One of the most remarkable features of the Luxor Creek outfitting area
is its complete isolation and wilderness flavor; yet we are only a
three-hour drive from Calgary. From either of our two base camp
lodges, our clients are only a 15-minute hike or horseback ride into
some of the most spectacular scenery to be seen in the Canadian Rockies,
and some of the richest big game habitat remaining to be found in North
America. This is Trophy Hunting at its finest!

Every year, Luxor Creek Out- fitters provides opportunities to hunt a wide variety of the species found in British Columbia. This begins with black bear and grizzly hunts in the spring. During the fall we offer hunts for elk, Shiras moose, big- horn sheep, mule deer, whitetail deer, mountain goats, black bear and wolves. Hunting continues into the late fall and winter with cougar, lynx, and bobcat. Our hunting philosophy is to minimize hunting pressure, while maximizing hunter experience. You will see big game at Luxor Creek, not other hunters.
Our best trophy hunting is in the extreme backcountry, and available
only to our most physically fit hunters. It is not uncommon for

the highest alpine
ridges (where the finest trophy animals are usually found), range
from approximately 4,000 to 8,000 feet. The secret to comfort
here is to layer clothes, and the new synthetics combined with wool
are hard to beat. Other day hunts are available from the base camps into highly productive areas where "glassing / stalking" hunts often yield high numbers of elk, deer, and goats. We have two main base camps; Kindersley Creek and Lower Quinn Creek. Both lodges have fully-equipped kitchens, generous sleeping quarters, and hot showers. Private rooms are available upon request. |

A typical day will begin before dawn with coffee, tea, juice, and
a light breakfast. Sack lunches will be provided, with input
on quantities and special requests graciously taken. You and
your guide (one hunter and one guide, unless you and a buddy want
to team with one guide) will leave for your hunting area, which
can change daily based upon sign and guide / hunter preference.
As a note, we do not allow hunting from vehicles. The trucks
and quads are only used to transport you into your pre-selected
hunting area, and to bring back your game. You will hunt all day and usually come back to camp just before or just after dark. Dinner is usually served around 7:30-8:30pm, leaving sufficient time for those hunters who so desire to make the 30-minute drive to Radium Hot Springs from our Kindersley Creek Base Camp. All of our remote and spike camps have a cold plunge near camp that is not as popular as the relaxing hot springs, but just as refreshing. All meals are provided, and you will love the food.
