Alberta Bear Hunting

The Alberta Spring Bear hunts are operated out of an outpost camp North of the Slave Lake area. These outpost camps are well equipped with amenities like hot and cold running water, showers, refrigerators and freezers, electric lights, and modern cook ranges. Our modular kitchen and dining trailers make for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Meals are prepared by our chef and staff with a wide variety of meals throughout your stay, guaranteed to satisfy even the hungriest hunters!

Sleeping accommodations consist of 10' X 12' wall tents that are equipped with a ground sheet, single bed mattresses with box springs, electric lights, and propane heaters in case the weather turns wet or cold.

Due to the fact that hunters are allowed to kill two bears in Alberta, our success rate over the past several years has been consistently over 180%. This means that a camp with ten hunters will usually produce a harvest of more than 18 bears.

Alberta Bear Opportunities are at 200%, meaning everyone will get an opportunity to harvest two bears each. It’s up to each individual hunter take advantage of these opportunities and harvest his trophy, and some hunters are extremely selective with their second animal. It is not surprising to see 25 or 30 bears during a hunt, and many repeat customers have learned to be patient, resulting in great trophy bears.

We also offer Fall Black Bear hunts operated out of our Main Lodge. These hunts are “spot and stalk” hunts and also offer an exciting way to find your trophy Bear.

Every year several Alberta Bears are taken that are record class, the measurements exceeding minimum for Safari Club International, Pope and Young, and Boone & Crockett Record Books.

There are excellent chances of harvesting color phase bears, probability near 35 or 40%.

Alberta Whitetail & Mule Deer Hunts

If you are looking to hunt trophy Alberta Whitetails or Mule Deer you have come to the right place! This area of Alberta continues to fill the record books with big deer year after year. Our Whitetail Deer Hunt takes place in the Slave Lake district of North Central Alberta in a mixture of farm fields, heavy timber, old log-offs, and oil exploration trails.

We start our Deer Hunts with our early season Archery hunts in mid October.

The last Saturday in October we start our rifle hunts for Deer and late season Moose and run to the end of the season which is approximately December 1st. The weather at this time may run from +40 °F to -O °F so a variation of clothing and hunting techniques are required. This hunt is scheduled at this time to take advantage of the rut which is at its peak this time of year.

Many of our hard core Whitetail hunters have come to hunt with us year after year and with this persistence seems to come bigger and better trophies as the willingness and patience of the hunter to wait out the real big boys increases.

Our typical success rate for Alberta Whitetail Deer:
• Hunter Opportunity - 100%
• Success Kills - 95%
• Trophy Bucks - SCI / P & Y / B & C / - 35%

Alberta Moose Hunts

Our Fall Moose hunts begin in mid September and continue through mid October to coincide with the Bull Moose being in rut. Hunting takes place in the Athabasca River watershed and on the Wabasca River. Most of this area we hunt has very limited access so hunting pressure is light, and therefore this country produces some fine heads every year.

There are two options when hunting Moose. The wilderness river float is a trip on the Wabasca River that will cover approximately 150 miles of true untouched wilderness. Most of the hunting is done from large 27 foot canoes that are very stable and comfortable to ride in. These canoes are motorized and very versatile, allowing access to areas otherwise unaccessable. In some cases we will use jet boats and hovercraft. You will also have the opportunity to fish for Northern Pike and Walleye while hunting, and accommodations will be in tents or possibly outpost camps.

This is an unforgettable adventure, one that will leave you with memories lasting a lifetime. You will spend the first and final nights of the trip at our Main Lodge, the NWO Ranch, near Slave Lake.

The second option is the lodge hunt. Each night will be spent in our Main Lodge, with typical meals and accommodations. Hunting is primarily by calling and scouting, with plenty of opportunities for trophy Alberta Moose. Areas hunted will be surrounding the Athabasca River.

What Our Clients Say...

"Hi Bob,

This is Mike Cassidy. Me and my 2 buddies just got back from your lodge. Absolutely great. It was the best hunt we've ever done and all 3 of us came home with great bucks. The lodge is incredible. The way we were treated was outstanding and not only were the meals excellent but Pete is an amazing chef and great person. Everything you told us about the hunt and the lodge was 100% accurate. All of the guides were not only very knowledgeable about the area and where the deer were but they were also great guys. The other hunters in camp were repeat hunters and were helpful and very friendly. I couldn't ask for a better group of guys to spend a week with. You can count us in for a return trip in the future. As soon as we know when we will let you know and book it."

"3 very satisfied hunters"

"Hunting with Northern Wilderness Outfitters was the highlight of my year. My dreams of taking a moose finally came true and to sweeten the spot I took a beautiful 8 point whitetail buck whose live weight was 295 lbs with my bow.  I made new friends and gained ten pounds from the great food at their beautiful lodge, it just doesn’t get much better than this.

"Thanks to a great crew for a great time!!!"
