British Columbia (Northern) – Mountain Caribou Hunt

The British Columbia Northern Mountain Caribou Hunt gives hunters a rare chance to pursue one of North America’s most striking big-game animals. Not only can this hunt be booked as a stand-alone adventure, but it can also be added to many of the outfitter’s other big-game hunts, including moose. Because of this flexibility, hunters often maximize both opportunity and time in the field. Each September, Northern Mountain Caribou travel from miles away to rut inside this exclusive concession, which greatly improves visibility and success.

Peak Rut Timing & Trophy Bulls

September is the key month for this hunt, as bulls gather in tight areas during the rut. During this time, most harvested bulls score between 350” and 380” Boone & Crockett. In addition, every season produces a few exceptional bulls nearing—or even passing—the 400” mark. Many mature bulls also show long white manes and bold white markings along the body. As a result, these animals make truly unforgettable trophies.

Consistent Success Rates

This outfitter is well known for consistent results, with caribou success rates often reaching 100%. Even when hunters add caribou as a second species to a moose hunt, success remains extremely high. Therefore, this hunt is ideal for hunters who want strong odds without added pressure or rushed days.

Horseback & Backpack Hunting

Most British Columbia Northern Mountain Caribou hunts are done on horseback, which allows hunters to cover large areas with less fatigue. From there, guides glass multiple high points each day until the right bull is found. Meanwhile, caribou frequently move close to the horses, often within 30 yards. Because of this, hunters enjoy incredible photo opportunities along the way. For those wanting more challenge, backpack hunts are also available for the right client.

Special Late Hunt Option

For hunters seeking something more demanding, the outfitter also offers a limited “Special Late Hunt.” This option is designed for fit, determined backpack hunters who are willing to push harder for elite trophies. However, only a few hunters are accepted each year. For that reason, early planning is strongly advised.

A True Trophy Caribou Experience

In the end, this hunt delivers exceptional genetics, proven success, and breathtaking country. Moreover, the British Columbia Northern Mountain Caribou Hunt stands out as a true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for serious trophy hunters.
