Black Bear Hunt in Alberta/ Lone Pine

We collaborate with an experienced and professional outfitter offering a classic black bear hunt in Central Alberta, Canada – an area with a dense bear population and very limited hunting pressure.

The hunt takes place in North-Central Alberta, within a non-baiting zone, meaning that all hunting is conducted as spot and stalk. Bears are located and approached on foot – a challenging and authentic hunting style that demands patience and skill. The outfitter has operated sustainable hunts in this area for the past five years, and it holds a strong and healthy bear population, including brown and the rare blonde color phases.

Hunting Area

The terrain varies between forest, open oil fields, recent logging areas, and higher ridges. Hunters are transported around the area using Argo ATVs, regular ATVs, UTVs, and 4x4 vehicles, depending on terrain conditions. Hunting takes place mainly in open cut blocks and along forest and access roads, where new grass and fresh shoots attract the bears in spring.

Accommodation

The outfitter now offers lodging in his modern, fully equipped hunting lodge – a significant upgrade from the former wilderness camp. The lodge features three comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a cozy lounge area where guests can relax after the hunt.

Meals are prepared by a skilled in-house chef, serving hearty, home-style meals made with fresh, local ingredients. After an exciting day in the wilderness, you can look forward to great food and a warm, comfortable atmosphere.

With modern facilities, great food, and a relaxed setting, this lodge provides the perfect base for an authentic black bear adventure in the heart of Alberta’s wild nature.

Transport and Itinerary

The outfitter provides all transportation between Edmonton Airport and the hunting area. Hunters are picked up directly at the airport and driven to the lodge.

Depending on flight schedules, it may be necessary to spend one night at a hotel in Edmonton before and/or after the hunt (at your own expense). After the hunt, hunters are transferred back to Edmonton in time for their return flight.
