In Southern Alberta we have both bow and rifle Shiras Moose rut hunts.
The bow hunt is done from a cabin with your experienced guide doing the cooking. Remote camps usually consist of Bush tents with wood stoves and bunk beds. Any camps with 4 to 6 hunters have a cook. Spike camp situations of 2 or less hunters generally are done in a situation where the guide takes care of the cooking. In these spike camps some prepared food is generally taken in so as to facilitate the ease of cooking. Great Canadian food is a staple in all camps.
In 2005 we took the world record Shiras Moose with a bow. This bull was a 59 inch 13*13 scoring 503 3/8ths.
He was not the only big bull located here and we have seen bulls over the 60 inch mark.
We generally run about 12 moose hunters per year trying for quality rather than quantity hunts.
