Alberta Whitetail and Mule Deer Hunts
Big bodied bucks carrying large antlers are an Alberta trademark.
Alberta's reputation for big whitetails is well known, but the mule deer hunting in Alberta is also second to none.
High racks with great mass define Alberta's big bucks, for both species. Many of our clients will see more true trophy class deer on one hunt with us than they have seen on all their previous hunting trips elsewhere, combined. We urge you to come see for yourself what Alberta, Canada has to offer.
Big bucks of both species are possible and our clients are able to take advantage of that opportunity on a combination deer hunt. For that reason we offer a limited number of whitetail only or mule deer only hunts, contact us for availability.
Whitetail bucks increase their activity as they enter the initial stages of the rut, making scrapes, rubs, etc. during the last week of October. We then can start hunting whitetail deer and mule deer together on our popular six-day combination hunt.
For more info on Alberta whitetail hunting we suggest you also visit Daniel's Outfitting.
The deer season in our mountain zone begins in late September. For the early season hunts we will often combine deer with black bear, elk or moose. An antelope and deer combo is also offered.
To us, hunting the high country for bachelor herds of mule deer bucks is one of the finest hunting experiences to be had anywhere. A six day, mountain mule deer only hunt in October is available when our schedule permits.
The season continues through the rut, to the end of November. For these hunts we will either stay at one of our wilderness tent camps or take daily trips from our home with the horses and trailer to one of several trail heads that lead to our trophy deer hotspots. For most of the area, no motorized vehicles are allowed and so access is only on horseback or foot, further limiting hunting pressure and ensuring that you have the greatest possible chance at mature trophy deer.
The current price list is available on our booking page.
Ubaldo Lopez of Sonora, Mexico came for an October hunt in the Alberta Rocky Mountains. Ubaldo is both an Outfitter and a Taxidermist so he knows a good deer when he sees one. He didn't hesitate when this big heavy antlered mountain muley showed up.
Ubaldo finished off the week by taking his first moose. He tells us he has a lot more Alberta hunts on his wish list.
NOTE: Ubaldo also took a monster Alberta muley on a prairie hunt in 2005.
We've hunted Desert Mule Deer and Coues' Deer with Ubaldo's El Rodeo Hunting Lodge in Sonora, Mexico. To see the photos of Tracy's super Coues whitetail buck and Gordon's 33 inch desert muley visit our "About Us" page.
Prairie Mule Deer/Whitetail Hunts
Our prairie deer season is restricted to four three-day hunts which take place every Thursday, Friday and Saturday in November. This is a combination mule deer and whitetail hunt. This area produces some of the best trophy mule deer anywhere, making mulies our priority on this hunt.
Hunting pressure is controlled by licence quotas, enabling us to consistently produce big muley bucks for our clients.
The terrain consists of prairie grassland, grainfields, coulees and river bottoms. You can expect some longer shots on both mule deer and whitetails in this open country. Accommodation can be either ranch house or motel, depending on the exact area we are hunting, transportation is by 4X4 or on foot.
You make a significant investment of time and money in a hunt and we make that investment count. Our hunts deliver the value you expect and deserve. The current price list is available on our booking page.
