Ground Squirrel Hunting
- Gopher Hunts with Alpine Outfitters, Alberta Hunting Guides
& Outfitters
Our high volume gopher hunts are
done in the month of June as the pups are emerging from their
dens and the grass is still short. With thousands of acres and
thousands of gophers you can expect to shoot thousands of rounds
ammo during your hunt. With our shooting wagon you can expect
a comfortable and steady rest as you shoot, most shots are in
the range of 10 feet to 200 yards +. With the high volume shooting
we do, accurate 22's or 17's rimfire’s are the caliber
of choice, There low recoil, cheap ammo, and low noise levels
make them just right. We recommend the 17 Mach 2 as the best
rimfire cartridge, Its low noise flat trajectory and economical
price is exactly right for the Ground Squirrels of Alberta.
Richardsons Ground Squirrels are a burrowing animal that spends
its winters in hibernation and its summers eating the grass
and crops from the farms and ranches. They are about 4 ½
to 8 inches tall and 2 or 3 inches thick, not much bigger than
a can of pop. With a good rifle you will be amazed at your improved
accuracy, after a day of shooting hundreds of rounds at ranges
up to 200 yards.
Hunters stay in a furnished Farmhouse located near the hunting
area with meals and bedding provided. We can also provide rifles
for rent and extra ammo will be on hand. Day’s start with
a good breakfast on the farm then we drive out to the land selected
for hunting that day. Gophers will come up most days around
9 am and stay up until 6pm, lunch will be in the field.
With the large numbers of gophers it is important that you bring
extra magazines for your rifle at least 4 is best. Your guide
will be busy spotting gophers for you as well as reloading magazines.
A DVD on this hunt is available please
