About the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society (APOS)
In 1997, the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society (APOS) was established as a delegated administrative organization (DAO) for the Government of Alberta. APOS’ delegated responsibilities include licensing the province’s hunting guides and professional outfitters, managing the distribution of guided hunting allocations, and holding members accountable to a Code of Ethics. We provide members with competitive liability insurance, a voice within government, and advocacy on key issues. APOS represents over 500 professional outfitters and handles licensing for nearly 1,600 hunting guides.
About Alberta
Alberta is a hunter’s paradise, featuring a wide variety of big game and bird game species. Some of the game you will find in Alberta are moose, black bear, elk, bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, mule deer, antelope, cougar, wolf, bison, waterfowl, and upland game birds. An astounding 1,708 animals from Alberta have qualified for the Boone and Crockett Club’s (B&C) record book. The fact that 749 of these entries are animals taken since 2000 is a testament to the quality of wildlife available in our province.
The diverse terrain in Alberta allows for hunting styles suited to each individual hunter. Whether you are looking to experience the high peaks of the Rockies, the vast expanse of the prairies or the majestic boreal forest, Alberta’s outfitters have a hunt for you. APOS members operate an array of accommodation options with everything from cozy lodges to backcountry tenting. There’s so much to see and do here in Alberta, one week simply won’t be enough: you’ll want to take your time, explore what Alberta has to offer for guests of all ages, and share your experiences here with your family and friends.
My name is Charles Beauchamp owner operator. Of Birch Mountain Outfitter. I started hunting at the age of 12. With my dad’s friends that were outfitters hunting Moose on river trips or fly out to camps. This when I fell in love with the wilderness trips and going into remote areas to hunt. In 1978 I became a licensed hunting guide. I worked for other hunting outfitters till 1992.
In 1992 I became an Outfitter in the North of Alberta the Fort McMurray area where I live. Fort McMurray is located 200 km north of any farmland. The areas that I hunt are very remote and is a vast wilderness. To do this kind of business you have to have a love for the wilderness and be devoted to doing a lot of work in the wilderness.
It takes many hours of background work for very hour hunted from cutting trails and building camp and per baiting bears. And organizing the equipment and food.
With past clients commenting that I run a 5-star bush hotel. I have clients from Germany, Austria, Denmark, USA and now China. We have home cooked meals in all camps. And warm places to sleep. Good food, Good Camps and Good Hunting.
Spring Black Bear Hunting is done from one main camp. With Black Bear baits with High seats in a radius of 60 km of camp. The Black Bear population is Very High. It is not if you will shoot a Black Bear but how Big of a Black Bear you will get.
Moose Hunting is done in two main areas with small spike camp in in the area close to lakes that hold the Moose in those areas. The client will move between the spike camps. To give each Hunter the best possibility of shooting a Trophy Bull Moose.
Bison Hunting is done when in late fall and winter. This is when the Bison have the best Fur. The camp is in the area of the Bison and it is a spot and stock hunt. These are Wild Bison and do not know what a fence is.
We are Driftwood Valley Outfitters. We have been operating since 1987, as a family run business, in the north of British Columbia, Canada.
The diverse landscape that we enjoy has many beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers and an abundance of wildlife. High in the alpine is where the goats reside along with some high-country black bears. The green spaces in the spring and the huckleberry covered hillsides in the fall are where the black bears reside. The lake & river country is where the moose spent most of the year feeding on aspen, willow and water plants. The grizzly bears and wolves roam in all these different habitats and utilize any opportunity that presents itself.
The mountain goat hunt is spent in the high alpine where we enjoy the majestic views during the late summer and into the fall. There are a few different ways to hunt goats with various methods of accommodation. For the adventurous the backpack tent hunt is the way to go, exciting & challenging from beginning to end, wandering the mountains with a light camp. For the hunter who prefers the comforts of a cabin we have a base camp high up on an alpine lake. Mountain goat hunts are never easy, but the alpine lake provides a good place to recover.
