Your hunting adventure will always begin at Big Creek Lodge. Some hunts will be conducted from here for the duration of the hunt and others will require us to head to one of the outpost camps. If your adventure takes you to one of these camps then we will get everyone fitted to his or her own horse and tack. We either explore the trails around the lodge or head out to our hunting camp. If you are heading into the mountains for a deer or moose hunt, then the horses and gear get loaded into the trailer and driven 12 km / 8 miles to where the trail starts. There we load the horses with all the gear and supplies for the hunt and ride the last stretch to the hunting camp (20 km / 12 miles). Arriving there, you will get a warm meal and a good night’s rest. You can even take a hot shower if you’d like. From the camp you will hunt either by foot or on horseback, this depends on the decision of the hunting guide and the accessibility of the game.
Based on the type of game you wish to hunt, we will use different methods including spot and stalk or calling. This will be discussed closely before the hunt. Predator hunts for cats are offered using the aid of well trained hound dogs that will pursue the animal until they are located in a tree or bayed up on the ground. Hunting days are usually rather long, so be prepared for an exciting experience. When the hunting trip is over and we have successfully harvested some game, we will return to Big Creek Lodge for a home-cooked meal and relaxation in the hot tub. Our guides will help you take care of the trophy, and will bring it to the taxidermist and assist with preparing it for shipping
The hunts above can also be done as combination hunts as long as the open season for each species overlaps. Choose a main hunt, and add animals from there to make a combination. Additional costs apply for each additional animal.
