We're located just west of Edmonton, Alberta. You'll be hunting in thousands of acres of farmland amongst many lakes and river bottoms. Ongoing and extensive scouting will have taken place before you arrive for your hunt, therefore we will be able to set up near well used travel routes and feeding areas.

Primary methods of hunting are from heated ground blinds, tripods, and tree stands. In 2007 14 deer were harvested for 18 hunters - with the average deer scoring 152 pts.

Each morning you will be fed a hardy wholesome breakfast and a bag lunch will be provided for you. We'll fill a thermos with your choice of beverage and take you out to the hunting area.

What to expect

Sitting in a blind, or tree stand, can be long and boring, but it has been proven time and time again that this will give you the best opportunity at your "dream buck". In our hunting area you just never know when that next great granddad is going to appear in front of your blind. So be prepared to sit all day long - and pay attention! Many times hunters have nodded off and when they awoke there were deer in front of them. Remember Patience, Patience, Patience!

You'll also have the opportunity to join in rattling for deer and doing some exciting day float trips on some of the rivers in the area.


Photos Tips

Here are a couple of tips for taking the photo of a lifetime. We all want to preserve these memories so make sure the sun is behind the photographer. Clean all the blood off your deer with "wet ones". Make sure his tongue is in his mouth and the mouth is closed. Don't wrap your hands all the around the antler as this just hides the antler. Position the deer in a natural laying pose, with the legs tucked under him not all sprawled out. Try to picture what the deer would look like if he were bedded "ALIVE" and make him look that way. Yours photos are a part of your hunt so take the time to take good photos.

Trophy care

Once you have your Dream Buck back at camp the utmost care will be given to your trophy. Complete caping will be done at this time, (eyes, ears, lips, etc), then your trophy will be salted down, and tagged. Many outfits just take the uncompleted cape and freeze it, "Good thing for these people that the airlines never lose your luggage"!!!!! I would hate to see what your cape would look like if it spent a week in a terminal in Florida. So salt is the best as the temperature will not affect a salted cape.
