Spring Hunting Newsletter

Overview

Since 1948 we have hunted Goat, Elk, Moose, Mule Deer, and Bears in the East Kootenay region of British Columbia. As 3rd generation outfitters, we have witnessed countless hunters experience the hunt of a lifetime, many of which continue coming back time and time again. We feel very thankful to our faithful clients, guides and crew and are feeling very optimistic on what future years will bring.

SPRINGTIME- Bring on the 2022 Bear Hunts!

After a long and cold winter, the snow is finally beginning to melt and the green grass is starting to show. Bears will soon be coming out of hibernation and wandering throughout the valleys.
It is this time of year that we start fixing up our riding saddles and packing saddles, checking horses for ticks, buying young horses to start, and organizing all our gear. AND of course- preparing for our spring black bear hunts!

This year is going to be a great one- we are beyond excited to take our 2022 hunters into the bush and strive to hunt down their dream black bear. From our Toby Creek Territory all the way through to our Dutch Creek Territory, 700,000 acres of wilderness is yours to be seen. As 3rd generation outfitters, we know the land like the back of our hands. With our backcountry cabin camps, we can roam from peak to peak by horseback, covering many miles from day to day. 

Black bears live amongst the alder brush and open slides along Toby and Dutch Creek and our knowledgeable guides have the background experience on where to sit and glass. 

The Purcell wilderness is an experience in itself. The hours spent riding from the trailhead to camp, and then to various glassing spots, is full of breathtaking views. It’s always a highlight for us to share this unique landscape for the duration of the hunt. 


Although we are fully booked for our 2022 season, we are still taking bookings for  spring bear hunts in 2023. Our prices are likely to increase in the near future, so we encourage clients to book their hunts now if they want a chance at our current rates. 

Happy Spring everyone!
