I have a outfitter who is a friend up there but he hunts out of his main lodge so sometimes there is alot of driving to places.. The food is excellent however.. His successrate is grreat. The three times I have been there our group went alomost 100% only because some guys passed up animals.. He charges less then most.. If you are looking for that kind of hunt let me know. If you are looking for more backcountry I have no info.

Yes but even a Shiras Moose is going to be a good hunt and a guy would be able to bring all of it home as compared to having to send it as freight on a plane from AK.

Post by: lhrbull on March 10, 2014, 06:35:07 PM: moose in BC are considered Canadain moose by Boone and Crocket and only the southern part of BC is considered Shiras moose by SCI usally the farther north you go the larger the racks are but all moose have a large body

I believe once you get past 100 Mile house/ Williams lake area the classification changes.
I hunted outside of Prince George and they said they were Canadian moose.

Post by: LARK on March 15, 2014, 05:18:10 PM: I've hunted northern BC multiple times for everything from grizzly to caribou and moose. Most of BC is Canadian moose as defined by B&C. By the time you travel, licenses, tags, fees, tips and Canadian sales taxes, a northern BC moose hunt with a quality outfitter that has a quality concession, you will drop $10,000.
