hunting footwear and camp shoes (runners).hunting weapon (gun/bow/muzzleloader/cross-bow).You should bring layers of clothes, rain gear, good boots, warm gloves, a head cover and goggles to protect your eyes from dust & debris for ATV rides. The weather in Alberta is very unpredictable at this time of year you may experience some freezing temperatures or snowfall, or it can get as warm as 80° F. You will be provided a leak-proof type container to transport your hide(s) home with you in a frozen condition.ĭaylight in Northern Alberta in the month of May is about 18 hours. After photos, your bear will be skinned with care and placed in one of our freezers. Quality photos will be taken of your trophy for your lasting memories. If you choose to hunt for a second bear you can purchase the tag and the related extra guide services for $1,500.00USD plus tax to be paid in cash at camp or prior to your arrival, most hunters prefer to harvest two bears after seeing a large target bear to harvest after hunting for a few days in our stands. The price of your hunt includes one bear. Your camera is a must! Alberta has a two bear limit, so on this hunt you can harvest two bears if you choose to. This will be a truly memorable experience. There is decent cellphone coverage in our area, so you may bring your cell phone. A mobile phone is available in camp should any emergencies arise. We like to keep our camp small and personalized to provide you with the attention and service you need to have a truly great hunting experience. The camp is powered by a generator which is highly valuable for recharging those video camera batteries. Excellent home-cooked meals and snacks are provided, as well as shower facilities with hot water! Our camp consists of canvas wall tents, cots with thick foam, and wood stoves for heat. Our remote camp provides a true wilderness experience deep in the heart of Alberta’s prime black bear habitat. This includes transport to and from the airport, food and beverage, wall tent housing, shower & outhouse facilities, and trophy care (caping and skinning).
For May 2024, we are running the season as follows: For some herbivores like sheep that graze, when they face down their eyeballs roll up: the horizontal bar shaped pupil remains parallel to the horizon.Our hunts run in a 6-day duration. They also think horizontal eyes present a horizontally panoramic view for detecting predators approaching from the ground. For horizontal shaped pupils, the researchers concluded this shape improves image quality for horizontal contours in front and behind, helping guide rapid locomotion in a forward direction despite lateral eye placement. Basically, vertically shaped pupils provide more effective means for estimating distances along the ground – important for ambush predators who can’t use motion parallex as a depth cue, lest they give away their position to their prey. The study concludes vertical pupils facilitate ‘stereopsis’ and aid the use of defocus blur for estimating distances of horizontal contours along the ground. Their new research shows there is a strong relationship between activity time and foraging mode, and pupil shape – this suggests there are some functional advantages of certain species having these shapes in their specific ecological niche. controlling retinal illumination in different light environments) failed to explain why pupil slits are elongated vertically in some species and horizontally in others.
But why? In 2015, researchers decided old theories about the function of shape (e.g. There is a striking correlation between terrestrial animals’ pupil shapes and their ecological niche: animals with horizontal pupils are much more likely to be prey animals, and those with vertical pupils predators (think goat eye vs cat eye).
