions SW and the more rugged foothills NW of Calgary. With over 10% of the available Alberta allocations for non-resident elk hunts, THA is well known and respected for our variety of hunts in a wide range of excellent elk hunting terrain.

With the high demand for hunting elk in Alberta, and the limited availability of tags in the province (due to strict Fish and Wildlife management of this species), THA recognizes the difficulty prospective hunters encounter when seeking to secure desirable placement for an upcoming season, particularly for groups. Although elk are, without a doubt, the most difficult species of ungulate to hunt, especially when they are being aggressively pursued, THA typically has a success ratio as good as, and usually better than, most other elk outfitters in the Province.

THA currently has 43 elk allocations in 11 different WMUs, both archery and rifle, and a number of premium options for hunting elk both during the rut and in our late season November elk hunts. For the serious elk hunter seeking a realistic hunting opportunity for Alberta elk, THA should be your outfitter of choice.

We offer both archery and rifle hunts. Archery hunts start in September when the bulls are usually in rut, and run through to the middle of October before the rifle season opens.

Rifle hunts take place both during the September rut, as well as during the last week of October and throughout November. Our rifle elk hunts are premier hunts and are always in high demand.

In our experience, the elk rut generally starts about September 10 and typically runs until the end of the month. The second rut is less predictable and occurs during October, however, by this time the elk have been hunted hard, many bulls have been shot and the elk have become quite nocturnal hiding in the heavy timber.

Elk can be the most difficult ungulate to hunt due to their incredibly wary nature, however, they are undoubtedly the most magnificent trophy in the deer family. Once spooked, they are not like deer, holding up in the next bush or draw, but rather they start running and may not hold up for 1 to 3 miles thus negating any pre-hunt scouting. Once elk are spooked, they become very nocturnal and require hard hunting to find where they have decided to settle down.

All of our Big Game hunts are fully guided with 2 hunters per guide and are all-inclusive (airport service, accommodation, meals, guiding, rough caping & transportation). Other than a prerequisite rental vehicle, available at special THA discounted rates from Enterprise Rent-a-Car, there are no hidden, or surprise, charges.

THA's prominence as the premiere elk and big game Outfitter in Alberta allows us to offer an excellent range of combination hunts in some of Alberta’s finest big game elk hunting areas.
