Ongaro Outdoor Outfitters has been making hunters happy since 1994. An opportunity to pass on trophy class whitetail hunts has been in the making for several years. We can now offer trophy class whitetail and mule deer hunts in some of the most remote regions of the province. The area we have chosen is far from our waterfowl operation - far away from the pressured farmland deer. The wilderness setting allows these deer to become old enough to lose their teeth and still die of old age - few regions like this still exist in North America today.

Our revolutionary hunting system puts you where the big deer are. We won't rely on permanent towers and old patterns. The nature of this hunt requires long sits - as any trophy hunt does. Comfort is obviously a must. When the shot presents itself on that trophy buck you have been waiting for, our fool proof shooting system will allow you to connect. It is our responsibility to not only present you with quality opportunities on trophy game, but also to create a situation whereby you can take advantage of that opportunity. We don't like hearing stories about the one that was missed so we minimize any opportunity for error. Swivel seats and shooting rails are vital. Although our heated tower blinds will keep you warm during our rut hunts, we also use ladder stands, treestands, and ground blinds where warranted.

Claudio Ongaro and his team of dedicated guides have put several trophy class whitetails and mule deer on the wall. Persistence and attention to detail is what puts good deer down!! Our hunts are conducted on each end of the peak of the rut. Peak estrus in Alberta occurs in mid November. This is when the majority of the does come into heat. Four to five days on either side of this period produces the best deer. Our 6-9 day hunts occur immediately before and after this period. Why six to nine days? We feel that the longer you hunt the more deer you will sample and the more likely you will be to take home a true trophy. If you can't stay for nine days we will accommodate a traditional six day hunt for you.

We have taken the headache out of planning your trip with a Canadian outfitter. You will receive formal correspondence and open communication via our 24 hour 1-800 number and Internet connection. All licensing and paper work will be taken care of for you so you can focus on enjoying your hunt. You need not rent or pay for ground transfer vehicles - we will pick you up at the airport or hotel and drop you off at the end of your hunt. We maintain the highest standard of equipment to ensure every possible opportunity to increase your success. To contend with the various hunting situations that arise throughout the season, we have heavily invested in high quality and large quantities of hunting gear and equipment. Guides, spotters, trucks, ATV's, tower blinds, treestands, ladder stands and ground blinds are but a few of the essentials we provide.

The process also involves efforts behind the scenes: Linda fields all calls & inquiries during November when its tough to get a hold of me - I'm in the field. She takes care of any last minute surprises that may crop up and ensures that regular daily operations at the deer camp remain in fluid motion.

At Ongaro Outdoors we can offer you vast combined hunting knowledge, hard work ethic, a promise of commitment to you & the sport of deer hunting, and both personal & professional integrity. The hunting resource speaks for itself.

I hope you can make it to Alberta on your next trophy deer hunt!!
