BC Moose hunt any suggestions
« on: January 24, 2011, 04:42:12 PM »
I finally have enough money saved to go on a moose hunt. Not a lot but about $5000.00. I would like some referals if you guy's/ gal's have any. Thanks very much

Many years ago, we hunted with the father or uncle of the current head guide at One Eye Outfit west of Williams Lake.  I can not vouche for the people, if genetics counts for anything they will be great, but the country is fantastic.  Gentle sloping plain of meadows and pecker poles up into the goat crags.  More sheds around than any place except a feeding station.

Prince George area is really good, and almost anywhere north of that you can find some monster bulls.
I'll get back to you on referrals.

A friend of a friend had a horror story of an outfitter not allowing them to bring out their meat. Claimed it was to feed their bears. 3 guys on a turbo otter and no meat. I will try to get the name.

So you are set on a moose hunt in BC guided instead of say a DIY in AK?
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

High Country: keep us posted, thats terrible. Who the hell feeds bears anyways.
Baiting bears in BC is highly illegal too. If in fact thats what they wanted to do with the meat?!

I'm not opposed to DIY in Ak, It's just a matter of finding others to go along. Non of my slacker friends want to do it. Either they don't have the money or they think it would be to hard.

You might try checking with Corkscrew Creek Adventures in BC. He has very limited tags and lots of moose. Paul also has great lynx at 1/2 the price of everyone else.

Moose hunts are one of the hunts that are either great or very bad. Make sure you talk to a TON of references! Not a few but a ton! There is a lot of hunters that pay big $ and don't even see a moose on there hunt. I have a buddy that has been in those shoes. More then once. Be very careful in your selection.

carpsniperg2 is right. But that goes with hunting in general, just a kicker when your paying for a guide.
Ask some more informed people then me at www.huntingbc.ca

moose hunting is one of the lowest % success hunts for outfitters. Another thing to ask is there harvest %, after talking with the references you will know if they are being honest with there numbers.

I've got a good reference for you that I can persoally vouch for for Canadian Moose in Alberta.  Gonna be a touch higher than your $5,000, but his success rate is second to none and I've seen it first hand.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.
