BRITISH COLUMBIA · A SNEAK PEEK
Mountain hunts in British Columbia’s high country.
From Stone sheep in the far north to elk, Shiras moose and cats in the Kootenays, we have three BC options. Depending on the outfit and the species, you’ll hunt on horseback, on foot, from a boat or behind hounds, from a lodge, a cabin or a spike camp.

3 LODGE OPTIONS
Three ways to hunt BC
We work with more than one outfitter here. Each offers something different, and we’ll help you choose the right fit for your hunt, budget and group.
Stone sheep and big game in the far north
The hunting. The Prophet and Muskwa drainages are some of the best Stone sheep country in the world and have produced top record-book rams. Elk hunts run through the bugle, and only 6×6 or better bulls are taken. Moose, mountain goat, black bear, mule deer, wolf, wolverine, cougar and lynx are on the same ground.
How you hunt. The season runs August 1 through October 31 with 10 full hunting days per trip, and longer custom trips for multiple species. All hunts are one on one, mostly on horseback, with some by boat or backpacking when it improves your odds.
Where you stay. The main camp is a 10,000-square-foot wilderness lodge with a full spa on the edge of the Rockies. Out in the mountains, a head camp has a cook, wranglers and warm log cabins with wood stoves, plus 15 satellite camps with cabins or tents and satellite phones.
Elk, moose and goats in a protected wilderness
The country. 220,000 exclusive acres inside a wilderness conservancy in southeast BC, protected since 1974 and never developed. With no motor vehicles allowed, elk, moose, mule deer, black bear and goat numbers are far stronger than in more accessible areas.
Elk & moose. Ride into remote basins and call rutting bulls into close range, bow or rifle. The area holds some of the biggest Shiras moose in North America, with the peak rut from late September to mid-October and high success.
Mountain goats. A true alpine hunt among cliffs, basins and glaciers, with mature billies averaging about 9-inch horns. Black bear and wolf can be added when the season is open.
Where you stay. Choose your level of wilderness: spike camps, remote cabins, horse-assisted access or lodge-based comfort. Meals, lodging, guiding, field care, trophy prep and airport transfers are included.
A family-run outfit with a deep species list
The hunting. Run by two brothers and their families since 2014. Elk hunts are full backcountry horseback trips, and an abundant Shiras moose population plus a very experienced moose guide make for high success on mature bulls. Mule deer, whitetail, black bear and wolf are also available.
Cat hunts. Winter cougar, bobcat and lynx hunts follow a top houndswoman and some of the best-trained hounds around. Mornings are spent checking for tracks by truck, side-by-side or snowmobile, then it’s on foot through deep snow and steep country.
Where you stay. The main lodge is reachable by vehicle. Three main horseback camps, about a three-hour ride in, have log cabins, wood fireplaces and hot showers. Guiding, meals, lodging, riding and pack horses and field care are all included.
