Chasing Elk in Alberta: Amanda Lynn, Erika & James Take the Adventure to New Heights
Every year, Amanda Lynn heads west for her annual Alberta elk hunt, a tradition built on grit, passion, and respect for the wildlife she pursues. But this season, the adventure reached a whole new level.
This time, Amanda Lynn teamed up with Erika and James, creating a trio ready to push deep into the rugged landscapes and chase the wild in its purest form. What followed was a journey of endurance, determination, friendship—and ultimately, an unforgettable elk harvest.
A Hunt Earned the Hard Way
With packs strapped tight and the Alberta mountains calling, the team set out on foot, covering more than 60 kilometers over the course of the hunt.
That meant:
-
Long days on steep ravines
-
Quiet stalks through dense forest
-
Hours of glassing windswept valleys
-
Navigating heavy timber and hidden draws
If there’s one constant on the elk trail, it’s this: nothing worthwhile comes easy.
And this hunt was no exception.
Pushing Past the Limits
Despite brutal terrain and unpredictable weather, the three hunters kept spirits high—sharing laughs, stories, and plenty of determination. That’s the magic of hunting with the right team: when one person gets tired, the others lift them up.
The Harvest Comes After the Journey
After days of pursuing elk across the backcountry, Amanda Lynn eventually returned home to Ontario—but the hunt wasn’t over yet.
That’s when Erika finally got her moment.
With the knowledge, confidence, and experience gained from those grueling days in the mountains, Erika stayed in Alberta a little longer—and harvested her elk shortly after Amanda Lynn’s flight home.
It was a hard-earned, well-deserved success, and a testament to the teamwork and determination that defined the entire trip.
