Trophy Black Bear and Moose Hunting Outfitters in Alberta, Canada

Remote Black Bear Hunting in Canada

If you are up for a “Top Notch Adventure”, we offer an Alberta remote wilderness hunting experience you won’t want to miss!

Our black bear hunts and moose hunts take place in the remote regions of northern Alberta Canada along the Peace River.  Our hunts are conducted in one of the best areas in Alberta. From rivers to hills and through the boreal forest, our large population of black bear and moose grow to trophy size.

Top Notch Adventures is a family operation since 2005, owned and operated by Frank and Kathy Martens.  We were born and raised where we hunt and know our hunting area well.  Our main goal is making all hunters feel comfortable and happy, doing what ever it takes to have an exceptional hunting experience.

Northern Alberta Black Bear Hunting Outfitters

100% shot opportunity, 100% success rate on blonde  and cinnamon color phase bears

Our black bear hunts take place in the remote wilderness of northern Alberta Canada. The black bear hunting areas are only accessible by ATV’s, UTV’s and hiking. The area we hunt is a 2 bear area with many color phased bears ranging from blonde to cinnamon to black. Our area is home for trophy size black bears with over 400,000 acres of mixed boreal forest with rivers and creeks.

By strictly managing the bears harvested in our hunting area, bears have a chance to grow large, some weighing in over 500 pounds with 20+ inch skulls.  In order to maintain the quality and quantity of trophy class bears, you may only harvest one color phased bear and one (or both) black, which must be 6′ or better.   With no resident hunting pressure, excellent bear habitat, and careful management of the bear population, the bears in this area grow to trophy size.

We start to bait bears in mid April and continue to bait through the beginning of June. Continually adding bait to the sites ensures that the bears will continue to feed. We have several remote bait sites set up for rifle and bow hunters which are accessible by ATV.

We setup our bait stations away from roads, into remote area where will see and hear only the wildlife that’s out there. Bears, wolves etc. No cars, trains, automobiles.

Moose Rut Hunts & Early Season Archery Moose Hunts

Alberta Canada Remote River Boat Hunts

River Boat Moose Hunting Trips Packages with Guaranteed Tags on the Peace River

Our moose hunts take place in the remote regions of northern Alberta Canada along the Peace River.  We hunt the river, marsh flats, natural mineral licks and back channels where moose grow to trophy size.

The moose hunting areas are only accessible by ATV’s, boat and hiking.  With little resident hunting pressure, excellent moose habitat, and careful management of the moose population, the moose in this area grow to trophy size, with average 30 to 50″ antler spread.

Our goal at Top Notch Adventures is for hunters to harvest a minimum 30″ moose, which will allow smaller moose a chance to grow to trophy size.  Seeing a moose come in to a cow call during our rut is exhilarating, and with patience, you will have an excellent opportunity to bring home a trophy Canada moose.

Moose Rut Hunts

Canada moose hunting outfitters

Our rut moose hunts are based out of our main lodge, but we have the option to set up spike camp if you choose. From the main lodge we set out early morning by 4×4 trucks to the remote areas we will be hunting.  We use boats to hunt for trophy moose along the river and UTV’s and ATV’s when hunting from tree stands overlooking natural mineral licks, along river flats and marshes.  Hunters can expect to hike a couple of miles a day or we can arrange to have ATV’s if you are not able to walk far distances.

Your guide will use his knowledge of the area to find the best spots and call in trophy bull into shooting range.  The areas we hunt and method of hunting will give you an excellent opportunity to take home your Canada moose.

Day to day moose hunting generally includes hunting from sunrise to sunset.

We running trail cameras so we can see where the trophy bulls travel and feed.

Our moose hunts run for 6 days from Monday to Saturday but longer hunts can be arranged.

Hunters can use rifle, bow, or crossbow on these moose hunts.

To maintain the quality and quantity of trophy class moose, hunters should harvest a minimum 30″ moose, which will allow smaller moose a chance to grow to trophy size.

Archery Bowhunting Moose Hunts

Early Season Velvet Spot and Stalk Moose Hunts

This spot & stalk  hunt is based from our four bedroom lodge. We can also setup spike camps if you prefer a more remote experience. From the lodge, we take our 4×4 trucks and head out to our prime moose habitat. Using UTV’s, ATV’s or boats we start early morning searching for feeding areas and travel routes near creeks, rivers and low marshes. Once a moose is spotted we will then try to get within range for a clean bow kill.

Archery Season runs from August 25 thru 31.

Most shots range between 20 to 60 yards.

During these moose bow hunts, you will not see any other hunters as we hunt very remote areas.

This is an excellent opportunity to harvest a P&Y moose with antlers still in velvet.

You can add a spot & stalk or baited black bear hunt to the archery moose hunts if you are looking for a chance at harvesting two Alberta trophies.
