Hunting & Shooting · Alberta
An Alberta outfitter running mule deer, bighorn sheep, elk, spring bear and winter coyote hunts, from ranch country to backcountry horse trips in the Willmore Wilderness. Every review is five stars.
Willow Creek Outfitters runs a range of guided hunts in Alberta, and all of its reviews are glowing. Hunters from the US and elsewhere describe a professional operation from planning through to getting home, with the website covering what you need for bringing firearms across the border.
Mule deer in ranch country are a mainstay, and reviewers talk about seeing many big bucks a day along with whitetails, elk and moose. Others went into the Willmore Wilderness on horseback for bighorn sheep and bull elk, with two hunters completing their North American Grand Slam with a ram. The 14-day sheep hunt is described as rugged and physically demanding.
There are also spring black bear hunts, where one camp saw every hunter take a bear, and February coyote hunts in southwestern Alberta with long-range shooting. For those, guests stayed in a basement lodge with bedrooms, Wi-Fi and boot dryers. Home-cooked dinners such as roast moose and homemade desserts get repeated praise.
Winter coyote hunts can run as cold as -39, and one hunter suggests a flatter-shooting calibre than a .22-250 and bringing electronic hearing protection. Allow extra time at customs with a rifle.
