More about us
Our company was established in 1948 and operates in 1 territory.
- A/Z Outfitters was established in 1948 by Dix Anderson. He began operating up Dutch Creek in the East Kootenays of British Columbia. Amongst the territory, backcountry cabins were built, only accessible by horse. Today, we operate the same way, using horses to pack up gear and hunt the mountains, and old cabins to stay in. In 1990, Bill DuBois bought the territory and continued guiding a variety of hunts including: Elk, Moose, Mountain Goat, Mule Deer, and Black Bear.
- In 2010, Bill’s son, Brent DuBois bought the company and remains the current owner. As of 2016 we have expanded our territory into Toby Creek, meaning we hunt 1100 sq. miles, with about 400 sq miles of this territory being inside the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy with nine cabin camps.
- This is truly a prime trophy hunting destination, a real slice of pristine wilderness that is yours to be seen, featuring Elk, Goat, Bear, Moose, Deer and Cougar hunts. Our impressive game, experienced guides and noble horses are surely provide hunters the hunt of a lifetime.
About this hunt
Goat Hunting is offered during the mid-September to mid-November months. These trips are suited for clients that enjoy the beauty from the higher peaks, and are driven for 9 days of climbing the mountain tops.
This experience is all inclusive. Cabin-cooked meals, a well broke horse, and knowledgeable guide are waiting for you!
We begin with a ride from Dutch Creek’s trail Head to “Big Cabin”, a 6 hour ride through timber, open valley’s and beautiful, rugged landscapes. Day 2-8 are dedicated to hunting. Typically, we ride from Big Cabin each day to various hunting lookouts and points. We glass the peaks until a billy is spotted, then plan the approach from there.
Once you have successfully hunted your Billy, it is up to you how much longer you would like to stay in camp. Day 9, the last day of the hunt, is a day dedicated for riding back to the Dutch Creek trail head.
Our cabin camps have bunk beds with sleeping foamies. Most of our cabins do not have a shower. Our camps do have cook cabins consisting of a fridge, stove, and oven.
Our biggest goal is for our clients to enjoy their experience. The hunt is YOURS. We do not need a set schedule or routine if you have something else you would prefer.
The guides and wranglers on our crew are simply there to support and guide you, and to ensure we are operating legally and safely. We want to do everything in our power to give you your dream hunt, and an experience you’ll treasure forever.
