Awesome experience
10.0
Darryl and Joyce made us feel like we were part of the family. We prepared this hunt well in advance and communications has always been fluid and helpful. Super friendly and caring people, top notch accommodation and excellent food. We have harvested an elk on the 5th day of our 7 day hunt. We saw elks on the first 2 days of the hunt with no legal bulls but Stuart, our very experienced guide, focused on a high probability area that paid off on day 5. We were very well prepared for the challenging country (physically, mentally and equipment wise) which played and significant role in our overall experience. It has been a wonderful experience that left us with long lasting memories and friends.

Couldn’t be better
10.0
I took my son for his 8th grade graduation trip. He wanted to go bear hunting. We felt very well taken care of. The cabin and beds were comfortable, the food was amazing, nice, warm showers, beautiful scenery. We felt like we were part of the family. We saw a lot of bears and I think he would have been able to get at least one bear doing spot and stalk method if he was more experienced. He was able to shoot two bears, both using the hound dogs.
That it came to an end.

Hardest hunt of my life. The mountain s are steep and high. Not for the faint of heart
7.3
The are good people I liked, them all. We saw 65 goats. 5 good billys. Just not were i could climb up to git one. I saw 2 sheep. 15 elk, 2 bulls but none . big enough. 20 whitetail does 1 buck. He was too small.3 nice bull moose. And a cow. No tag and wrong season , 3 mule deer doe. there is game here just not what i was looking for., the Guides were great., Darryl saved my life on the mountain. He pulled me up. He is a Good man. His Son Cody is also A good man and a excellent Guide.
The mountain s there are steep. And high and very ruff. This was the most physically hunt i was ever on. This is mountaineer stuff. And in some places dangerous. I was not fully pepaired for a hunt like this. Also my Goat tag was not good for 48 hours after they got it for me. We watched a good billy for 3 days.That was Low enough for me to make an attempt on From the time i arrived he was in a good place, but buy the time we could hunt him he move and out my reach.we saw goats one mt drainage over. We climbed up and they were all Nanny s and kids. After that i was out of strenth, and gas i hurt to much to make another climb like that. Such is Goat hunting. There are no easy ones.! I guess i am too old and out of sape for a hunt like this.

2024 Goat Hunt
10.0
Great people and great guides. Saw goats pretty much every time we stopped to spot. Being able to stay in a cabin for a goat hunt with great food is an obvious plus as well. Confident if you’re able to do the hiking required, they’ll get you a Billy.

When I first arrived, I was immediately greeted by the owner Darryl and my guide for the week, Callum. I was welcomed into the lodge and the camp by the entire family. There is abundant game in the area, and you will not be disappointed by the amount of wildlife you'll see...big game ABOUNDS in this part of B.C. They know the area like the back of their hand, and they will definitely put the work into ensuring your success. The food and accommodations are second to none, with every bite you put in your mouth being homemade. I have never felt more at home and "at ease" by a family in my life. Highly recommended and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
Leaving on the last day was sad, as I had enjoyed my time with them so much!

This was my second hunt with White Swan Lake outfitters and as with my first it was a great experience. The White Swan Lake team make you feel right at home with them. The quality of game was very good, and many opportunities were present. I highly recommend hunting with White Swan Lake outfitters.

Incredible Experience
10.0
Everything.
My guide Callum was very experienced and skilled and put in serious work to find the elk, enduring long days and many miles in pretty rough terrain. The owners were extraordinarily kind, welcoming, and accommodating. I brought my wife and nine month old daughter along and couldn't have asked for a better environment for them while I was out hunting. The area we hunted in was the most magnificent and vast countryside I've ever seen in my life.
I wish I knew about this outfitter years ago.

10.0
Joyce and Darryl run a quality outfit they make you feel right at home like one of the family. Darryl and Cody know the game in their area and make all efforts to help you achieve your goal of a quality animal. I really enjoyed hunting with Darryl, he made me feel like I was hunting with a hunting Buddy. We seen numerous Black Bears daily with opportunities. I achieved my goal of harvesting a very nice color phase Bear thanks to Darryl.
Nothing, it was a great hunting trip!!!

Absolutely amazing
10.0
My whole experience was awesome, a welcomed break from work with extremely friendly and accommodating people, I was made feel like one of their family. The food, the accommodation, the entertainment was all top class. I was successful in my hunt but I also saw loads of wildlife, unbeleiveable scenery, met other interesting people in camp, told stories, heard stories, the complete package experience for long lasting memories. I fully recommend this outfitter choice and I can't wait to return here again to visit my friends, let's hope it's not too long.
Having to leave to return home.

Great Hospitality

Great food, friendly people, beautiful country, comfortable accommodations, really nice dogs. Sleeping under the stars in the Rocky Mountains under a harvest moon was one of the coolest experiences I've had. It's the real back country. Can't recommend these guys enough. They made me feel welcome and comfortable.

Challenging and exceptionally rewarding
10.0
Guides, horses, accommodations and food exceeded all expectations. Hunt was physically demanding, yet rewarding. Not for the faint of heart and into territory most will never see. Awesome hunt. To have a 5x6 at full draw at 10 yards is incredible. On the first day crossing one of the three slides on the way to the hunting cabin, 320 yds up were a 6x7 and 5x6 just watching us cross. Had it been a rifle hunt, it would have been over before we reached the cabin.

The accommodations and everyone involved with the Outfitter were excellent. I have been on several hunts and this one rates near the top. If looking for a BC Hunt, this one is highly recommended.