The Black Bear hunt takes place in the spring just as the clover and dandelions starts to grow on the side roads and in the open areas. This provides the optimal opportunities to see the bears as they come out of hibernation looking for greens. The method of hunting here is spot-and-stalk from the vehicle or walking the bush roads or glassing the hillsides. The Moose hunt is most productive during the rut, right in the middle of the fall season. Waking up to frost covered meadows the crisp morning air lets you really enjoy the Canadian wilderness. Here sitting in clearings; glassing and calling or from a lake shore is the most assured approach to hunt.
Our trapline adventures take place amid the Canadian winters. You get to stay in a little trapper cabin on the trapline in the bush. The activities include accompanying the licensed trapper; helping build sets and traps and checking the trapline every day for bounty.
No matter what option you decide upon the experience will be unforgettable. The memories made in the Canadian wilderness are one of a kind.
In the late 1970’s Great White Holdings was founded by Lloyd McMahon with the firm belief that Alberta was home to the best trophy whitetail and waterfowl hunting in the world. Many years later the same belief holds true and has been confirmed by the number of successful hunts, huge trophies and return clients.
Over the years our operation has expanded to include mule deer, black bear, Western Canadian moose, Alaska Yukon moose, Barren ground caribou, grizzly bear and predatory K9 hunts. Great White is a family owned and operated business.
It is currently run by Lloyd and his son, Jon McMahon. Both Lloyd & Jon are full time professional outfitters and guides, avid hunters, fishermen and outdoors men.
Lloyd & Jon pride themselves in offering the best locations in North America to hunt. Great White’s lodges have been strategically placed across the province and Alaska in the best areas for quality trophies and large numbers of game.
The lodges offer comfortable accommodations, pleasant staff and great home cooked meals. With an average of 80% return clients each year, hunting dates book quickly.

I have owned my Alberta outfitting business for over 28 years. At North Star Outfitting we personally guide whitetail deer hunts, mule deer hunts, black bear hunts, moose hunts and waterfowl hunts. When you book a hunt with us you will be accompanied by a professional hunter who is focused on the specific species you are hunting. We know what it takes to make your hunt successful and enjoyable.
Bear hunts
We have been providing black bear hunts in Alberta for over 28 years. Hunt big bruin blacks and colored bears in the spring and fall, no bugs, 5 star lodge, eat like a king and sleep like a rock - that’s what you can expect when you come black bear hunting with North Star Outfitters! Our fall black bear hunts are spot & stalk only. We hunt them in the corn fields and oat fields in September and October.
I own 90% of the permits therefore I hold the key to managing the black bear hunting in this area. I have 50% color phase bears with 25% harvested being colored phased bears over 6 foot and 25% of the black bears harvested are over 7ft with 20” plus skulls. During the spring hunts, you will see between 8-12 bears in a evening and in a full week you will see up towards of 40-50 bears. Our spring bear hunts are over bait which allows you to size the bear more efficiently. Fall bear hunts may be added to our early season deer, moose hunts and waterfowl hunts.
Moose Hunts
Our hunting area is about 500,000 acres of farmland and boreal forest. The area we hunt makes this a relatively easy hunt and not physically challenging.
Moose rut hunt for archery hunters only.
The moose are very active this time of year and respond very well to cow calls. The larger bulls are usually taken on this hunt averaging 40 inches. We take a minimum number of hunters per season during this time to keep success rates very high. Our rut moose hunt can also be combined with our fall black bear hunts for bow hunters.
November post-rut moose hunts are for rifle hunters only.
This is a great time to hunt Alberta moose. After the rut is over the bulls are more social, often seen in bachelor groups. Here we are hunting a lot of the farmland, in the canola and alfalfa fields. We see between 5 to 10 moose per day, cows, calves and bulls, with an average bull of 40 inch. November moose hunt can be combined with a whitetail deer rut hunt for old mature bucks.
North River Outfitting is a small, family-run outfitting business operated by Ron Nemetchek and Maria Origoni. That family feel is extended to our guides, staff and our hunters. When you join us on a hunt in this spectacular and remote part of British Columbia, you will feel at home and welcomed into our hunting family. That same care, hard work and attention to detail goes into everything we do.
