You book a hunt, not a kill.
A rutting bull may come to the call on the first morning or on the last evening, or stay in the timber all week. We give you ten days, a guide who knows where the bulls travel and a quiet lake. The rest is hunting.
Thirteen days, ten of them on the water.
- Day 0
Fly to Vancouver, connect to Smithers. We pick you up. Night in town.
- Day 1
Licences, rifle and gear check. Floatplane into camp. Zero rifles, first evening call from the shore.
- Days 2 to 11
Out by boat before light, calling and glassing meadows and shorelines. Midday in camp, out again until dark.
- Day 12
Fly out to Smithers. Antlers, cape and meat are prepared and documented.

Smithers to Vancouver and home. Keep a buffer night for weather.

Be ready for what shows up.
You can carry additional species licences on any hunt, as far as seasons and our quota allow. In fall that usually means black bear and wolf. If the chance comes, you are allowed to take it. We tell you with your proposal which tags make sense for your dates.
The Canada moose
The largest deer on earth, and here it lives the way it always has: in willow flats, beaver meadows and along quiet shorelines. A mature bull stands taller than a horse at the shoulder and carries palmated antlers that he sheds every winter.
For most of the year bulls are hard to find. In the rut that changes. They travel, answer a cow call and come looking. We take few bulls, and only mature ones.
Moose profile: habitat, behaviour, the rutMoose country
Straight answers.
How fit do I need to be?
Fitter is always better, but this is not a mountain hunt. Expect boat rides, short stalks on wet ground and long, cold sits.
Can two of us hunt together?
Yes. The standard hunt is two hunters with one guide. One guide per hunter is possible on request.
What happens to the meat?
Nothing is wasted. The meat is taken out and used. Your proposal says what you can take home.
Can I combine moose with goat?
Yes. The combination runs twelve hunting days, one guide per hunter, goat first and then down to the lakes.
