Alberta Free Range Bison Hunting
Alberta Bison Hunt
Bison may be hunted anywhere they are found in northern Alberta, except within the national park and within a new Bison Protection Area in northwestern Alberta.
Free ranging wild bison are one of North America’s most unique and impressive trophies. It is a fact that the wild bison have always existed in Alberta. They were never pushed out completely, so you will be hunting bulls that are still in their traditional habitat, in a truly fair chase manner.
Why you should consider bison hunting in Alberta:
- Alberta is one of the few places that free range bison hunting still takes place.
- High trophy quality. In fact many of the bulls are positively ancient.
- Little hunting pressure.
- High success rates.

Free Range Bison Hunting in Northern Alberta, Canada
Great quality free range Wood bison averaging 62″ SCI. Big bulls are the norm on this hunt.
A bull taken on this Alberta bison hunt is exportable to the United States!
These bison hunts are not for a pure “wood bison”, which allows your cape and horns to be exported to the United States. Although not pure wood strain, a bull may weigh up to 2,600 lbs. and cow 1,500 lbs. The rewards for the dedicated hunter can be great. Studies have shown that many of the bulls in this area are positively ancient, and trophy potential very high.
It is a fact that the wild bison have always existed in these ranges and man has never pushed them out of the area. This hunt is a good one for what it is. A tough, remote hunt where the bison have to step across a particular boundary to be huntable. They are unpredictable on how often they do… but it is what it is on this hunt.
- Most of the hunting will be done on snowmobiles and quads. It is common to travel up to 80 km (50 miles) in a day. The snow is generally 1-3 feet deep. The hunt can be long and difficult but for the avid trophy hunter it is the thrill of a lifetime.
- Your guides are committed to a policy of 100% “fair chase” and stress principles and ethics above all else.
- Many of the bulls in this area are positively ancient, and trophy potential very high.
