Hunts
Hunts will encompass a full six days of hunting. You will fly into Fort McMurray, Alberta on a Sunday and will be picked up at the airport. At this time licenses will be purchased. Once licenses are purchased, you will be treated to lunch at one of Fort McMurray's fine dinning establishments. After lunch we will drive out to the main camp were you can settle in and sight in your weapons. Supper will be served at approximately 7:00pm the first evening. After supper we will sit down and go over how to judge your bear and general hunting/camp protocol. Hunting will start the following Monday and continue until Saturday evening. A typical day consists of a hearty breakfast at approximately 9:00am and a large dinner at approximately 3:00pm. After dinner, hunters are taken to their hunting area and dropped off for the evening hunt. Hunters are picked up at dark. Once back in camp, a hot meal will be ready for you. After eating, the events of the evening will be discussed.
