About this trip
Alberta November 1x1 Guided Moose Hunt — Optional Whitetail Add-On + Complimentary Wolf Opportunity
Experience a true late-season Alberta moose hunt with Zarichny Outfitting & Consulting. Our November hunts take place after the peak of the rut and offer a completely different style of hunting than our September and October rut hunts.
During the rut, hunters rely heavily on calling and locating bulls that are actively searching for cows. By November, our strategy shifts toward glassing, tracking and intercepting moose around feeding areas, travel corridors, timber edges, cutlines and open muskeg flats. Snow can make fresh tracks and sign easier to identify, while reduced vegetation provides better visibility into areas that can be difficult to hunt earlier in the season.
November in northern Alberta can also get seriously cold, but we're prepared for it. We provide heated and insulated box towers and ground blinds strategically positioned along the edges of productive muskeg flats and travel corridors. These setups allow hunters to stay warm, comfortable and focused while spending long periods watching productive country.
Depending on snow and access conditions, we use trucks, ATVs and snowmobiles to cover country and reach our hunting areas. Our guides adjust the strategy throughout the hunt based on weather, snow, fresh sign and current moose movement.
November also coincides with the Alberta whitetail rut, giving hunters the option to add a whitetail deer to create a true Alberta moose and whitetail combination hunt.
Every November moose hunt also includes a complimentary wolf hunting opportunity. Wolves may be encountered throughout the hunt, and following a successful moose harvest, the carcass can provide an excellent location to watch for returning wolves. Howling and calling may also be used when conditions allow.
This is an all-inclusive 1x1 guided hunt, with meals, accommodations, field transportation, and airport pickup and drop-off provided.

Rut vs. November: Our rut hunts are more calling-oriented and focus on bulls actively searching for cows. November hunting is about using colder weather, snow, fresh sign and feeding patterns to determine where bulls are living and putting the hunter in the right position when they move. Both offer an excellent Alberta moose experience—they're simply two very different ways to hunt them.
Whitetail availability is subject to outfitter allocation. Wolf hunting is an additional opportunity during the scheduled hunt and does not extend the length of the moose hunt.

What to bring
November in northern Alberta is a true late-season hunting experience, and conditions can change quickly. Temperatures can range from relatively mild Chinook weather to deep cold and heavy snow.
Chinooks can create excellent moose hunting conditions. Warmer weather following a cold stretch can get animals moving and provide opportunities to cover country and locate active bulls. When temperatures drop and snow accumulates, fresh tracks can help us determine where moose are travelling, feeding and bedding.
Because conditions dictate how we hunt, come prepared for everything. One day may be spent comfortably watching a muskeg flat from a heated and insulated box tower, while the next could involve hiking or snowshoeing cutlines in fresh snow looking for tracks and locating a bull.

Hunters should arrive in reasonable hunting shape and be prepared to hike through snow and uneven northern Alberta terrain.
When snow conditions allow, we may use snowshoes to travel cutlines, follow fresh tracks and reach areas away from vehicle access. Other days may require very little walking and involve spending extended periods watching productive country from one of our heated blinds.
You don't need to be a marathon runner, but the better prepared you are to walk and snowshoe, the more options your guide will have when an opportunity presents itself.
What to ExpectNovember moose hunting is about adapting to the conditions and going where the moose are. A typical hunt may include:
- Heated and insulated box-tower or ground-blind sits overlooking muskeg flats
- Glassing timber edges, cutlines and feeding areas
- Hiking cutlines looking for fresh tracks and sign
- Snowshoeing when snow conditions warrant it
- Travelling by truck, ATV or snowmobile
- Moving between hunting areas as weather and moose movement change
The most important part of packing for November is layering.
Bring enough insulation to stay comfortable during long periods of sitting in cold weather, while also having the ability to shed layers when hiking or snowshoeing. Avoid overdressing before a hike—you want to stay warm without sweating and becoming cold once you stop moving.
Be prepared for a day in a heated box tower or a day snowshoeing cutlines—and everything in between. That's November moose hunting in Alberta.
