Hunt Alberta Wolf

Magnificent Trophy

Sportsmen hunting other big game often take wolves as an incidental species. There is however a growing recognition that the wolf is a magnificent trophy in its own right, and as such there is increasing interest in hunting them.

Wolf populations are high throughout the Boreal, Foothills and Mountain Regions of Alberta. These wolves can reach 120 pounds in weight and vary in color from light gray to black. The pelt of an Alberta wolf, taken in its winter prime, is a beautiful reminder of a great hunt for this shy and rarely seen trophy.

Facts for the Hunter

Wolves may be hunted by the holder of a wolf license (a nominal fee) from the opening of any big game season until the end of the spring bear season. Some outfitters offer winter wolf hunts, when the pelts are at their best, and no other hunting seasons are open.

Baiting wolves is legal and effective. As well, during late February and early March, wolves can be "howled in" during the mating season. Wolves in hearing range of a predator call will often respond, and can be lured in close.

There is no limit on wolves, but they are subject to CITES regulations. Hunters may not take their wolf trophy home with them, but must wait for the issuance of a CITES permit and have the trophy shipped.
