Hunting

April 27th, 2009

Does the call of the wild, call out to you?
Well, then the region around Grande Prairie would be the one “a” calling you! The Grande Prairie Region is the perfect place if you love the wilderness and big game hunting. Whether you are a big conventional hunter using a rifle, or enjoy the traditional use of a bow, Grande Prairie offers exceptional scenery with all the excitement and adventure anyone can dream about.

In the spring, the region is a hunters paradise for trophy black bear. During the fall, bow and rifle hunters try for trophy elk, white tail deer, mule deer, bighorn sheep and moose. Regional Sporting stores also sponsor the annual Great Elk Hunt and Awards Dinner every Autumn. Call the Tackle Shack  (780) 539-6354, for more information.

As for the hunting seasons, licensing costs and regulations may change from year to year, go on-line to www.albertaoutdoorsmen.org/huntingregs or Alberta Sustainable Resource Development www3.gov.ab.ca/srd/ for more up-to-date hunting information.
