Email Lost Guide Outfitters - click here! Hunting in Alberta Canada for Moose, Elk, Whitetail Deer and Mule Deer

Lost Guide Outfitters is a small but Very Experienced operation, we have been in the outfitting business for over 20 years and have lived, ranched, trapped and hunted in this area for over 40 years. We offer Moose hunting, Elk hunting, Whitetail Deer hunting and Mule deer hunting in the Mountain zone and the Foothills zone of Alberta, Canada.

Lost Guide Outfitters provides Mountain Horseback Hunts in the Canadian Rockies and Ranchland Hunts in the Foothills. We offer a true wilderness hunting experience.




Mountain Horseback Hunts: Moose, Elk, Mule Deer & Whitetail hunting trips take place in the the upper Clearwater River valley, Lost Guide Lake and Forbidden Creek. It is bordered on the west by Banff National Park, home to some of the most beautiful big game animals in the world and to the south by the Ya-ha-Tinda Ranch, which is one of the largest elk wintering areas in western Canada. Motor vehicles are banned from this area. Our clients are transported to and from camp by team & wagon. Saddle and pack horses are provided for day hunts and fly camps. If you prefer to hunt on foot there are excellent opportunities to take a trophy close to camp.



Foothills Hunts: are similar to the Ranchland Hunts in the mountain region, but are lower in elevation and generally drier. Forests of spruce, pine and poplar are often broken by tracts of grassland. This area provides good habitat for a variety of wildlife. We have a comfortable tent camp, experienced Guides and an excellent Cook. As members of APOS (Alberta Professional Outfitters Society) we are bonded, fully licensed and insured.
