ALBERTA #283
LAST MINUTE DISCOUNTED BULL MOOSE RUT HUNT
| | |
IF YOU CAN ACT QUICKLY, THIS IS A STEAL OF A DEAL!
The Peace River area has a very healthy moose population. You’ll be in Wildlife Management Area 544, and hunts take place in the remote backcountry in logged cutovers – near lakes, natural salt licks, cut-lines and beaver dams. Moose prefer these areas for the solitude, the food, and the abundance of water. Hunting may include sitting stands and calling – with more emphasis on covering some ground and locating bulls within rifle range.
Moose here are typically 35”-40”, with always a chance for bigger, and about 70%-80% success! That is outstanding anywhere that moose roam. Hunts takes place in the Boreal forest (big bush), using 4WD vehicles and quads. This outfitter takes only a handful of hunters per year. Accommodations are in the outfitter’s home.
| | |
The regular price of $9,900 per person 2x1 and $11,900 per person 1x1 has been slashed to just $6,000 USD per person 2x1 or 1x1 for a 6-day hunt. Factoring in tax and license, you are looking at $6,772.50 USD. As long as you have the tag, wolves are a free add on.
DATES: October 10-15, 2025 (4 spots)

FLORIDA #253
AFFORDABLE GATORS AND HOGS
| | |
We work with a quality outfitter in central Florida (just 2-3 hrs. from either coast!) that specializes in gators and Osceola turkeys (along with hogs and exotics). There are over 1 million gators in Florida, and he hunts thousands of acres of private and public land. His very high-success and affordable public land hunts are conducted on Lake Okeechobee from August 15 to October 31 and are done in the evenings using bow, crossbow, or rod & reel, while the year-round private land hunts are conducted all day and rifles can be used.
We think his public land gator hunts are exceptional, and an outstanding value. He offers evening/nighttime hunts for gators in the 6-8ft. range, as well as hunts for big trophy “dinosaur” gators of 9+ ft. He has averaged close to 11 ft. on these trophy gator hunts over the last few years, with near 100% success! But tags are very limited, so book now before it’s too late!

-
6’-8’ gator just $2,000, including 2 nights’ food and lodging

9’+ trophy gator just $3,000 (add $750 for 10ft., add $1,500 for 11ft, add $3,000 for 12ft), including 3 nights’ food and lodging

WYOMING #232
PREMIUM TROPHY BULL ELK
| | |
Do you have a min. of 17 elk preference points in Wyoming and have been waiting and looking for just the right hunt to use them? The search is over!
This massive ranch in central Wyoming is over 570,000 acres, making it the largest contiguous ranch in the Rocky Mountains (to our knowledge). It is home to thousands of elk, antelope and mule deer, some of which die of old age due to the sheer size of this place. They have some great trout fishing as well. Hunters are housed in a gorgeous 4-star lodge, with delicious meals served every night.
The terrain is “moderate” in terms of physicality and varies from open meadows in the timber to vast juniper flats to windswept ridgelines. The elevation is fairly high at 6,500-8,500 feet, but the outfitter can usually accommodate various physical abilities. Depending on the time of year, hunts can range from bugling in rutting herd bulls in the thick timber, to spotting and stalking elk on open ridgelines.
They have some truly huge elk on the ranch. They try not to harvest anything under 335” (but it does happen occasionally), and enjoy a 350” average some years. However, bulls up to 370+” live there! The hunting pressure is also low, due to the sheer size of the ranch and the number of points required to draw. They average about 10 hunters per year, but some years it’s been as few as just 3.
| | |
The 2026 pricing has not been set yet, but the 2025 price was $12,000 per person 1x1 for a 5-day hunt, food and lodging included, and we don’t expect 2026 to be much different. That is a very fair price today for a hunt of this quality! If you have at least 17 elk preference points, give us a call. NOW IS THE TIME TO BOOK A 2026 ELK HUNT!
Archery Season: September 1-30
Rifle Season: October 1-31

