Where big game still roam free
Northern British Columbia’s rugged wilderness has been a hunting paradise for thousands of years. Today, the land still beckons to hunting enthusiasts around the world.
The fur traders of the late 1800s knew the magnificence of the species found here. It’s big game country, revered hunting grounds for moose, deer, elk, caribou, wolves, black bear, grizzly bear, Stone sheep and mountain goat. British Columbia’s hunting laws require that a licensed guide outfitter accompany all out-of-province hunters, and there are strict regulations regarding species and limits, hunting seasons and firearms requirements.
Moose hunters rave about the region surrounding Vanderhoof. To the north there is the beautiful village of Fort St. James and massive Stuart Lake and to the south, there are the Finger Lakes and Nations Lakes area, all rich with wildlife[ECS1] . Full-grown buck, or male moose can weight up to 800 kilograms, nearly 1,800 pounds and their racks can easily reach a spread of nearly 1-½ metres.
Bear hunting vacations are first-class, with local guides, outfitters and lodges accommodating visitors for once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Northern British Columbia offers a regulated black bear and grizzly bear season, and opportunities for a successful hunt are outstanding across the region.
One of the most scenic hunting adventures can be experienced in Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park, located north of Smithers and Highway 16 West. Both the Stikine and Spatsizi rivers cross this 696,000-hectare paradise. Grizzly bears and black bears are numerous here, with giants up to nine feet tall, and 1,600 pounds. Hunters are welcome to visit the park, accompanied by a licensed guide. Outfitters in Smithers, Houston and Burns Lake offer complete vacation packages for the perfect hunting vacation.
For hunters looking for Stone Sheep, Fort Ware and Fort St. John are top destinations. Located in the far north of the province, both offer great access to the Muskwa- Kechika Management Area. These are the farthest reaches of the Rocky Mountains, making perfect habitat for the Stone sheep that roam free here.
