You’ll be hunting east-central BC, straight west of Jasper National Park, between McBride and Prince George. The hunting area is 980 sq. miles of pristine mountains and valleys. The area is referred to as the “wet side” of the Rockies, with a high annual rainfall. This equates into lush undergrowth, food, and swamps… which is ideal for moose hunting.

• In the early season we hunt the high mountain alpine where the moose summer to avoiding the insects. Once the rut starts they make their way down to the lower country to chase cows. Rut hunts consist of spotting a good bull, then moving in to set up to call (cow and bull calls). Bulls will usually come in to investigate giving the hunter a close and at times very intense shot. We also sometimes use a decoy, which has proven quite effective over the years.
• The moose in this area of British Columbia average 40-55 inches with some bulls in the 60+ range being taken every year. Although Canada moose are not as big as their Alaskan cousins, they are still a huge animal that will get your heart pounding when they are in bow range.
• All moose hunts are a total of 8 days.
