Alberta Bison Hunting Trips

If you want a free range bull, Alberta bison hunting is one of the few places to do it. Wild bison have always existed here, and they were never wiped out completely by the market hunters of the 1800’s.

Alberta’s bison population includes both Plains and Wood bison, with the latter being one of the largest terrestrial mammals in North America. The Wood bison, in particular, is a significant draw for hunters due to its size, with bulls often weighing over 2,500 pounds and presenting a significant challenge due to their remote habitat.

Alberta Bison Hunting is a Free Range, Fair Chase Experience

When you’re bison hunting in Alberta, you’ll be hunting wild, native bulls that are still in their traditional habitat.

• Hay-Zama Wood Bison Hunt: One of the most renowned hunts in Alberta, this occurs in the Hay-Zama Lakes Wildland Park. It requires a special license, often through a draw system, ensuring sustainable management of the herd. This hunt is not only tough due to the harsh winter conditions where you’ll most likely need to travel extensively by snowmobile.
• Private Outfitters: These hunts focus on free-range bison in remote areas, providing an authentic hunting experience. They often offer packages that include snowmobile travel, lodging, and sometimes the option to hunt other species like wolves.

Many of the bulls in this area are positively ancient, and trophy potential very high. You’ll be hunting Crown Land for free range bison averaging over 62 inches SCI. Fortunately these are not pure Wood bison. This allows us to export your cape and horns to the United States.
