I am thinking about celebrating the retirement of the first 20 years in the military with a mixed bag hunt in BC, the Yukon, NWT or Kazakhstan. 4th one is kind of a different discussion, so we'll leave it at that. What and who would you recommend for a mountain caribou, mountain goat, grizzly or moose, maybe elk, wolf and black bear hunt? For argument sake Kazakhstan would be 2 ibex, a maral, brown bear, roe deer and wolf. Budget is $30,000. Also a 40th birthday present. I have 3 rules. 1. Has to be horseback. 2. Has to be an area that isn't overshot, with a reasonable chance of success. 3. Have to have legitimate tags, not selling hunts for tags they don't have. Not sure if this was ever made illegal. I know it used to happen in BC, but not sure about the other two. | ||

I would strongly suggest you consider the Collingwood Brothers in BC: http://www.collingwoodbros.com/_/Home.html They have exactly what you are interested in. They are very ethical, well experienced, and have a great area. I have hunted with them three times, all successfully. | |||

Hi - for Kazakhstan you should try Westfalia Jagdreisen in Germany. www.westfalia-jagdreisen.de In the same area you can hunt very good ibex and maral by horseback. With a good chance of a bear, but they are bonus. For roe deer I thnk you have to change area. I hunted ibex and maral there my self. Shot a 131 cm ( 51,5 inch ) ibex and a 12,2 kg maral. One Austrian hunter took a bear as well and another one found a bear on top of his ibex carcass but spooked. Bigger maral ( 13-14 kg ) should not be any problem if you are trained on horses. The hunter before us shot a ibex of 56 inch. Speak to Josef Thoma and say hello from Morten from Norway  The more I know, the less I wonder ! | |||

I have been told that multiple species hunts are a bad idea. I have to put some thought into this. Anyne have any epxerience with multi-species hunts in Yukon, NWT and BC? | |||

Yukon for 30000$ will be a little low on your budget for a multiple hunt and species. elk is a no no over here and if you re going in the right area there will be not that much local hunters as some aeras get more quota for the non residents than residents. if you re coming here please dont forget and do us a favor to shoot some wolves. there is less and less outfitters that use horses be sure to find the right one. check references please. | |||

I just got back from a combo hunt in extreme Northern BC (FT Nelson area). It was a horseback combo hunt with Moose and mountain grizzly being the main focus. I had tags for goat blackbear wolf and caribou as well. I shot a moose. My friend who came along (we both hunted 1x1 out of seperate camps) shot a moose and a goat . I wouldn't go to Northern Bc for a combo hunt again after this experience. The hunt was sold to us as a "70-80% success bear hunt with the likelyhood of shooting a moose that will basically be a alaskan yukon moose- just on the other side of the border" I saw one boar grizzly in 20 days of hunting-just before dark feeding on berries at about 6000ft- we were at 3000 ft so could only look and dream. My friend didn't see a single bear in 14 days. The moose we shot were 52 and 54 inches- they were the biggest (by a considerable margin) out of the 6 or 7 the outfitter harvested while we were there. In my opinion not really alaka/yukon moose quality. The moose I shot and the one my friend shot were the only legal bulls either of us saw in our respective hunt times. Neither of us had a chance at a caribou or even saw a legal bull. neither of us saw a wolf. There were lots and lots of goats. The horse back part of the hunt was Ok BUT the terrain was rugged enough and the alders were thick enough that any game spotted was 1000's of feet above us and the horses were basically no help whatsoever in getting there. So if you are looking for a horseback hunt to assist with the elevation gain... sort of Sol. The hunt was not really any cheaper than a yukon hunt and although I had fun in hindsight I wish I had booked a hunt in the Yukon- I feel that we would of gotten better trophies and indeed a better experience there... | |||

Pick a primary species and have a pocket full of tags for whatever comes along. The up front tag costs in BC is very high so that is one consideration. They are very cheap in Yukon and NWT. On your budget, I think a moose/grizz/caribou combo in Yukon would be realistic. Pick an outfitter that will allow you to shoot additional species on a trophy fee basis only. Deuling Stone is a good option in the Yukon for a multi-species horseback hunt.. | |||

I want a horseback hunt because I have a screwed up foot, a missing tail bone and 3 crushed disk in my back. I can't carry more than about 20-30 pounds. I can climb though. | |||

Chris Widrig could also be a good Choice. I have hunted there and you would be able to have a moose and a caribou and good chance on a bear. Jarret Deuling is also a good guy and would be able to serve the same. In Kazakhstan you will not have any problem With a maral and a ibex as long as you pick the guys I have talked about and the right spot to hunt. Option on bear and wolf. The more I know, the less I wonder ! | |||

Kawdy Outfitters. I've hunted with the Lancasters multiple times. Horseback, not shot out and a good quality outfit. PM me if you like and I can give you details. | |||

Thanks all, I'll see about putting it together in the next few months. We are in the midst of the 3rd cross country move in 2 months. | |||

With that budget, go to Namibia and have fun in good weather and shoot 10 to 15 species. Better food too. | |||

Also, having lived in Kazakhstan, you would lucky to see or shoot much. The Kazakhs hunt a lot and the best areas are reserved for politicians and very influential people. I would not go there at all to hunt. | |||

There's a lot of truth in that! A Yukon Moose, Grizzly, Caribou combo for 15-20 days is probably going to run 40K+ if you are successful on everything. For that money, you can go on a really nice 14 day elephant hunt in Zim AND do a 10 day plains game hunt in Namibia including all the trophy fees. | |||

I have hunted Namibia before, as well as Germany, Australia, Italy, Turkey and Spain. I am not branding myself as a mountain hunter, I just like it better. I'll hunt Europe again and I love it, but there is something about true wilderness hunts. | |||

I meant I'll hunt Africa again. Just not an itnerest right now. Of course I'll hunt Europe it is wonderful. | |||

BWW - Sir, I've done multi - species hunts in all 3 of the provinces you mention, and all with great success. To say one cannot get a good mixed bag hunt would be in-accurate. You certainly can, area/outfitter are obviously key. | |||

I agree with Dogcat about Namibia, or Zim for that matter, but if the Northwest is where you aim to go, I place a second vote for Collingwood Bros. who have over 35 years of experience in a great area for multi-species hunts --- I've done four such hunts very successfully there for moose, grizzly, caribou, and mountain goat. Their guides and equipment are top notch. There are a number of good outfitters in the NWT, but only a few total outfitters in the Yukon. I would elect the Collingwood Bros area for better weather as well. Have a great hunt and the planning will be at least half of the fun. Kelly Gill | |||

pretty much mirrors my experience. a buddy and i did a 10 moose /caribou just north of Fort Nelson( Muncho Lake area). he shot a small moose, i shot nothing. next year we went further north just below the Yukon border. we bought tags for everything. another 10 days on horseback , neither of us fired our rifles. but we did manage to freeze our asses off and loose 12-15 lbs. went to Africa the next year and 12 years later i haven't frozen my ass off on another hunting trip.... good luck!
