who we are

2022 Newsletter.

We recently completed the first full operating season since Covid hit Canada with border closures. After 37 years, we are very proud of our “brand” and unique service we offer to hunters from around the world…an old fashion wilderness, horseback trip. When you look at these pictures of our hunters with their kill, you need to imagine the intense effort required! Nothing comes easy on these hunts. There is no helicopter support, busy argo/atv trails, or high fence, grain feeding stations. Just hunters, guides, wranglers, riding through mountains that show few scars of human development.

As soon as the ice went out in June, we began constructing a new shop/tack cabin at our Goz Lake camp. We have built over 4500 square feet of new infrastructure since 2016. As a business, we are constantly looking to improve our level of service. The beauty and wilderness setting of our two base camps is unsurpassed.

Expectations were high going into the season, as there was almost no hunting in the area during the previous two “covid” years. Moose hunting was very good. Thirteen of fourteen hunters had success, with many bulls over 60” harvested. Caribou hunting was consistent throughout, with excellent trophy quality. The Dall sheep hunts were challenging. We had to cover a lot of ground each day and it looks like two straight heavy snow winters have taken their toll on older rams. That said, the overall population is doing great and many six- and seven-year-old rams spotted. Hunters harvested two grizzlies. The good news is almost everyone reported seeing bear. We have many grizzly quota points remaining. I would encourage our future hunters to consider a tag, as opportunities for grizzly hunting worldwide are now quite limited.

Now on to the 2022 highlights; Ted Inman lives in Alaska and loves hunting bear. He drove from Fairbanks (which in itself has a good population of grizzly) to ride through the Yukon mountains on horseback. The result was a nice 6 ft. 10” male, mountain grizzly.

Husband/wife team, Greg & Amy Ford had a rewarding early August hunt, with Amy taking a 35 ½”, broomed ram and dandy caribou.

Luke Maher travelled all the way from Australia with his bow to collect a 64 ½” moose, which will easily make the Pope & Young record book.

John Siegler killed a heavy 38 ½” ram and a great caribou, while his hunting partner was rewarded with a decent ram on the very last day.

Jeff Koster and Robby Castagno had a terrific hunt, taking 62” and a heavy 60” record book bull moose. Both also harvested trophy caribou in early September.
