Trophy Moose:
A Classic Northern BC Hunt
We offer quality hunts for Canadian Moose with very good success rates. The average antler spread of our moose is 45-55 inches with the occasional one reaching 60 inches. If you hunt moose for a living you better have a wolf management strategy and trapping wolves in our guiding area during the winter has paid off for us in a big way. Each year we are seeing more and more mature trophy bulls being taken by our hunters. The vastness of our guide territory allows us to offer several different types of moose hunts without sacrificing the quality of the hunt or the quality of the moose. Out of basecamp we can offer hunts for moose from 4×4, riverboat, tree-stand or on foot that can be tailored to anyone regardless of age or physical ability. In the backcountry we can hunt for moose as a classic mountain horseback hunt or fly in by floatplane and hunt moose from a remote drop camp.
High Success Spot & Stalk Black Bear Hunting
In BC baiting bears is illegal, but we aren’t one to complain. Our black bear hunts are all spot and stalk and have been 100% opportunity for years. We know it’s not uncommon for baited bear hunts to be 100%, but why not do a spot and stalk hunt that is 100 times the excitement with the same success on 6 foot or better bears? If a big black bear is what you are looking for then spring (late May-mid June) is the time to come up to Northern BC. In the springtime the bears have just emerged from the den and are hungry for green grass. The roadsides and south facing cutblocks is where they will be found making this a hunt that anyone regardless of age or physical ability will enjoy. In addition to the concentration of good high quality feed, the bears are also in the rut in the spring and we see big boars at this time of year that we rarely see at any other time of the year. We are on a 2 bear limit and most hunters will kill a 6 foot or better bear, with several going 7 foot plus. Having just emerged from the den the bears still have their full winter coats at this time of year. Our bears are generally all black with many of them having the classic white “V” on their chest. Color phase bears range from cinnamon to a dark chocolate brown. Color phase harvest rates vary year to year, but overall our black bear harvest average is 10% color phase.
Mountain Goat
True Alpine Adventure at it’s Best
90% of the World’s entire population of Mountain Goats are found in the mountains of British Columbia and our guiding territory is home to some of the most productive goat habitat in the province. We have developed an extensive network of backcountry cabins and trails that allow us to utilize horses to access remote valleys which, still in this modern age, see trophy billies dying of old age without ever laying their keen eyes on a human. Mountain Goat hunting is a very physically demanding hunt, for many hunters it is the toughest hunt they have ever done. Our goal is to get you a great Billy and as long as you are in reasonable shape and have a good mental outlook our guides can get you in position on a trophy animal. In fact, it has been a common theme among hunters at Circle M Outfitters that their Mountain Goat hunt has been the most rewarding hunt of their lifetime. We pride ourselves in maintaining high quality goat hunting year after year and only harvest mature Billie's. Our success rate on mountain goats is 90% and our average horn size is 9-10”. We offer several different hunting styles for trophy mountain goats. However, our specialty is horse assisted hunting. Using the horses allows you to travel deep into the backcountry, not to mention that it really saves your body until your goat is spotted and it’s time to climb. The horses also allow you to cover a lot of ground during your hunt and eliminate long approaches to the mountain. If you do not care for horses you can still hunt big mountain goats either from our basecamp using 4×4 for access or fly into one of our many remote high elevation mountain lakes and backpack hunt for that big Billy.
