Recognized as one of North America’s premier mule deer hunting destinations, Alberta’s genetics produce some of the continent’s greatest trophy mule deer. From the farmland of northern Alberta to the open grassland and coulee habitat of the south, to the Rocky Mountain foothills, Alberta’s outfitters consistently put record book deer in front of their hunters. Alberta has long held the world record for non-typical mule deer, a 355 ¼-inch monster whose score will likely never be topped. The 2022 Minister’s Special License holder took a giant buck scoring almost 280, non-typical inches.

Alberta presents the most diverse mule deer hunting experience available anywhere. Hunting conditions and styles can vary greatly, depending on the season and area hunted. From horseback hunting or hiking to spot-and-stalk style hunting as you roll around vast landscapes glassing thousands of acres of highly productive habitat; every situation may warrant a different technique, depending on where you and the buck of your choice, but our skilled outfitters know how to find big deer and get you the best opportunity at your Alberta monarch. Alberta is a mule deer hunter’s paradise! This Minister’s Special License gives the lucky winning bidder a world-class opportunity to take the trophy of a lifetime. In many parts of North America, mule deer numbers are in decline, but Alberta’s populations are thriving. From the vast northern croplands of the famed ‘Peace Country’ to the rolling grassland and coulee habitats of southern Alberta, few places offer more diversity and opportunity to harvest a monster mule deer. Alberta’s genetics are among the very best in the world. In fact, the largest mule deer ever taken, hit the snow-covered ground right here in Alberta, the “Ed Broder Buck” which scored 355 2/8-inches B&C! Annually many giant deer are still being taken in Alberta by hunters, scoring well over 200-inches – so who knows what possibilities await you with the MSL. With recent improvements to the Alberta MSL, this premier opportunity has now risen to the top of the heap for auction tags across North America. Two of the key changes include the expansion to year-round hunting, and weapon-of-choice (in compliance with Alberta’s provincial hunting regulations). Whether the holder of this permit comes once, or multiple times, they are certain to enjoy the hunt of a lifetime. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to pursue a true Alberta giant in the name of conservation.
