Introduction:
The hunting area is located in the Purcell mountain range (West Kootenay) and consists of around 4,400 square kilometers. It is the largest guiding territory in the southeastern corner of British Columbia and encompasses the 80 mile Kootenai Lake. The terrain is rugged as you are hunting old cut blocks using trucks, quads, horses and hiking on foot. Temperatures can range from the low 30’s in the morning up to the 80’s in the middle of the day. It should be noted that the guiding area has seen very little hunting pressure the last 20 years and has never been set up to take non-resident hunters. There is not a problem with black flies or other insects for this hunt.
Accommodations:
There are two accommodation options for this hunt. Generally, there is no difference in the success of the hunt, and the cost of the trip is the same. You will stay where they feel you have the best opportunity given the specific conditions upon your arrival. The options are:
- The first is a cozy log cabin where Oz, the owner’s wife, is the cook. Here you will be very comfortable with 4 double occupancy bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There are 2 bedrooms and a bath on each floor. Private rooms might be available upon request.
- The other option is remote rustic cabins with lights, heat, stove, and water. Your guide is your cook.
