Hunts


Bull Moose:

The Chilcotin plateau consists of spruce swamps, rolling hills, and various aged cut-blocks. In short, prime big game country in every direction. This includes the majestic moose as well as other game animals.  The bulls in our area can sport antlers wider then 50 inches, with a respectable bull running in at somewhere 40 inches. In a recent “moose count” conducted by our fish and wildlife, our area had one of the only growing populations. We strive for mature bulls, but do take a few smaller meat bulls each year as well. Typically the rut hunt, that runs somewhere between the end of September through until mid October, is the most exciting time to be pursuing big bulls.


Mule deer:

Mule deer populations are strong, and signs of whitetail numbers are looking very promising. The Mule deer summer range is up on the plateau and as falls moves in, they move eastward towards the Fraser River. We offer early season bow only hunts during the first 10 days of deer season, with the remainder of the season is open to rifles. In the later part of our deer hunting, we move to ranch land areas where the deer gather together for the rut.


Black Bear:

Known as the “BC Black Bear Masters”, big blackies are what we know. Cut-blocks produce endless amounts of food, along with our south facing grassy slopes. Classic spring bear hunts are one of our favourites. There are a lot of bears out filling up on grass, and their claws and pelts are prime. On a week long hunt it would not be unusual to view 50 different bears; some with size, other with color, and sometimes with both. We place our hunting efforts towards mature boars; in general they will square 6-6 and ½ feet. We do take bruisers that run over 7 feet with a matching skull of 19 inches. A classic spot and stalk bear hunt would consist of plenty of glassing, locating, stalking within range, and a whole lot of heart pounding excitement. Bears can be one of the hardest big game animals to pin down, so calibre and shot placement are equally important. Even with a good shot, finding a blood trail with a bear can be a real challenge. We like to make sure a client is in position to make a good follow up shot if it is required. Bears can be hunted both spring and fall, and wolves are an excellent addition. In short bear hunting is crazy exciting. We live for it!


Cougar/Lynx:

Mule deer from miles around gather in the Fraser basin to winter, this is the perfect habitat for huge cats. This is the northern territory for cougars, and this area is known for world class cats. With the help of a talented hounds man and hounds that simply will not quit, clients can expect to get opportunities for both cougar and lynx.  We target large toms, which can run over 7 feet long with 15 inch pumpkin heads. Listening to the hounds baying at the bottom of the tree will send excitement shivers up and down your spine. This hunt is a winter hunt; clients should come prepared or changing temperatures and weather conditions. We remain camped out in our predator area during the duration of the hunt, further ensuring our success. Darkness comes quick during the winter months up north, leaving time for everyone to sit back comfortably in the evenings and tell a few lies.



Wolf/Coyote:

Wolf hunting in the winter, this hunt is very much geared towards the client looking for an “out of the ordinary” hunting experience. We begin our work in the fall, replenishing and rebuilding bait plies. During the hunts, we visit the bait stations and look for sign and possibly opportunity. If fresh sign is around, we plan our next move, which will include howling and calling. Wolf hunting can take a time and staying power, just when you think there is no chance, they show out of no where. You simply have not hunted until you are out in the wilderness with wolves howling all around you. At their eerie cries, your heart will almost pound clean out of your chest. A successful wolf hunt can only be compared to summating Everest. Many world renowned hunters have never had an opportunity, and would give up “higher end” game hunts for a chance at a wolf. We work very hard to remain successful wolf hunters, staying one step ahead of nature’s apex predator is almost a full time job, and we do it.

The Area

T.F.Outfitters is located approximately 40 miles west of Quesnel, in central British Columbia. The region is know as the north Chilcotin and is apart of the Fraser plateau. The terrain consists of hundreds of lakes and streams, rolling timbered hills, spruce swamps with willowed flats, and logging blocks of various ages. As a whole, this is prime big game hunting country.

There are just enough road ways to allow us to plan our hunts accordingly and to give us easy access to the hot spots. We are noticing that having large open areas, created from logging activity, we are now seeing not only more moose but much larger antler spreads

This area simply keeps getting better, with proper management the big game is becoming more diverse (we are seeing some great bull elk) and increasing in numbers. The future for this area and it’s hunting, fishing, and trapping have never been brighter.


Backcountry fishing expeditions

T.F.Outfitters offers backcountry fishing trips for clients looking for pristine waters and un-crowded spaces. With over 30 lakes and streams to choose from, patrons will be guided to wild trophy rainbow trout and elusive but veracious bull trout.

Flyfishermnen/women can thrill at a 9lb rainbow ripping backing and dancing along the surface, finally to be landed and released again to fight another day. We uniquely can offer our clients fishing opportunities without any other anglers to be found pressuring the fishery. Matching the hatch will have lines stretching all afternoon

With mobile camps, we offer camping right on the shores of some of our lakes and streams. Fishing from “can see to can’t see” is our motto. Join us and slow down to Chilcotin time.

Exclusive corporate retreats, family getaways, special occasions, we can customize your fishing adventure.



Trapline Adventures

New! Trapline Adventures:

We now offer adventures for clients that are looking for something a little less ordinary.
Clients arrive in Quesnel, there we put them up in one of the cities local attractions, The Billy Barker Casino. The casino will serve as the main base of this northern adventure, from there we will pick up clients and spend days as a “Cariboo Trapper”. Guests can expect to spend their days on different lines participating in trap set, fur harvest, and finishing up with fur preparation. Visitors can expect to bring home one of each fur caught of a Marten, Fisher, Mink, Beaver, Ermine, Coyote, Fox, and Otter. Wolverine, Wolf,  and lynx can be purchased
at fair value. Some of these truly elusive trophies can only be had in this fashion, so for anyone thinking that their trophy rooms are complete, well they may have to think again. The cost of this 6 night/5day winter adventure is $4000US, this could also fit well with an extended stay and a predator and/or cat hunt. Call or email us for more details on this truly, adventure of a lifetime.