This is Ron’s 38th year in the outfitting business. In addition to starting his own business, Ron has guided big game hunts all over North America, including Alaska. Ron has been flying since he was 18 and his experience as a pilot makes our operation very unique in British Columbia. From our remote main lodge, Ron can shuttle small loads into even more remote locations, setting up camps in places that would be unfeasible for anyone else.
Maria Origoni joined the North River Outfitting team more than 10 years ago. Having run her own business in Alberta, Maria has brought her excellent organizational strengths and focus on customer service to the outfitting business. Additionally, Maria is an excellent cook! Maria is from Switzerland and she speaks English, Swiss, German and Italian.
Together, Ron and Maria are proud of the excellent wilderness experience they offer to their clients in Alberta and British Columbia. Their tireless work, attention to detail and client-oriented approach are why so many hunters return each year. At North River Outfitting, we offer hunts of unmatched quality. We boast outstanding success in our harvest. Much of that success has to do with the area we are blessed to hunt. But a great deal of our success comes in how we manage it. We take far fewer hunters than this area can support. There’s a good chance that when we fly you into a remote camp for your hunt, that area hasn’t been hunted in years. Our hunting area is massive, it’s remote, and it is game-rich.
Our British Columbia hunts offer the ultimate in a wilderness experience. We hunt the most remote part of B.C. at the far northern end of the province. From our main lodge, you will fly to your remote hunting location. There’s no messing around with horses or long days in the saddle. In a 20-minute flight, you’ll be in an area that is so remote, the animals you see may never have encountered another human.
This is the ultimate wilderness hunt. We have the success and the trophy quality to prove it. Nowhere else will you find such quality moose, stone sheep, mountain goat, mountain caribou and grizzly all in the same area and without any hunting pressure.
North River Outfitters is also specialized to make you and your family discover the rich and spectacular wilderness in this remote part of British Columbia. Discover the great outdoors, wildlife and wonders of the nature and make memories of a life time with your family.
Wilderness moose hunts in Alberta, Canada
We offer top quality moose hunts in Alberta’s most remote, untouched wilderness on the edge of the rocky mountains with little hunting pressure. If you want a great chance at a 5O” bull, this hunts for you! Our all-inclusive moose hunts are during the rut in late September and early October. We hunt by calling the big bulls in close. To have a moose come to a call is one of the most exciting moments you can ever have hunting. The moose in our area can grow over 60” and can be very spectacular with long, wide paddles, and big fronts! SaskAdrenaline Outfitters have taken multiple moose in this area that have exceeded the Boone and Crockett minimum!
Peak Of The Rut Moose Hunt
These general season moose tags come into effect the day after archery season ends. These tags are very limited and give you the opportunity to hunt the peak of the rut with any weapon, and the temperatures falling below freezing. This is the very best time to hunt these incredible animals with plenty of bull moose seen and heard during the course of your hunt. A 50” bull is very attainable at this time and with only three permits a year we try to target some big bulls! This combo hunt includes seven days of fully guided moose, whitetail, mule deer and wolf hunting, wall tent accommodations, meals, plus trophy preparation.
Archery Moose Hunt
The only thing more exciting than hunting giant bull moose in the rut, is doing it with nothing but the old stick and string! Moose hunting at this time of the year can sometimes be the most productive when the bulls are just starting to search for cows. A lone bull is more susceptible to come into a cow call than one that has already found a mate and depending on the mood he’s in you may get quite the show! Generally your best times to hunt are early morning and just before dark but if you get some cooler weather especially mixed with some precipitation the hunting can be incredible all day. This combo hunt includes seven days of fully guided moose, whitetail, mule deer and wolf hunting, wall tent accommodations, meals, plus trophy preparation.
Accommodations put you right in their backyard
We take a lot of pride in our camps and make sure you are kept comfortable while enjoying the wilderness experience. Our camps are kept neat, clean, and organized with generator power complete with lights, plugins, and a few electronic comforts of home. Each tent has cots and a wood stove with a well-stocked wood pile. Bring a nice warm sleeping bag, as nights may get down into the ‘teens! While at camp we make sure you are well fed, warm, and dry. Our camps are set up right in the area of the animals we are hunting. Camp is off the beaten path but easily accessible.
