From Silver Fox :
The Silver Fox Outfitters “two tag” hunters have averaged more than a 150% shooting rate for close to a decade. This is one of the highest success rates in the province. We manage this by regulating the number of hunters we take, using fresh quality bait hauled to the hunting area in our own reefer trailer, setting strategically located baits, and by ensuring that our guides know the area we hunt. Our past success rate speaks for itself and when compared to the possibly less than 50% hunter success in other provinces/states, it’s easy to see that Alberta is the place to be for fantastic bear hunting. Eric Rauhanen and the Silver Fox Outfitters “team” are the right choice for you.
THE BEARS
Our area has one of the highest trophy bear populations in North America with about 10 - 15% being color phased. Light hunting pressure allows us to produce a higher percentage of larger, older boars for our hunters. This is representative of a mature population. Bears are so plentiful here that each hunter is allowed two tags.
BAIT HUNTING
We use beavers, butcher scraps, bakery scraps, restaurant grease, oats, molasses and specialty bear lures for bait and it’s hauled to a site and stored in a 28 ft reefer trailer. Our baits are set when there’s still snow on the ground, several weeks before your arrival. Maintained regularly they become the bear’s primary food source. Baits are accessible by four-wheel drive trucks, all-terrain vehicles or jet boat. As nocturnal animals, bears are hunted primarily in the evening. Hunters are taken to active bait sites in the late afternoon. Portable tree stands are the preferred method in our area. They are 12 to 15 feet up and 15 to 20 yards from the bait. We are quite far north and the sun sets late. We are normally finished hunting by 10:30 p.m. and out
of the bush by midnight.
SPOT & STALK
Few things can compare to the excitement of stalking trophy bears. We offer both five-day as
well as the recommended ten-day hunt. They are normally restricted to one hunter per guide to
ensure a maximum number of opportunities at quality bears. Highly mobile spike camps are
utilized, allowing the hunter to instantly move to where the game is and to cover more ground.
Hunters that have spot and stalk hunted know that nothing compares to taking a trophy bruin
from the ground.
BAG LIMIT
We hunt a two-bear area; each tag can be purchased individually. Your second tag can be purchased optionally at any time during your hunt. We have crippled bear policy i.e. it cost you a tag.
WHAT TO BRING
Hunters are responsible for their own personal equipment. A complete and detailed list is sent
several weeks before your arrival, or Silver Fox can e-mail you now if you’d like. It will include
such items as a camera with lots of memory, warm quiet clothing, rain gear, rubber boots,
sleeping bag and personal effects. For entry into Canada, you need a passport.
