Booking a hunt and payment schedule:
A deposit of 25% of the complete cost is required to book a hunt. An additional 25% is required by January 10 of your hunt year then the final 50% balance is due by April 1 on spring bear hunts and August 1 for fall hunts. Once a deposit is received by us then a hunt contract will be sent to you to be signed and mailed back. Except for transferring deposits to a friend all deposits are fully non-refundable. The deposits cannot be transferred to a future year.

Flight, pick up and hotel information:
The easiest way to get to our area is to book your flights into Grande Prairie Alberta through Uniglobe Geo Travel 780-424-8310. On all of our hunts we have you arrive in the evening the day before your hunt. You will then get a shuttle or taxi to a hotel and then we will pick you up at the hotel in the morning at 11 am. The hotel cost is your responsibility (about $200 US funds). The best hotel choices which have a shuttle service from the airport are Holiday Inn 1-780-402-6886, Pomeroy Inn 1-780-831-2999, Super 8 Motel 1-780-532-8288, Best Western 1-780-402-2378. Make sure to book your hotel well in advance, this is a small but booming oil city. This overnight hotel stay gives enough time if you have a delayed flight, you miss a connecting flight or your baggage gets lost. The bags can be located, flown in on a later flight and delivered to your hotel. It also gives time to sight in your gun or bow before the hunt. If your hunt is in the middle of the season then we can usually get in a short 1/2 day hunt. If the season isn't open yet then it becomes a scouting evening.

It is an hour and 15 minute drive to our hunting lodge from Grande Prairie. The flights to Grande Prairie usually have a stop over in Edmonton, where you may rent a vehicle and do the six hour drive to the lodge if you prefer. Budget 1-780-448-2000 gives a good rate, about $300 for a car, just quote rate code "APOS". Directions to the lodge will be provided by us. This option also generally makes changing your departure date if you tag out early easier and less expensive to do. Just avoid flying with Air Canada. You have to fly with them or West Jet airlines to get into Grande Prairie though. West Jet is preferable. On your departure we take you directly to the Grande Prairie airport from the lodge. Most departing flights leave first thing in the morning.

What We Provide:
We provide all your meals, accommodations, transportation and field care of trophies once we pick you up from the hotel in Grande Prairie. We do provide some soft drinks/pop and snacks but liquor is not provided. We will stop at a store for you to purchase additional amounts of pop, snacks and any liquor on your way to the lodge.

Additional Hunt Information:
It is your responsibility to make sure you will not be refused entry into Canada. Refusal of entry by Canada Customs and Immigration is not sufficient reason for a refund. If you've ever had any criminal charges, even a D.U.I., you might have difficulty entering Canada and may need to clear it up months beforehand. We can help you to do this. Call if you have questions about it. If you are coming on a rifle hunt then you will need a firearms declaration form to clear your rifle through customs. We will send you one a month or two before your hunt starts. There is a $30 payment at the border to process this form. If you have another hunt planned in Alberta in the same year you can only shoot one animal of each species per year. We also have a wound policy. For the baited bear hunts the policy is that drawing blood counts as a kill. Since you have 2 bear licenses you can kill or wound a maximum of 2 bears total. On all the other hunts you are allowed a maximum of 2 wounds. That means that if you draw blood on 2 animals and we can't find either one of them then your hunt is over. Of course we always make every effort to recover any wounded animals and we don't encourage unethical shots.

Extra Costs:
Besides the $30 rifle import form the only other extra costs would be one nights hotel upon arrival in Grande Prairie (about $200 US), meat processing and shipping or extra baggage on your flight home (the amount for all 3 of these items varies greatly depending on species of the animal and amount of meat, horns, cape you are taking home). A final extra cost would be any tips for the guide and cook that you feel they deserve (standard total amount, split ¾ to the guide and ¼ to the cook, is approximately 10% of the hunt cost). Tipping is entirely at your discretion though and any amount is greatly appreciated.

Getting your bear hides, antlers, cape and meat home:
The easiest way to get your antlers and cape back home is for us to put the items in a thick cardboard box and for you to take it with you or your flight home (the airline generally charges $50 to $100 per extra bag). We put garden hose around the antler tips, clean, dry and then tape up the skull plate and we freeze the cape. Frozen meat can also be taken home with you in a cooler. Generally all the meat must be cut by a licensed butcher and you are responsible for paying for the processing. Shipping meat back to your home is another possibility but it is an expensive, complicated and time consuming task. On bear hunts you need to bring a duffle bag to put your frozen hides in then you can just take them home with you on your departing flight. Please call Mike if you would like more information on the available options for both the spring and fall hunts.
