With our close proximity to the Yukon and several shared waterways we have both the population and great genetics for the some of the world’s biggest Canadian Moose. With an average well over 53”, and several moose over 60” each year, it’s no wonder that Cassiar is becoming “the place” to fulfill a dream moose hunt. To quote one of our hunters “I have seen more moose in the first hour of this hunt than I did in ten days of hunting in the Yukon. This is an amazing place”. Of course that’s not an everyday thing, but you should see it for yourself!
On a horseback hunt we use the horses to get up high and glass for moose or we will cover ground while hunting the edges of the timber and willow draws. Hunters can on availability add caribou onto this hunt with great success. Without doubt we offer B.C.s best Moose/Caribou combination hunt.
On a boat hunt you will travel the lakes and/or rivers while calling for moose; you may also take short hikes up to vantage points and meadows. The success rate and trophy size on these hunts is the same as our horseback hunts but the hunt will be less physically demanding. Generally these hunts are booked as two hunters for one guide making them a great choice for those looking to hunt with a friend or family member. One hunter per guide can also be arranged for those wishing to hunt alone on not share his time. Because of the density of moose in our lakes region this is a perfect place for our dedicated archery clients or the older guys who may just like to have a relaxing break from the busy world.
Don't make the mistake to think that the Lake hunt is only for " the Ol'man", Adventurous guides and endless area can add up to one of the most epic hunts for the fit hunter as well. Year after year the Lakes provide Huge bulls and High success for our hunters. If Big Moose is your goal and Horses aren't your thing, inquire for more details about Lake/River hunts.
The Cassiar area is truly unbelievable. We easily compete with the Yukon for quality on average and by classification of being Canadian Moose your chances at a record book moose are more likely here then any other region. Don’t be trigger happy early on in a hunt…. you don’t need to!
Testimonial: Lake Moose Hunt
"Dustin, what a trip! From start to finish the trip was outstanding. Basecamp with Dean and Katie was first class meals and accommodations, Deaner is awesome. Considering where our camp was the accommodations there were 5 star. Sam and Harry did an awesome job. I can’t say enough about the guides. Very personable and friendly. If I only had one work to describe them I would say “accommodating” considering my dad isn’t exactly and Olympian or a hunter they still managed to make it happen and comfortably for my Dad and I. They honestly work harder than cougar hunting dogs! The territory is incredible. I kept saying you couldn’t draft up a better moose hunting landscape and the amount of moose we seen was outstanding as well considering our trip was cut short due to weather. I honestly can’t think of anything I would change. I have been on a guided elk hunt, Dall sheep hunt and a few bird hunts and this was by far my best-guided experience by a long shot. We were about half way done our trip and I was already trying to figure out how to make it back up there and have highly recommended you to everyone who’s inquired."

"Dustin, Hunting northern BC was a lifelong dream. The amazing crew at Backcountry BC & Beyond made it a lifetime memory. My life has been filled with hunting adventures. My ten days in the Cassiars with this crew puts this hunt at the top of the list of hunting memories."
