HOW TO HUNT

​

Spot and Stalk:

​

• On the bear hunts, we usually drive out in the morning between kl. 9.30 - 11, and stays out until approx. at 22.30–23 time, depending on when the sun goes down. If we hunt close to the camp, it is conceivable that you return to the camp to relax / refuel for a shorter time in the middle of the day. One option may also be to start early one day, however, we do not have much experience with active bears early.

• Primetime / best time is clearly 1-2 hours before it gets dark. But bears can be taken outside all day.

• There is no creep to fear in Alberta where we hunt. Not better forest ticks / ticks.

• In the case of a slaughtered bear, there is some work for your guide in "shining" it. Be committed, feel free to participate by "shining" or holding the bear, it typically takes 1 - 1.5 hours.

• Bow hunting, you can of course easily try your hand at pürch and decency. This requires both ingenuity and cunning, but the reward is felt when it succeeds.

​

Bait hunting / Bow hunting: ​

​

• If it is of interest to you, bait hunting can be arranged at some of the places. It is incredibly exciting to be so close to bears on this form of hunting "to sit on bait" (where you sit on a feeding place). With this form of hunting, it is often possible to see more bears - and maybe even kill the big one! But in such a hunt, some time must be fed beforehand. This form of hunting is perfect for bow hunting. Read more about bow hunting here . In bait hunting, you can also choose to try your hand at spot and stalk after the first bear has been killed.

•   Some people raise their eyebrows when they hear about this form of hunting, but it is definitely determined by "which eyes" you look with, and you can also say that it is probably not much different than sitting on a moonlight hunt for wild boar! (except that here you can see something in daylight and what you are shooting at) In this form of hunting, you must feed well in advance. In this connection, it is necessary to know if one could be interested in bait hunting!

Test shooting of rifle before hunting:

​

• Rifle control shot. We demand that. We manage this the night before or on the first day of hunting  morning before we go hunting. A requirement for the sake of the game and your safety.

• NOTE: when shooting with clear blood and not found wild, you are deprived of a bear tag. Be thorough

     and safe by your shot.

​

Weapon handling in the hunting vehicle:

​

• Weapons in the car.  Under NO circumstances should you have a loaded magazine inserted in the rifle. You are welcome to sit with your rifle and have the magazine in your hand, as long as it is not inserted in the rifle. If you are stopped by a wildlife officer (authority who drives around and checks hunters - fish for licenses etc., as well as for poaching) a fine will be imposed on you and your guide. It is illegal to shoot from the car.

Alcohol:

• Alcohol may be enjoyed in the camp, but drunken hunters are NOT driven on the hunt, and alcohol is not allowed on the hunt. If you want to enjoy alcohol, it is at your own expense.

​

The territories: ​

​

• Our hunting trainer is diverse from reasonably flat and to slightly hilly to heavily hilly. From slightly open forests to completely dense forest. But we always make sure that EVERYONE can join our hunts. The daily activity level can be organized so that it is extremely limited, conversely, the hunter who wants to get 5 - 10 - 15 km in the legs, during the day can also be satisfied. Common to the areas we hunt in - unit as it is called over there is that they are very large, typically they are between 40 - 100 km in width, and the length is between 80 - 120 km. We hunt on cut blocks which are areas that have been cleared by the forest companies - cutlines which are wide tracks that are often really long, they are made by the gas & oil companies that have laid supply pipes down. There are also meadows and fields.  

​

• Our main units are no. 525 - 526 they are located very high up in Alberta approx. two hours drive north of Grand Prairie. There are top areas for bear - moose - whitetail & muledeer.  Both of our areas adjacent to the BC Unit 525 are mainly deep forests, but we also have other units around Alberta.

​

Typical shooting distances:

​

• About 100 m. Everything from 20 m and up to plus 200 m is possible - it is of course entirely up to you.

My Caliber:

• Mine. cabbage. From 6.5x55 and up. The most important thing is the sphere location.

• Choice of ball? I have tried many, here among homogeneous bullets - copper, which I will not recommend, however, I am sure that DK Bullets that have 3 wings that break off, will be a good choice otherwise I have really good experience with construction, which likes to fragment and deposit the energy in the animal (ex remington - Core Lokt) but retains a certain residual weight.
