HUNT: Alberta Farmland Moose Hunt
CONSULTANT: Patrick Kissel | Outdoors International
September, 2019
I spent a lot of time trying to find a good archery hunt for moose that wouldn’t break the bank but also be a challenge and I found just that with the help of Outdoors International.
I will say overall my hunt was a success, even though I came home empty handed. We hunted in the Peace River region of Alberta which is much open country and hard to put a stalk on a moose with a bow. It was difficult to figure where the moose would leave the ag fields each morning and trying to put a stalk and cut one off was near impossible! We did however see many moose and I unfortunately wounded a nice bull. If this was a rifle hunt it would have been almost too easy!
I talked with both Patrick and the outfitter before my Alberta moose hunt for several hours in total, and they never “over sold” the moose hunt or tried to push me into it. Mike is an honest outfitter and you will get exactly what he tells you over the phone. I’ve hunted all over the world and it’s often rare you find an outfitter so honest as Mike was. I knew going into the hunt it was going to be difficult but I wanted to try it anyway! The hunt isn’t physically demanding and if you were to go with a rifle it would be easy.
The outfitter is a great honest guy and pleasure to hunt with.
I would like to go do a rifle hunt with him for moose or elk in Alberta.
- Overall, my trip was a great experience. My experience was good but I just wouldn’t recommend as a bow hunt. If you are thinking about doing this hunt you will need to be able to shoot out to 60 yards or better with a good arrow weight and heavy broadhead

- My guide was good.
- Physically, the trip was moderate.
- The food was good.
- The accommodations were amazing.
- My consultant’s communication before, during and after the trip was perfect, I couldn’t have asked for more. Patrick and I spoke over the phone multiple times about this hunt. He never tried to oversell the hunt and told me what it would be. He also helped me get in touch with Mike the outfitter so I could speak directly with him before booking the hunt.
I would work with Patrick again when booking my next hunt. - My consultant was very knowledgeable, and a pleasure to talk to.
- Would you book another trip with us in the future? Yes.
- Can we use your stories and/or photos on our website? Yes.
- Can we use this in social media? Yes.

Our hunt was excellent.
We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.
Jesse Neveau
What an amazing experience!
The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
