DESCRIPTION

WOOD BISON is done in the very North of Alberta, 10 hours drive on an ice road, to the area where the camp is. The hunt is done by spotting the Wood Bison. Then doing a stalk as close as we can get to the herd of wood Bison to take the shot. When the Wood Bison is shot it will be skinned by the professional hunter and moved back to the camp. Timber Wolf hunting is done over the kill.

Your adventure north

Clients arriving for the early hunting season (November 1 – December 20) will have to fly to Fort Smith, North West Territories to the airport in Fort Smith. They will be meet by a staff of Birch Mountain Outfitter and brought to a hotel for a bit much needed rest before we head out. In the morning, clients will be picked up from the hotel and transported by truck as north as we can go.  We have to park the truck, repack any gear and proceed by ATV or Snow mobile pending on weather.

The later season, December 21 – January 15, the clients will fly in to Fort McMurray airport and will be meet by BMO staff, when the luggage and weapon are picked up the client will be transported to a hotel for the night. The next morning we start our journey north. The clients will be picked up and we head up the ice road a 11 hour trip to get to camp. Yes it a longer ride but the clients hunting this time of year save the cost of flying to Fort Smith.

The Hunt

The hunting camp set right in the center of the hunting area. From camp, you can watch one of the big natural fields where the Bison Feed. There are many of these fields walking distance from camp so we can hunt without making noise.

A bison hunt is a spot-and-stock type of hunt. When we see the Bison (Buffalo) the professional hunter and the client will stock up to the bison to get a clear shot. The field and other areas to hunt are accessible by ATV or snowmobiles, which will be used to get to these areas.

While in these areas you will have a very good chance to spot Timber Wolfs. The Timber Wolfs in this area are some of the largest Wolfs in the world they can take down the Bison ( Buffalo ).

When the Bison ( Buffalo ) is shot the Professional hunter will skin, skull, and take all the meat back to camp.

When the 10-day hunt is over you will be transported back to Fort Smith to a hotel where you will fly out of Fort Smith the next morning. If you came from Fort McMurray up the ice road then you will be heading back that same way to a hotel, for you to gather yourself and probably shower before your self-booked flights home.

 

location
