When you book your hunt with us you are getting experience, dedication and professionalism. We expect you to be successful in an area that holds top quality trophy animals of the species you choose to hunt, and enjoy yourself to the fullest.

We believe in fair chase hunting and you will experience the best. We only hunt the areas that we would hunt ourselves.

Upon your arrival at camp you will be greeted by myself, my wife and four boys. We will make your stay as comfortable as possible and you will be treated as part of the family. Our camps and equipment are in excellent condition. We have good home cooked meals and the kitchen is always open with lots of good food to eat.

WE ONLY HOST UP TO 8 DEER HUNTERS, 2 MOOSE HUNTERS AND TWO BLACK BEAR HUNTERS PER YEAR.

Unlike many Alberta Outfitters we live in our hunting area and we know it very well. We see the game very often and know their travel routes. Every year we continue to refine our hunting operation, hosting one to two hunters each week and taking care of every detail.

We know what our business thrives on repeat customers and their friends. Consistency in how the hunts are run and striving to improve is what makes our hunts a complete success. We also only hire the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable and hard hunting guides we can find when hiring guides is absolutely necessary. Our clients success is our top priority. We will make every effort to provide an honest, professional, personalized, first class hunting experience and to meet all of your expectations for a dream hunt. Without you we would not be in the field. Many clients return year after year.

We hope you will do the same, come hunting with Raven River Outfitters and leave as a friend that can’t wait to come back.
