Successful Wolf Hunt
It was Corbett Creeks 1st year doing wolf hunts. Richard listened to ways making the hunts better going forward. Example were the heaters for blinds. The time I spent in Alberta it was sometimes -25 F. Never got above zero. The bigger buddy heaters Richard got the second day kept the insulated blind comfortably warm for 12 hour sits in -20 F weather. R Corbett creek in my opinion will only get better. Wolf hunting is one of the most elusive of all game animals to harvest. I was successful on a very large Canadian Wolf. Richards family are wonderful people and treated their hunters like family.

Corbett Creek Outiftters
Hardworking outfitter, did his best to put his hunters in the best locations to achieve a successful outcome.
Wolf hunt
Nice accommodations, good food. Outfitter tried very hard. Most equipment was good. There were wolves hitting the bait, but only at night.
Sat in the blind for 55 hours and saw two whitetail does with fawns and two coyotes. The same 13 ravens every day. -26 the first morning, brutal cold the entire hunt. Had propane buddy heaters, sometimes very hard to light, ran out of gas the first afternoon and finally gave up lighting it, took me two hours to light it the last day. Myself and the other hunter had trouble with the heaters nearly every day.
