MOOSE HUNTS
MOOSE Hunts
Our moose are the true Western Canadian Moose. They range from spike fork to monster 50 in + bulls. Our area is situated high on the interior plateau of central British Columbia and is composed of huge stands of Jack pine mixed with thick stands of heavily dense Spruce bogs. This is where the moose thrive. Our bulls will have some of that Alaska genetics still in them, and if you are fortunate enough to harvest one in the 50 inch range do not be surprised when the taxidermist has to order the Alaska moose mold to fit it!
Our primary moose hunt is done by horseback. We have over the years bred some of the best horse stock for hunting you will ever come across.
Our Moose camps vary from a camp you can drive into by 4 x 4, where you will hunt on foot, horseback or by vehicle.
Our camps that may be a 4 hour horse ride into, where you will be in a very remote area. We also have camps that you have to get into by team and wagon.
Then there is the main camp. This is where you will have the luxury of warm camp style trailer rooms, to log cabins. Fully equipped lodge and dinning area, wash house complete with heated shower and toilet facilities. Wireless internet and satellite TV. We hunt by 4×4 and walking into remote swamps, drainages and rutting areas.
We offer a wide variety of hunt packages to suit what ever your hunting abilities may be. Pretty much something for everyone. Our opportunity rate is 90%, 9 out of 10 of our hunters will be put into a good situation to harvest a moose. Call us to discuss your hunting options.
GEAR LIST
EARLY FALL
Fall hunts are divided into two categories, the first being the wilderness hunts and the second, are hunts done out of the ranch or lodge. All mountain caribou and trophy moose hunts are wilderness hunts. The weather can be a mixture of warm sunny fall days with mornings being below 32 degrees and very brisk. Snow is very possible even in the beginning of September. Wilderness hunts are all done by horseback and the amount of gear is limited for the most part. We ask that hunters do not over pack. Again, wool pants and jackets are the best clothing for hunting moose and expensive ineffective noisy clothing is not recommended if you want to be successful. Waterproof leather boots and insulated rubber boots and camp shoes such as runners will be all you need. Long underwear, socks and sweaters. Quiet rain pants and jacket. Oilskin works very well and a western hat that helps shed water and a ball cap.

The biggest mistake that hunter make when they decide to hunt for Big Game is in their choice of clothing. You can walk into most any hunting store and find a wide variety of hunting apparel, most of it is not worth much of anything when it comes to practicality. It all looks good , and they all claim their product to be the best in water proof and are quiet, hell some of them even claim to cover or hide you own scent. Marketing is and has been very imaginative as far as hunting clothing goes, but most of the stuff just plain will not work.
I have been hunting since I was nine years old, and you know I wore wool pants and coat then and still today I swear by wool pants and coat to be the best bar none. I wear Columbia made wool pants, you can get them for under $100 bucks. Yes, they will get wet, but the water drains off them fast, and you will be warm no matter what, but most important that Monster Bull Moose or Elk will not hear you coming, and this is what makes a successful hunt.
Columbia makes a very good wool coat as well. You do not need to spend more than a couple of hundred bucks for both. If you do I guarantee you will look good, but I never seen any Mule deer buck that knew the difference. And again I would rather spend my money going hunting and filling the freezer, than looking good sitting at home with bare walls and empty freezers. Camo is another trend, it may be okay if you are bow hunting, but for rifle hunters my blue Makinaw wool coat works plenty fine from over 100 yards away. Last I knew it was better to stalk quietly, down wind and taking your time with a well placed shot, than looking good in fancy high priced clothing.
Rocky still makes one of the best inexpensive hunting boots on the market today and they are very affordable no matter what kind of boot you need. I have Rocky boots for spring , fall and even my dead of winter hunts.
Be aware of trendy gear that claims to do the unbelievable, practical inexpensive gear will do the job.
LATE FALL
All late season hunts are done out of our ranch, lodge or the black water cabin, and are warm and comfortable. 4×4 Suburbans and walking are the method of hunting. This time of year can be extremely cold with temperatures dropping to 0 degrees or colder. However, temperatures around the freezing mark are the usual, but being prepared for the worst can be the difference between having a good or bad hunt.
Heavy wool pants and coat will be the best for good quiet and warmth on the moose and deer hunts, snow pack boots and warm wool gloves and head gear are also a must. A good quality back pack will help carry your daily gear and if warm weather prevails will allow you to shed some layers so not to get to warm.
This is one of the prettiest times of the year so being prepared will definitely ensure you enjoy your hunt.
