General Information

Alberta is divided into five main hunting regions as described below. Trophy Hunters Alberta offers hunts in over 20,000 square miles of Alberta terrain in the mountain, foothills and prairie regions - we do not offer hunts in the parkland or boreal regions.

Mountains

This rugged region is a portion of the Canadian Rocky Mountains that stretches along much of the western border of Alberta. It is characterized by forests of coniferous trees, such as spruce, fir and pine. At higher elevations, permanent snow fields and glaciers are scattered among rocky ledges, scree slopes and alpine meadows. Adjacent to this region are Alberta's three mountain national parks: Jasper, Banff and Waterton Lakes National Parks respectively. Hunting is prohibited in national parks, however, Trophy Hunters Alberta has allocations bordering both Banff and Waterton Lakes National Parks. Big game is abundant throughout this hunting area and hunters frequently see numerous 6 point elk in the 300 plus P & Y category and the odd bull exceeding 350 P & Y points. Currently, a bull elk in one portion of this area requires 6 points to be legal. Our elk hunter success in Kananaskis Country frequently results in 100 per cent hunter opportunity factor.

Foothills

The foothills are generally similar to the mountain zones, but are lower in elevation and generally drier. Forests of spruce, pine, poplar and aspen are often broken by tracts of grassland. This mosaic of vegetation provides excellent habitat for a wide variety of wildlife and especially big game. The south-west and west-central Alberta foothills and plains areas have many gently rolling hills which host excellent moose, elk, mule deer and whitetail populations. As with most areas of Alberta, these areas always harbor several record book animals.

Prairies

Grassland, sagebrush plains and agricultural croplands predominate this region. The most striking feature is the absence of trees, except in river valleys and coulees where moisture is sufficient to support cottonwoods and other deciduous trees. Much of this region is ranching and farming country. Trophy Hunters Alberta offers a large number of whitetail hunts, and a lesser number of mule deer hunts, in the southern prairie zones, where the rifle season consists of three hunting days per week (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) during November. The archery season in the prairie zones allows for 6 days of hunting per week.

We want our hunters to get their chance at the 'big one' as much as they do. As Alberta's largest outfitter, we have the allocations, experience and expertise to provide our hunting guests with professionally run big game hunts, customized to their individual aspirations and expectations.

We still have numerous excellent openings for next fall.

We are now taking bookings for this fall and future seasons.
