About this Episode
In this episode, Dan and Riley sit down with Darcy Ledrew, owner and head guide of Prairie North Outfitters, to recap an unforgettable bear hunt in the wilds of northern Alberta.
This one’s special—Riley tagged his first-ever archery black bear, and Dan punched both of his tags, including a true Alberta giant. But this conversation goes beyond the hunt. We dive into Darcy’s story: how he went from passionate hunter to full-time outfitter, what it takes to guide in the remote north, and the challenges and rewards of chasing both black bears and world-class Alberta whitetails.
We talk archery setups, baiting strategies, the mental side of hunting, and what keeps Darcy fired up season after season.
Whether you're dreaming of a Canadian bear hunt or just love hearing from people who live this lifestyle full-time, this episode brings the heat.
**Plus, how YOU can come hunt with Elkshape for Alberta Spring Bear in 2026. You don't want to miss this.
