ABOUT
US:
Mountain Spirit Outfitters
are located in Hinton, Alberta, Canada, fifteen
minutes from Jasper National Park, in the foothills
of the Rocky Mountains. Not only do we offer
excellent hunting but the country we hunt is a
beautiful part of the world.
We
offer hunts for Whitetail & Mule Deer, Wolf,
Black Bear & elk. We can also offer Trap Line
Tours were you can experience the life of the old
time trappers.
We
put a lot of time and effort into the preparation
for your hunt, and then we put in 110% effort during
your hunt, our sole aim is for you to have a
successful hunt.
Hunting
is our life, our passion, it's what we live for,
come and join us in the hunt, you won't be sorry.
DEER
HUNTS:
Deer,
for many people, are the ultimate quarry species. In
the area that we hunt there are many high ridges
covered in spacious growing poplar trees.
Whitetail deer flourish in the little pockets,
hardly ever moving very far, many of them here die
from old age in these little places. Mule deer
travel a little in the same areas as the whitetail
deer but, generally are found in their own little
pockets, and we will "spot & stalk"
them.
To
hunt either whitetail or mule deer one must be
patient.
Heavy
pre-season scouting is done to find those great
little spots.
Earlier
in the season, heavily traveled trails are hunted,
then as the season progresses into a heavier rut,
scrape lines and rubs are the places to set up
stands. This is strictly bush hunting, so your best
opportunities will be realized by sitting quietly in
heated ground blinds and heated free standing
blinds. For mule deer we also use "spot &
stalk".
While
sitting, grunting and doe bleating have all worked
well on numerous occasions in the past.
Rattling
is best done e pre-rut to draw in that big buck.
BEAR
HUNTS:
The area that we hunt bears in has many clear cuts
and the primary method that we use is "spot
& stalk." Trying to catch them browsing or
rooting for new shoots is not always as easy as it
might seem. Ever wondered how close you are able to
sneak up to a bear? Well, come and try the
challenge.
Bow
hunters are welcome
The
primary color phase in this area is black, although
there are some bears in the blonde and chocolate
color phases.
Although
spring bear season runs through April and May,
during April and possibly the early part of May,
there could still be plenty of snow on the ground.
Contact us if you need to discuss options.
Sunday
hunting is not allowed in this area.
All
of our guided hunts are "ethical & fair
chase"
ELK
HUNTS:
Have you ever dreamed of being in amongst the bulls
during the rut, you bugling and them answering? The
sounds of "war" as they rip up the forest,
will it come to you or will it drift away silently
like a ghost in the forest? The anticipation and
trepidation as the bull comes crashing through the
timber towards you. Is it going to be the bull of
your dreams? Is it going to recognize you as a human
being, or just run right over the top of you! Will
it be the right bull for you? The thing about elk
hunting, you never really know what will happen
until it does, and quite often, even then you may
still believe that you are dreaming. This is the
stuff that elk hunters dream of.
We
believe that we can fulfill those dreams for you.
There
is nothing quite like an elk hunt during the rut,
the sights, the sounds and the smell combine to make
the hunt an experience of a life time.
This
is a 3 point or better area.
WOLF
HUNTS:
The wolf population in this area is of a very high
standard, so high in fact that they transplanted
some to Yellowstone National Park.
Take
a look at the pictures on this page, these were taken
by a digital game camera located at one of our bait
stations. The wolves arrived March 23rd 2007 and
were still there March 29th when we recovered the
camera. You can judge for your self the quality of
wolf in this area. The bait had been an entire moose
carcass with a bunch of moose heads and hides, this
is typical of the bait that we use.
Scroll
down for images of wolf havested by our clients.
As
many of you know wolf hunting is a waiting game, one
sits in a comfortable heated blind along their
natural travel routes waiting for them to trot in,
which may happen at any time or not at all.
To
offer a higher quality hunt we have decided to do
some changes with our wolf hunts to ensure higher
success and more client satisfaction.
Bait
stations will be set out mid February, at the start
of the mating season, and checked daily, when the
wolves start to feed on the bait we will contact you
to fly up immediately and take your trophy.
Our
hunt price will still be $3200, with a $2000 deposit
required, with the balance paid on arrival. If,
after three days of hunting without success you want
to end your hunt we will refund $1200 to you.
If
you want to book your hunt the old fashioned way,
that is acceptable also, the choice is yours.
Very
Important: There is no limit on the number of wolves
that you can take.
TRAPPING:
If you had the chance would you consider a journey
into the past? Now is your chance to experience a
microcosm of the history of this great country.
Learn
how the mountain men of the nineteenth century lived
and worked as they eked out a living from the
wilderness. It was never an easy life for trappers,
but the rigors of their lives where far out weighed
by the surrounding natural beauties of the mountains
and the wildlife. Being able to see these things in
the raw is something in itself
We
offer six day "Trap Line Tours" where you
can learn how the trappers of the past harvested
furs. We don't expect you to live like the mountain
men did two hundred years a go; we even use modern
transport where necessary. But you will still learn
the techniques used by those extraordinary men and
experience nature as it has been for thousands of
years.
