For those who have been brought up to be hunters and for those that have learned to love the sport, there are great opportunities in Canada. Hunters come from all corners of the globe to hunt here. There are a variety of species in this country that make good eating and good trophies.

Many hunters come here looking for trophies and Canada has some of the best. This country has many different species that will challenge any hunter. Black and grizzly bear, white tail deer, mule deer, moose, bison, elk and wolves are just some of the species that are hunted here.

Some outfitters deal strictly with hunts for one species while others offer a variety of hunts. Do your homework and come up with a good outfitter who supplies the type of hunt you are looking for. This will ensure a rewarding experience and you won’t go home disappointed.

The second hunt is one where hunters stay in a licensed lodge and are transported to strategically situated tree stands placed specifically to intercept bucks. A five-day hunt costs $2000. US.
