Hunter Testimonials
I have dedicated
these past years to guiding and outfitting moose, black bear and
mule deer hunts. My goal is to provide my guests with a quality
big game hunt and an "unforgettable wilderness adventure".
Our proof of success is the number of hunters that return to hunt
with us each season. Below are some testimonials that will give
you more insight as to what hunting with us is all about.

I booked and went on a archery Moose hunt with (an Alberta
Outfitter) "Louis Shilka at Alberta Wilderness
Adventures in Worsley, Alberta". The hunt was
absolutely fantastic; it was everything that I ever imagined
a guided hunt would be. And let me say right now that
I did not get a moose; a moose would have been the cherry
on top. But not getting a moose was not because the (Outfitter)
"Louis Shilka" or the Guide "Rick
Kamenicki" didn't do everything in their power
to try make it happen.
The camp was wonderful.
(The Outfitter asked) "Louis Shilka"
asks that the hunters bring camp slippers to wear in
the eating cabin
well the eating cabin was
so nice I would have taken off my boots when I went
in to eat anyway. The food was so good, even hunting
day light to dark every day, I gained 5 pounds. "Bev",
the camp cook was absolutely a fantastic cook. The meals
were hot, delicious ready when you woke up and waiting
on the hunters at the end of the day The sleeping cabins
were simple and exactly what was needed
.comfortable
& warm after a long day of hunting.
I can't say enough about
(the Outfitter and Guide) "Louis and Rick".
Neither told me how to hunt. We talked about hunting
and discussed tactics. They explained how and why we
would hunt a particular way on a given day and they
answered questions. I feel like I learned a lot about
moose hunting specifically and hunting in general. We
tried stand hunting, spot and stalk and calling. I saw
32 moose, 3 of which were bulls and got within 115 yards
of one bull - just out of range for me with my bow.
I also saw bears that I could have taken, whitetails
and mule deer.
When I came home from
my hunt I have told everyone that will listen to me
what a wonderful hunt that I had. I describe it as a
hot fudge sundae with whipped cream and nuts
the
only thing that was missing was the cherry on top. And
it was fantastic even without the cherry.
I also feel like I made
three new wonderful friends. "Louis, Rick and
Bev have an open invitation that if they are ever near
my home they can call and stop by anytime
..there
will always be room for them here."
I am already planning
a trip back "to hunt with Louis, Rick and Bev
for the fall of 2009". This time I am planning
on taking some of my friends so they can enjoy this
wonderful experience...
"If you ever
have an outfitter just starting out that needs some
guidance on how to treat their clients or run a hunting
camp, I would highly recommend that you have them visit
(maybe even hunt a week) with Louis Shilka, Rick Kamenicki
and Bev. They would be better for the experience".

After checking
out a few outfitters I decided on booking a black bear,
spot and stalk, hunt with Louis Shilka of Alberta Wilderness
Adventures in Worsley, Alberta Canada. The hunt was for
myself and 2 of my hunting partners in CT.
We wanted this hunt to
be a memorable adventure so we took extra time for travel
before and after the hunt.
We arrived at his camp
site late afternoon and were surprised to see how clean
his camp area was, it looked more like a resort then
a hunting camp. Other bear camps we have been in were
smelly and run down. Louis tries to keep the number
of hunters at a minimum so we can get a lot of one on
one with the guides. There were 5 hunters in camp the
week we were there and we received a lot of personal
attention. The weather was a bit warmer then we all
expected and it made finding these bears a lot more
difficult but they never gave up the pursuit of locating
some bears for us. I could talk forever on the great
time we had during the hunting and after the hunt sitting
around the campfire telling everyone our past hunting
adventures but the short of it is, we all had a fabulous
time.
I managed to take a nice
black that charged me twice, at close range, before
I managed to put him down. My friend, Al took 2 blacks
and although Rick didn't get the chance to get his trophy
he did have a close encounter with a Grizzly bear that
will be memorable for him the rest of his life.
I would not hesitate
to book another hunt with this outfitter and if you
have any questions feel free to contact me.

