Our original black bear hunting camp has officially been sold and we are now only running our new black bear hunting camp, Epic Outfitting Ltd.. Please see below for more information.
Our Epic Outfitting Ltd. black bear hunting camp takes in the Ells River drainage, Birch Mountains, with the Birch Mountain Wildland Park to the West. Hunted very little over the past 12 years, we simply expect giant bears. We run four hunters per week for the month of May and first week of June, these hunts go fast, so please contact us regarding pricing, hunt contracts and deposits on our Ells River operation. Expect the same quality and high success that our Athabasca River operation enjoyed. This camp will be run and operated by good friend, past client, and now partner (In this camp) Trevor Evans of Bluffton Alberta and myself.
This is a six day Trophy Bear/Wolf hunt from ladder stands, hang on stands and ground blinds over bait at 15 to 20 yards. This two bear area allows rifle, muzzle loader, archery or crossbow tackle. Our proven measuring system makes it easy to judge bears and our bait set up ensures a quality shot. Camps consist of premium wall tents with wood heat, cots and foamies. A large kitchen tent, full time cook with solid home cooking. Also available are showers, outhouse and shooting range.
If you are looking to harvest a trophy bear, book your next black bear hunting trip with us and don’t forget wolves are always a free add on with a $30 CAD license. Clients arrive in Fort McMurray Alberta the Saturday before their hunt and are picked up Sunday at the hotel, returning the following Sunday for an afternoon flight. If you have any questions regarding either operation don't hesitate to ask. We look forward to hearing from you and making your trophy black bear hunting adventure a reality.
Edmonton International Airport is the hub for these adventures. All of our whitetail, mule deer and coyote hunts are conducted in WMU's 224 and 332. The hunting lodge is located on the western edge of WMU 224 in the heart of game rich country with all the comforts of home including a fulltime cook preparing quality homecooked meals. Whether your searching for that heavy horned big bodied whitetail deer, the massive mule deer with deep forks or non stop coyote action, it is here that we put it all together for your Alberta adventure!
Winter wolf hunts are conducted in mid December, January, and February. Clients fly into Edmonton International airport, where we pick you up and head to camp. Air B&B's are used along with our home/lodge which has all the amenities necessary when dealing with the extreme weather at this time of year. Hunters are delivered to heated ground blinds using snow machines and occasionaly on foot, where they sit for the day. Bait is used at a distance of 200 yards and we recommend a 25 cal. or larger rifle that you shoot well. Not for the week of heart this is a mentally challenging hunt where patience is key. When the howling starts and the hair stands up on the back of your neck, take a deep breath and prepare for the shot on one of North Americas most elusive animals. There is no limit on the amount of wolves you can take, so keep shooting!

If you are coming on a rifle hunt then you will need a firearms declaration form to clear your rifle through customs. You will need to complete the form online by clicking on the following link. Be sure to read all instructions and do not sign it until you are with the customs official! There is a $30 CAD payment at the border to process this form. If you have another hunt planned in Alberta in the same year you can only shoot one animal of each species per year.
Non-Resident Firearms Declaration Part 1
It is your responsibility to make sure you will not be refused entry into Canada. Refusal of entry by Canada Customs and Immigration is not sufficient reason for a refund. If you've ever had any criminal charges, even a D.U.I., you might have difficulty entering Canada and may need to clear it up months beforehand. Canada Border Crossing Services is available to answer any questions you may have. Passports are required to enter Canada.
W.I.N is simply a permanent number received in advance, to help speed up the licensing process here in Alberta. Only return clients who have hunted Alberta during the fall of 1998 or later will have this new number already. If you have a WIN # be sure to bring your card or have the number written down. If you do not have a current WIN # or have never hunted Alberta before you now need to complete this process before arrival at the link below.
