INCLUDED IN ALL PACKAGES

ACCOMMODATIONS AKA HUNT CAMP

We have a few different sites depending on which animals your hunting. 
All camps will consist of 1 or 2 Sleeping Tents which have lots of room.

The sleeping tent is 14 feet or 3 meters wide and 16 feet or 3 ½ meters long, 5 ½ feet or 1.7 meters high wall, and 10 ½ feet or 3.3 meters to the top of the tent. The tents are built with a wooden floor constructed for cold weather hunting and are heated by a wood-burning stove. Beds are set up with a 4 inch or 10 cm thick foam mattress and a very warm sleeping bag.

There is an outdoor toilet, but no shower the client will have to take a sponge bath. And all camps have a gravity drain shower bag that we fill with hot water. We will supply a washcloth, and towel for each client.

With having the hunting camp right in the hunting area if the client needed to warm up during the day we just head for camp.

The temperature at with time of year is +10 to – 10 Celsius at night and +15 to -5 Celsius darn the day time. However, the Bull Moose have very good hearing so when the PH and client are standing calling to in a Bull Moose you may stand still for hours so warm footwear, clothing, coat, hat, and gloves real payoff. But try to get hunt gear that does not make a lot of noise when you move. The best is when you layer your clothing so you can adjust for the temperature of the day.

There will be a boat and motor for on the lake and ATV for on land for transportations at the hunting camps.

DEPARTURE

After the hunt, you will be transported back to Fort McMurray to a hotel for the night and then you will be transported by the hotel or your own taxi to the airport in Fort McMurray for you to board the plane in time to return home.
