I am looking to book a moose hunt in BC. I am either thinking the East Kootenay's or around the Price George area. Any advise from those that know? Specific outfitter suggestions would be appreciated as well.

If you are looking for a trophy bull,the best areas in B.C. are in the north.I saw 48" to 50" bulls every day in the Prophet River and Muskwa River area.

boxhead...make damned sure you take out a few wolves while your there, so there are some moose left when I get there in a few years.

Hi Stubblejumper. Any outfitter recommendations for the Prohpet/Muskwa? I have a giude friend that hunts the Spatsezi for Collingwood who claimed 2007 was a poor year for moose--having to do with a large snow drop last year. Does this fit?

There was a significant winterkill of moose/elk/deer in parts of Northern BC last winter for sure...maybe all of N. BC, I am not sure?

Most of the well known guys in the Muskwa / Kechika and Spatsizi / Dease areas have great territories for moose. Google the following:

Stone Mountian Safaris
Folding Mountain Outfitters
Kawdy Outfitters
Tuchodi River Outfitters
Prophet/Muskwa Outfitters
etc

Cheers,
Canuck

Thanks much Canuck.

I'm with Canuck, go north.
Take care and have a good trip

I hunted with Prophet Muskwa Outfitters.I turned down several bull moose and 6x6 bull elk every day.I also saw caribou,grizzly and stone sheep on my hunt.The prices aren't cheap,but there are large numbers of trophy quality animals.

B93: Could you confirm that they are still in business. Divorce/retirement? Could you clear that up?

Was/is a quality operation.

Boxhead: I don't know about PG but in the Mackenzie area the moose and deer were thinned out very much buy deep snow and way too many wolves
