About Primitive Outfitting

 

 
  Primitive Outfitting is proud to announce that we have expanded into British Columbia, Canada to offer trophy hunts for Grizzly Bear, Black Bear, Moose and Elk.

 
   
   
  We offer quality bow and rifle hunts for these specie. Bowhunting is our speciality and our passion, thus will be offering primarily bow hunts for these animals.  
   
   
  Our area boasts some of the highest densities of grizzly, black bear, and moose in the province. Our BC operation is located in east central BC, straight west of Jasper National Park, between McBride and Prince George. The hunting area is 980 sq. miles of pristine mountains and valleys. Our attention to detail and hard work will make this hunt one you will not forget!  
   
   
   
   
       
  Our Alberta operation will continue to produce some of the best bowhunting for mule deer and wingshooting in North America. Primitive Outfitting has decreased its whitetail operation, but we still offer a very limited openings for trophy whitetail in the famed Edmonton bow zone. Shed antler hunting (whitetail and mule deer) will continue to be a popular early spring ritual, and again spots are limited.  
       
What ever your dream hunt is, Primitive Outfitting is prepared to make it memorable, enjoyable, and successful.
