About the Post-Rut Rifle Moose Hunt
If you’re up for a challenge and want a different kind of moose hunting experience, our Alberta Post-Rut Rifle Moose Hunt offers an incredible adventure. While the bulls are no longer actively rutting, they’re still on the move, recovering from the breeding season and preparing for winter. This time of year requires a spot-and-stalk approach, glassing feeding areas and timber edges for lone bulls laying low. The hunting is quieter, more tactical, and often more rewarding for those who enjoy tracking and patient glassing.
Alberta’s backcountry transforms in November, with cooler temperatures and the first snowfalls offering excellent tracking conditions. Our guides focus on isolated pockets where post-rut bulls go to rest and refuel, using their deep knowledge of moose behavior to give you the best possible shot. While the action may not be as vocal or fast-paced as the rut, the bulls are still big, and the sense of accomplishment when you tag a post-rut giant is second to none.

Absolutely. Post-rut bulls are still massive, often weighing over 1,200 pounds with impressive antlers. They may not be as active or aggressive, but they’re just as large—and sometimes easier to approach due to their fatigue and need to recover.

Our guides focus on known bedding zones and travel corridors where bulls retreat after the rut. It’s a more methodical and stealth-based hunt, perfect for experienced rifle hunters.