SASKATCHWAN #289
BIG CANADIAN BLACK BEARS
| | |
This outfitter’s territory consists of 1,000 square mile of wilderness (no roads) in remote northern Saskatchewan. For 2026, he will have 2 bear camps.
The original camp, called the Torch base camp, is an old-school trapper’s camp on the banks of a river. To get there you will travel by 4WD truck, ATV and boat. Most of the hunting is along small rivers, using boats and/or canoes, so hunters must be able to easily get in/out of canoes/boats and ATVs, and up/down steep and muddy riverbanks, as well as tree-stands.
The new camp, called Granite, is a drive-to and is located by a lake, with hunt locations are accessed by ATV or boat. This wilderness area has had virtually no bear hunting pressure, ever.
Both camps are ideal for groups of 4-6 hunters. If you bring a group of at least 4 hunters, you can have the full camp to yourselves. Smaller groups are welcome too, but they may round out your party with other hunters. Both camps have access to fishing. All hunts are fair chase wilderness hunts with expectations for multiple bear sightings and high odds for all hunters taking mature boars.
| | |
Price is $4,245 USD per person 2x1 for a 5-day hunt. This includes your license, tag and all taxes. Meals and lodging are included, with accommodations in rustic but comfortable logging cabins, with a generator, a shower house and satellite WIFI (no phone). No more than 4-6 hunters in camp per week. You fly into Saskatoon and drive approx. 4 hours to access point.
2026 DATES:
Torch Camp: May 17-23, May 24-30, May 31-June 6
Granite Camp: June 7-13, June 14-20

ALASKA #154
BOAT-BASED LUXURY BLACK OR BROWN BEAR
| | |
Hunt giant black or brown bears from an 80-foot luxury yacht specially built for use as a floating lodge, with a private cabin and bathroom for each hunter. You will see magnificent coastlines, scenic mountains, wildlife and sea life galore, all in refined comfort. Enjoy 5-star chef-prepared meals, excellent guides, and great hunting. Normally you will anchor in a secluded cove or bay, then jump into their seaworthy 16-ft. skiffs to tour the shores up close, all while glassing the beaches and grass flats. The Captain is a Master Guide and has been guiding Alaskan trips for over 30 years. You will be hunting in the area of the “ABC Islands” in southeast Alaska, with access via Juneau.
Bears begin to emerge from their dens in the spring seeking food. The first thing to turn green is the beach grass at the coastline, so when the bears awaken, they head straight to the beach to eat the fresh grass, and so will you. Spring hunts can be enjoyed by hunters of almost any ability as they tend to be less physical than a fall hunt. Success rates run 80+%.

BOTSWANA #300
ELEPHANT SAFARIS
| | |
With over 130,000 elephants (the largest population in the world), Botswana is unquestionably the top destination in Africa for the serious elephant hunter. These hunts take place in one of Botswana’s prime hunting blocks, NG 43. It is one of the three largest hunting concessions in northern Botswana, with an estimated million acres of prime bushveld. This hunter’s paradise is bordered by National Parks and Game Reserves and has a near-zero human settlement and livestock footprint. It is also ideally situated in the center of the elephant, zebra and buffalo migration routes.
Camps are classic African tent camps, with spacious wall tents, en suite showers, flush toilets and delicious meals.
These are tracking hunts. Although the terrain is flat, be prepared to walk 5-15 miles per day – some days may be much less, but there may be days when the right opportunity requires a full day of tracking. Elephant trophies will go 60-90 pounds.
| | |
A 12-day elephant hunt with no size limit is $40,200 USD per person 1x1 plus a trophy fee of $25,000 USD. Associated permits will bring the total to approx. $72,000 USD. Importation of elephant trophies from Botswana are currently being processed on a case-by-case basis by USFWS. Gun permits, camp transfers, trophy prep, export/import and shipping costs are extra.
If you’ve long dreamed of hunting the most iconic of Africa’s Big 5, here is your chance to do so in a premiere location.
