I have been blessed to have experienced Alberta Canada twice in less than a year and explored a different facet of being in the bush. Alberta has so much to offer and outdoors person. Having the right Guide gives you a sense of security that allows one to focus solely on placing your sights on the animal you wish to harvest. Those individuals knowledge of woodsman-ship and their love for what they do is transcended into a positive hunting experience. Alberta Backwoods Outfitters caters and pampers the Hunter's quest to kill bears. If you are wanting to experience a true outdoor adventure this is the Outfitter you are looking for. Their focus is on getting the hunter too and from the bush safely. Providing you with the specimens to fulfill your quest.


I was 15 years young in Colorado hunting mule deer with my rifle. Living out of a tent, chopping firewood and bathing from a basin. Or lathering up and plunging into a beaver pond. Now some 32 years later, deja vue. As I feel the desire and passion that was breed in me to cherish God's gifts and sulk in the moment.


Living in a spike tent, dirt floor, utilizing a ground blind modified as a job johnny with a tarpuline shower. Pumping water from a 1 inch hose from a 3 gallon bucket. Allows me to realize how our fore-fathers lived and extravagantly we now live. How fortunate we are to have the technology to provide the things we take for granted, "Home Sweet Home!".

You can look at it any way you want it isn't going to split!


I saw 8 bears all of which could have been harvested by a bow and arrow. Harvested my first bear ever and capitalized on a second while observing bears being bears. From the ability to be aware of human presence to the exchange of animal behavior of dominance in the interlude of survival with one's mere presence. What a precious gift!


I can't say enough about Alberta Backwoods Outfitter. You need to experience it for yourself.
