Overview of the Hunt Experience
The British Columbia Shiras Moose Horseback Hunt in Purcell Mountains delivers an authentic backcountry adventure in the remote Purcell Wilderness Area of southern British Columbia. Far from roads and crowds, these hunts are conducted entirely on horseback, allowing hunters to access prime moose habitat deep in the mountains. As a result, the experience feels rugged, traditional, and unforgettable from start to finish.
Proven Success in Prime Moose Country
This outfitter has achieved an impressive 100% success rate over the past three seasons. Consequently, hunters can expect excellent opportunities on quality bulls. Shiras moose taken here typically range from 35 to 45 inches, while occasional trophies pushing the 50-inch mark are harvested each year. Because pressure is extremely limited, bulls grow older and heavier, creating outstanding trophy potential throughout the area.
Horseback Hunting in the Purcell Mountains
Unlike road-based hunts, this British Columbia Shiras Moose Horseback Hunt in Purcell Mountains relies on experienced horses to travel through vast drainages, timbered valleys, and high mountain meadows. Therefore, hunters cover more productive ground while conserving energy for critical stalks. Moreover, seasoned guides with extensive local knowledge ensure efficient travel and smart hunting strategies each day.
Comfortable Backcountry Spike Cabins
Although the hunt is rugged, comfort is not overlooked. Each night, hunters return to well-placed backcountry spike cabins that provide warmth, shelter, and rest after long days in the saddle. In addition, these cabins are strategically located to maximize daily hunting efficiency while maintaining the true wilderness feel of a classic horseback hunt.
A True Wilderness Moose Adventure
Ultimately, this hunt is ideal for hunters seeking a pure, old-school experience. The combination of horses, remote terrain, proven success, and expert guiding makes the British Columbia Shiras Moose Horseback Hunt in Purcell Mountains one of the most rewarding moose hunts available. If you are looking to disconnect from modern pressure and reconnect with true backcountry hunting, this fall adventure belongs at the top of your list.
