DESCRIPTION:

This outfitter has been in the industry for over 15 years. Their area is approx. 3300 sq. miles and is considered to be one of the best hunting areas in all of Canada. With little resident hunting pressure to 95% of the outfitter concession, it remains country that is remote and untouched, with no riverboat access as well. This makes for a great experience for clients, and everything has to be flown in via floatplane or long horse pack trains doing the off-season and during hunts (when applicable). There are approximately 70 Lakes (lots of which have great fishing), 1 River, which offers floatplane access, and they have established camps throughout their entire area.

All Moose/Caribou hunts are done with horses. The outfitter has a lot of areas and camps. They have told us that they will always put clients in an area where both species are available to hunt. Some spots have better Moose than caribou and moving locations mid-hunt is normal. Guides will use their discretion when it’s time to move to a new area, so trust them. Combo hunts can usually result in shooting the first mature bull, but you never know if a moose or caribou will be first so always be prepared to shoot. Every year they take animals while riding on horses. Caribou and Moose will often walk right up to check out what’s going on. Typically you will get high and glass up your animal then make a play for it. Caribou generally like the open country and willow flats and moose will be on the fringe of meadows meeting the willows. Be ready at all times as things happen quickly!

This area is very well known for its exceptional Canadian Moose (both quality and numbers), and also arguably one of BC’s great Mountain Caribou locations. They also have some very good Stone Sheep hunting, and a healthy Rocky Mountain Goat population. Wolves and Wolverines are in the area,and the occasional Black Bear seems to show up as well. The elevations of the lakes and rivers range from 2,000 – 5000 feet, and most of the mountains in the area are rough and steep, with the highest peaks reaching up to between 7,000 & 9,000 ft.

MOOSE: The Canadian Moose that a hunter should expect to be hunting in this area average 50”-plus, with wide palms and good brow tines. Record class animals are taken consistently every year, with bulls reaching up to as wide as 72”. (Remember these are CANADIAN MOOSE!). The Moose hunting is above average in late August & early September, and still the best rut hunting/calling is in mid to late September and early October. Moose make a great combination with Goat or Caribou in September. Moose hunts can be taken on the lakes and rivers with boats or by horseback into the harder to access areas. The season opens in mid to late August. There is NO quota on Bull Moose and there is NO size restriction. The outfitter asks that hunters book this hunt with only a mature bull in the agenda. All horseback Moose hunters should be packing a Tag for Caribou during September and October!

MOUNTAIN CARIBOU: The caribou population is one of the better locations in BC. The largest bull the outfitter knows of scored 426 B&C net. In August, the Caribou are scattered and found higher on the ridges. By mid to late-September, the animals have grouped up and are found at lower elevations on the plateaus. In order for a caribou to be legal in this area, it must have 6 top points or 5 top points and 1 back (rear) point. Season opens in mid August.

Upon arriving at their meeting location, clients are met by their team and prepped for departure into their concession via float plane or vehicle. Modest accommodations and great food will be provided at their base camp throughout your stay. They have an amazing team of guides, wranglers and other supportive staff that returns each year. Clients say that their work ethic and commitment to providing a standup service is evident in everything they do.
