Hunting an interesting alpine package with stone sheep and mountain goat in one of the most peaceful and beautiful regions of British Columbia, Canada
Over the years the area has produced some exceptional rams with a variety of colours of sheep, from light grey to nearly black.
The Rams average from 35 – 37 inches in length and 13 – 14 inches bases. Rams up to 42 ½ inches long with bases up to 15 inches have been harvested out of the area. Usual hunting time are 15 hunting days.
The hunting pressure on stone sheeps is extremely low due to the limited access.
The huge hunting area (750.000 acres, 303.750 hectar) has a stabile population of stone sheeps and there are a lot of other hunting gamespecies in the area.
The Omineca Mountain Range hunting area also has a large and abundant population of goats spread all over the area. Our billy goats average 9 ½” in length and 5 ¾” bases with quite a few 10” plus. The area has produced goats scoring over 50 B&C.
Due to our remote location the hunting pressure is extremely low and many of these goats have never seen a person.
The goats are hunted in the higher mountains, so you need a lot of endurance and fittnes, which makes that to a very special kind of hunt. All hunts are by way of horses and/or backpack.
The hunting time for this package is from the 19th of August till the 13th of September and you normally hunt the package easy in 15 days.
During the hunt you normally live in rustical cabin or tent camps, which lay next to rivers and are not far away from the good hunting spots. You´ll be guided by a professional hunter, who is an expert in this territory.
Your trip will begin out of either Burns Lake or Smithers.
If you are planning on driving here, you can drive right to the float dock in burns lake. There is parking available and it is a safe place to leave your vehicle. If you are flying commercial then you will need to book your flights into Smithers (CYYD) via Vancouver. We´ll pick you up at the airport with our charter plain.
The transportation in the hunting area is mostly the traditional way by horse mixed with a combination of backpacking or river boats. Typically we use the horses to get from base camp up into the high basins where we will have a spike camp to hunt out of. Sometimes, once up there we will take off backpacking for a few days to access more country not accessible by horse.
Charter flights to and from the hunting area, licences and species tags for selected hunts are included as well as all meals, skinning, caping, and meat care.
The hunter preservation fund, government roaylities and taxes and the hunting license are included as well.
It is possible to take a non hunting accompanion with you. Costs are 300 $ per hunting day.
If you are not possible to bring your own gun, for 550 $ iin total it is possbile to borrow a proffesional gun with ammunition included.
The hunting success for this package is nearly 100%.
