Moose hunt in British Columbia

The area is best known for its strong population of Canadian moose and trophy size typically ranges from 52 - 60 inches, but moose over 60 inches are taken down each year. The area also offers one of British Columbia's largest populations of Mountain Caribou and good populations of Stone Sheep, Mountain Goat, Grizzly, wolf and wolverine. It is recommended to be in reasonably good physical shape, as it can be expected to spend much of the time in the wilderness on foot or on horseback.

The area is a fine combination of beautiful nature and unrivaled hunting opportunities in a region with high game populations and good success rates. The large hunting area consists of countless valleys, mountains, high plateaus, forests as well as lakes, rivers and waterfalls. The hunting area will feel like it is totally untouched.

Horseback hunt

On a horseback hunt you use the horses to get up on some of the mountains in the area where you can spot the game at great distances and you can also cover relatively large areas with the help of the horses. If desired you can also add a mountain caribou to the hunt for a trophy fee. This combination is practiced with great success and nearly 100% success rate. This hunting area offers arguably British Columbia's best combination on moose and mountain caribou hunting.

Boat hunt

On a boat hunt you will travel on the lakes and/or rivers while calling for moose; you may also take short hikes up to vantage points and meadows. The success rate and trophy size on these hunts is the same as our horseback hunts but the hunt will be less physically demanding. Generally these hunts are booked as two hunters for one guide making them a great choice for those looking to hunt with a friend or family member. One hunter per guide can also be arranged for those wishing to hunt alone on not share his time. Because of the density of moose in the lake regions this is a perfect place for dedicated archery hunters or the older guys who may just like to have a relaxing break from the busy world.

Don't make the mistake to think that the Lake hunt is only for "the Old man", Adventurous guides and endless area can add up to one of the most epic hunts for the fit hunter as well. Year after year the Lakes provide Huge bulls and High success for our hunters. If Big Moose is your goal and Horses aren't your thing, inquire for more details about Lake/River hunts.

The Cassiar area is truly unbelievable. It easily compete with the Yukon for quality on average and by classification of being Canadian Moose your chances at a record book moose are more likely here then any other region. Don’t be trigger happy early on in a hunt…. you don’t need to!

How to get there

The journey will begin with a flight to the town Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. From here you will need to rent a car and drive 5-6 hours along the border of Yukon and British Columbia and down to the main camp Boya Lake Provincial Park. Alternatively, you can also order a trasnfer from Whitehorse (can be shared with other hunters). It will be necessary to plan 1-2 days of stay in Whitehorse before and after the hunt, to insure against delays and possibly bad weather that makes transportation to and from the hunting area impossible.

The stay during the hunt takes place in heated cabins in the area, and alternatively tent camps some of the days.

The hunt is traditionally spot and stalk, which has always been a hallmark of this outfitter. There are no hunting towers or tree-stands in the hunting area, only pure wilderness.

This hunting area can also offer fantastic hunting for especially mountain caribou, but also mountain goat, in a remote area with good and healthy populations, which can also deliver some strong trophies.

Weather-wise, you must expect everything from high sun to snow and frost. An exciting area that for a number of years has fulfilled several hunters' "boy dreams".

Hunting period

September - October

The hunt in September-October will primarily be after moose, but it is possible to combine with some of the other huntable species in the area. In addition to moose, it will be possible to combine the hunt with mountain caribou, mountain goat, black bear and wolf for an extra trophy fee if the trophy is taken.

During your entire stay and hunt, you will be greeted with incredible hospitality, unique nature experiences and excellent hunting!
