My brother Kurt, and I had looked forward to our Moose Hunt ever since the day we booked the hunt with Wild Kakwa Outfitters. We had both been to Canada before on Whitetail, and Black Bear hunts, but this was the first time we were to be hunting Moose. We were unsure of what to…
My moose hunt with Wild Kakwa Outfitters was the adventure of a lifetime. Rick, Rita and the guides were excellent hosts, great guides, and simply fun people to be around. The accommodations were excellent. Day 1: We woke to 2″ of fresh snow, had a great breakfast prepared by Rita, and headed out to camp.…
My Alberta adventure was truly awesome. Ricky, my guide took me through some beautiful country. We saw grizzly, elk, fox, coyote, Pine Martin, mule deer, black bear and huge whitetail bucks. This week of moose hunting started off seeing a cow and calf moose. Day 3 I had a shooter bull about 42 inches at…
This was my first trip out of the United States to hunt. My uncle and cousin had been talking about hunting moose for quite some time. After two years of planning and 35 hours of driving we finally rolled into Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada on September 27th at Rick and Rita’s for a hunt on…
This was a great hunt because it happened just like it was suppose to. Ricky was calling and we heard crashing and a soft bull grunt. After about 10 minutes a bull moose came out in front of us at about 100 yards. At first I was not sure I wanted him because I was…
To express the many dynamics of emotions a person feels when traveling thirty-six hours, into another country, to hunt an animal they have only seen in a few publications, is undaunting. My cousin hunted with the owner Rick Houweling, and was blessed with taking a beautiful fifty-inch moose on the first morning of the hunt.…
This was not only my first moose hunt, but also my first hunting experience in Canada. And a wonderful experience it was! Three of my fellow hunters had booked with Wild Kakwa Outfitters before and thus returned with four new hunters (including myself) for a moose hunt with Rick and Rita Houweling in early October. Our…
“It’s Never Over Til It’s Over” This was my 4th hunt with Wild Kakwa Outfitters, and proved to be one of the most challenging of all. I had 3 tags (Moose, Elk, and Mule Deer). Early in the hunt I passed on 3 small bull moose, and on 2 small mule deer, as I had…
This was my first moose hunt and let me tell you it was very enjoyable. I know everybody wants to hear the kill stories, but I’m going to tell you the fun that was had in this camp was second to none. I thought, wow I was lucky to pick a week with so many…
I had an awesome moose hunt with Wild Kakwa Outfitters. I will never forget the fun I had with Rick, Rita, Mel and Ricky, Rick & Rita Houweling’s son. Earlier in the week, my hunting partner, Ed, and I were guided by Mel (aka-the guide who will walk your tail off) into the “Valley of…