Louis,
No more horseshoes for me lately! Thanks for the extra
laughs at camp that goes along way with the memories of
hunting trips.
Everything went smoothly on the return trip. We replayed
the trip over and over on the way home, lots of good stories.
I cannot imagine anyone could have a complaint with the
overall quality of your operation. The accommodations,
food and guides were excellent. The trophy quality of
the bear is unbelievable!!! I think the last day of the
hunt we got a better idea of what is possible for quantity
of bear sightings. It is obvious you have been doing this
for a while and I am glad we lucked in to getting you
for our hunt. You are welcome to use any of my pictures
for anything that might help. That is a tremendous bear
and will be life-size in my trophy room one day. ***Please
tell the guides hello for me***
Thanks for everything!!!

Dear Louis
& Bev
Thank you for an outstanding
hunt, it was truly first class and has given us many
memories we will long cherish, along with making great
new friends.
We enjoyed the time spent together and the opportunity
to learn more about you and your great operation. Your
knowledge of game animals and their habitats and the
country you hunt were very impressive. It became apparent,
though, that much of your success is the result of plain
hard work and commitment from you and your guides to
give your clients the best quality hunt.
I can honestly say that I know very few outfitters that
take care of the details like you do, and as you know
those details can mean the difference between a successful
hunt and a walk in the woods.
So from my wife and me, thanks again to you and the
Alberta Wilderness Adventure staff for all you did to
make our first Canadian hunt a truly memorable one.

Hello Louis, Rick, Sean,
and Bev,
I would like to put out a few words to the Sportsmen
that haven't had the great opportunity to experience
some of the finest hunting and friendship that an outfitting
camp can provide with, Louis Shilka owner of Alberta
Wilderness Adventures. I have hunted Moose three years
in a row with two other hunters each year and found
out that the guides, Rick and Sean, won't let you go
home without your trophy Moose, Meat Bull, or Mule Deer
if that's your choice.
My first year, Rick says "What are you looking
for"? " A nice Moose rack", I answered.
So, this year, he asked and I told him my wife said
I have enough big racks. So he dialed in his Birch Bark
caller and brought in my first 2 point Bull.
Our hunts have been 100%, and I have hunting friends
that have been to Louis's camp Moose and Mule Deer hunting
on different hunt dates and all got their game. They
said the camp, food, and guides were the best they have
seen in their hunting days. I think of my hunting trips
to Louis's camp every day, and hoping that the Good
Lord willing, I can be there again and enjoy Bev's cooking
and the friendly hand shaking over a nice Bull Moose.

Louis,
Last September was our
first trip to hunt with Louis Shilka. We were a group
of four hunters with three moose and bear combo hunts
and a moose and mule deer combo hunt. On our trip we
killed 3 moose, 4 black bear and 1 mule deer. Everyone
had at least one opportunity on moose.
The guides Rick and Sean where excellent and the food
was very good along with the atmosphere in the lodge.
Breakfast and dinner was just great also. The lodge
is just beautiful and the grounds around the place are
beautiful.
This hunt was a very
pleasant experience and I am looking at booking a 2009
Bear hunt.
Thank you again for a great time.

Hi, Bev,
Louis and Rick,
I would like to thank you once more for the week spent
with you, and for everything you did for me - which was
more than I expected. I was very lucky to meet you, and
I will remember that hunting for the rest of my life.
If I ever again go hunting in Alberta - and I'm planning
to - I will definitely come to you again.
Hunting in Canada was my dream, and when I finally decided
to do it - I had no one who would recommend a good outfitter.
I searched the internet and was extremely lucky to find
you. I was very impressed by everything I saw: Bev's cooking
and ability to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome;
Louis, your tours and knowledge of the woods and Rick's
knowledge of hunting as well. I appreciate the evening
conversations when you shared your knowledge with me -
I know I've learned a lot from you. I also enjoyed being
in the woods on my own, it allows me to feel the two bears
I got were truly mine. I regret the week passed so quickly,
and on the plane on my way back I was already planning
to go back. I was satisfied with everything: the hunting,
the result, and most of all - with meeting such great
people. If someone ever asks me where to hunt in Alberta,
I will recommend you right away as friendly, warm, knowledgeable
and professional people. Your camp is great, Bev is a
wonderful woman and cook, and you are all good people
to be around. And the wildlife was simply amazing, when
I saw those mule deer I thought I was dreaming. I never
saw such deer in a forest - only on photographs!
Once again, thank you for everything, and I hope to see
you again in the future.
