British Columbia Moose Hunting

The area is approx. 3300 sq. miles (2,112,000 Acres) of pristine wilderness. It is considered to be one of the best hunting areas in all of Canada. With almost no resident hunting pressure or access to 95% of the hunting concession, you will feel like it’s untouched. Everything has to be flown in via floatplane or long horse pack train. There is no riverboat access to the area either. In all, there are approximately 70 Lakes (lots of which have great fishing) in the area and 1 River, which offer some type of floatplane access. We have many established camps throughout and will be increasing our number of camps in the near future to hunt new, unexplored habitat. Hunters arrive in Whitehorse, Yukon (if flying) with multiple flights daily from Vancouver, Calgary and even Europe. Generally we allow a night in Whitehorse then a short 2 hours drive to Atlin the following day, followed by a scenic float plane jump to camp. The area is mostly known for its amazing Canadian Moose (both quality and numbers) and also arguably BC’s greatest Mountain Caribou herd. We also have some awesome Stone Sheep rams, True Mountain Grizzly, a healthy Goat population, elusive Wolves and Wolverines and the occasional Black Bear. The elevations of the lakes and rivers range from 2,000 – 5000 feet. Most of the mountains in the area are quite rough and steep with the highest peaks stretching between 7,000 & 9,000 ft

British Columbia is known for its vast moose population. Our area has a high density of Canada Moose and is known for its trophy size animals. The land provides ideal moose habitat with lots of swamps, lakes, creeks and rivers. The soil is mineral rich and the result is fast growing vegetation, especially willows, a main food source for moose. We harvest heavy antlered moose with an average rack of 45", with many taken in the 50"-60" range. Our success rate is high and we have taken Boone & Crocket bulls in the past.

Our moose hunts are ranging from a typical northern BC fly-in hunt for big bulls to a drive-in meat moose hunt with a trophy opportunity. The Driftwood Valley Outfitting area has two (2) functioning landing strips for wheel planes and seven (7) different fly-in lakes with camps out of log or wood cabins. Every camp is fully stocked and equipped to provide a perfect base to hunt out of. The more remote locations have healthy moose populations unaffected by hunting. The most northern camps on White Lake and Bird Flat Creek offer the best opportunity for big Canadian Moose. Many are over 50 inch with some specimens reaching the magical 60 inch mark. The average size in our guide area would be between 45 inch to 55 inch for a mature bull.

Our area borders the Yukon and although our moose share the same genetics as the Alaska/Yukon moose they are classified as a Canadian moose in the record books. They range from 1400 – 1600 pounds and have an average spread of 55-60 inches with the occasional bull being over 60. We have a very strong population, there are moose throughout the entire 5000 sq mile area. Our traditional horseback hunts start out at a base camp and often spike out a little further into the high country in some of the high Valleys and brushy basins where moose can be found almost any time of the year. This is a true and exciting adventure, and every moose hunt is different. Big bulls can be spotted miles away and the horses are needed to close the distance and most importantly, pack them out! Most times they still have to be called out into position and will get your heart pumping! It also works well to combo this type of hunt with a caribou, Goat or Stone Sheep!

The outfitted British Columbia moose hunts that we offer are for trophy Canadian Moose. Our goal as moose hunting outfitters is to harvest bulls 50 inches or larger. We run very high success on this type of bull and encourage our hunters not to shoot anything less. We are always concerned about trophy management and are looking to harvest mature bulls. Every year we harvest a number of bulls grossing over the 195 B+C minimum and seeing that 200 mark broken is not a rare occurrence. These are top notch Canadian Moose Hunts not only in British Columbia but in all of Canada.

The Upper Matthew River provides all that moose love; red willows, many small meadows, and muskeg. The heavily traveled game trails are extraordinary. Moose and goat can be hunted simultaneously. As you are moose hunting time will be taken to glass the peaks above you for goat and vise versa.
