Alberta Waterfowl Hunts
Our waterfowl hunts are either 3 or 6 day. You will enjoy goose hunts & duck hunts along the North Saskatchewan River in eastern Alberta We have 6-8 hunters per week at camp, allowing ample shooting and quality shooting for each hunter so that hunters will reach bag limits more often. Every hunters possession limit is a 2 day bag limit which is 16 geese, 16 ducks and 60 snow geese.
We are very fortunate that we have the North Saskatchewan River right next to us that holds the waterfowl until freeze up. Even on a dry year we always have the river to keep us in birds. I have experienced spotters who live in the area and keep in close, contact with the land owners. They know where the peas are being planted and where the duck and geese are roosting to make sure that we have the same land access or even more each year.
 
We usually target geese in the mornings, but we will also shoot some ducks when the opportunity presents itself. In the afternoon we hunt ducks on fields and close to ponds with final approach blinds where we retrieve 100% of the birds. The equipment we use is full bodied decoys and a mixture of different sized shells. I have final approach blinds used for wheat or barley stubble and pea fields. Once we fill our daily limits we pack up and head to the Lodge where I have a shop set up to clean the birds at no extra cost to you. If you do not want to help you can have your birds cleaned at your expense.
 
I have two dog runs if you wish to bring your hunting dog along. I also have a Chesapeake for retrieving. All hunters stay in a lodge attached to my house with all the amenities of home. Your accommodations include 2 hunters per room with 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. We also have full cell phone coverage, wireless internet, and satellite TV. In the evenings, we also have plenty of room to socialize while sitting around a bonfire. I think waterfowl hunting is the most enjoyable hunt with friends and family and we strive to make it the best holiday possible.
ALBERTA 3 Day waterfowl hunts - $2,500 US or 6 day waterfowl hunts for $4,500 US (this includes shells)
I have never been to Canada before, but after my trip with Neil and NorthStar Outiftting I will never go anywhere else than with Neil.
The hunts were unbelievable and the accomodations were better than expected. After returning from the trip and having a show and tell with my friends, they have all begged me to give them your information. I really enjoyed the week of duck/goose hunting and will definately be back very soon to do it again. I have never seen the variety and amount of waterfowl anywhere else! Thanks for all your and your staff's hard work and hope to see you next winter! Thanks again Neil! Hope to see you in Feb for the Daytona 500!! Sincerely, Sam Little
Alberta Whitetail Deer Hunts
We hunt farm land, fringe, and the deep woods, by stand hunting, spot stalk, and driving many bush roads. We hunt both private and forest land. We have over 50 heated tower stands in Alberta and this allows us to move around depending on wind conditions for scent control. Our stands are set up mainly on deer trails between the feeding and bedding area on 100 ft wide cut lines. Our stand location is about 200 yards from the primary crossing. This gives you as much time as possible to judge and make the shot.
 
Along with tower stands we also offer quick pop up blinds. These can be hidden well with all sorts of different type of camouflage patterns, allowing them to be diverse depending on weather conditions. These blinds can be set up in very tight slough bottoms and allow for numerous different set ups for different hunters. I try to accommodate your style of hunting as much as possible taking into consideration the weather forecast for that day to give you the best possible odds at harvesting a trophy buck. Our average Whitetail for the past 3 years is 150 BC.
Our lodge boasts all the amenities of home. Accommodations include 2 hunters per room with 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. We also have full cell phone coverage, wireless internet, and satellite tv. In the evenings, we also have plenty of room to socialize.

North Star Outfitters offers more opportunities for success then any other outfitter I've ever worked with.
After experiencing numerous white tail deer hunts with outfitters in Kansas, Nebraska, and Saskatchewan, I was extremely pleased and most impressed with my experience with North Star Outfitters and my Alberta hunt. First, no one can guarantee a successful hunt, but after a thorough evaluation of your hunting desires, North Star Outfitters offers more opportunities for success then any other outfitter I've ever worked with. Neil and Alyssa Johnson are passionate and truly want your hunt and experience with them to be the best. And when you are not in the field, the accommodations are second to none. Neil, I'll be back for future hunts and want Alysha as my guide again. You and your staff are the most professional I have experienced and I would highly recommend your organization to anyone. (And for those of you wondering, I bagged a 160+ massive eight point with drop tine on the 5th day).

Alberta Rifle Mule Deer Hunts
We offer five rifle mule deer hunts in November which can be done in conjunction with a whitetail deer hunt. We hunt 80% spot & stalk. We are very selective in the deer we choose to harvest. These deer are from a 170-190 class with an average for the year of 180. This is a very enjoyable & scenic hunt where you will see many mule deer bucks to choose from. You may also hunt in tower stands we have set up on on alfalfa fields, where the mule deer and whitetail deer feed in the evenings.
Along with tower stands we also offer quick pop up blinds. These can be hidden well with all sorts of different type of camouflage patterns, allowing them to be diverse depending on weather conditions. I try to accommodate your style of hunting as much as possible taking into consideration the weather forecast for that day to give you the best possible odds at harvesting a trophy buck.

Alberta Black Bear Hunts
Hunt big bruin blacks and colored bears, 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! We take 24 bears hunters with about 5-6 hunters per week in ranch country just north of the rich farmland where the food is very plentiful.
Our bear hunting area is about 500,000 acres. 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. We have a 2 bear per hunter quota. If you choose to harvest two bears, I only allow you to harvest 1 colored bear 6 foot or better and the other must be black. During your black bear hunts, you will see between 4-8 bears in a evening and in a full week you will see up towards of 30-40 bears.
 
Our season runs from the 15th of April until the 31st of May. All our bear hunts are over bait with bait sites at a minimum of 4 miles apart. Shooting distances from stands for bow hunters are from 20-25 yds. and rifle hunters from 50-100 yards. I feed the bears as much as possible and I do not limit them to how much they can eat. I believe that if the meal is easy to obtain they will continue to return on a regular basis.
Every one thinks bear hunting over bait is like shooting fish in a barrel, well if it was only about killing that might be the case. But harvesting a trophy bear takes careful placement of stands to outsmart the trophy bears we want. Most trophy bears are at least 7 years old or older so you can imagine how many times this bear has come to know how to eat every well and be safe doing so.

"Loved our Alberta Bear Bow Hunt with North Star Outfitting."
We are a husband and wife hunting team and North Star really went out of their way to accommodate us and make our hunt a hunt of a lifetime. North Star proved to be a quality operation which delivers what they advertise. Man do they know their game. Stand placement was excellent, the wind was always in our faces, and we had strategic cover. We saw lots of bear and had plenty of opportunity to harvest several quality bear. We each harvested a color phase black bear; one of which is Pope and Young. The food was the best we ever had on a hunting trip (we miss you Kathy) and the accommodations were great. Loved how friendly and knowledgeable the guides were (Neil, Allyssa, Ryan ... thanks for everything). They really worked hard set us up for success. We will be back next year and bring our 13 year old son for his first bear hunting adventure! See you Spring 2011.
Bear & Julie Lawrence.
