Охота на лося в Британской Колумбии

British Columbia is home to two of the four main moose subspecies found in North America. The Northwestern moose is most common across Northern BC and the Peace Country, including Omineca and Skeena-style river bottoms, willow flats, and cutblocks. The Shiras moose inhabits the southeastern Rockies/Kootenays and parts of the southern Interior, where mountain timber meets parks, burns, and high basins. Some of the most attractive options are located along the border with Alaska and Yukon provinces, where the moose often have Alaska-Yukon genetics, but count as Western in trophy books. Exact boundaries vary by region and management unit—your outfitter will match your tag area to the subspecies you’re targeting. Most hunts combine glassing at first light, stand-and-call setups in willows, and slow still-hunting along cutlines, with access by truck, boat, or horseback depending on country. Expect 7–10 day packages commonly in the $10,000–$18,000 USD range. Moose hunts in British Columbia often come as combos with black bear, wolf, mule deer for Shiraz moose hunts, and even mountain goats and caribou. As moose are water-loving species, opportunities to cast a line after trout, pike, or salmon are usually available; don’t forget to ask your outfitter to get you a fishing license. For hunting tourists, the big wins are simple logistics (major airports, comfortable camps), professional trophy care, and the fact that most international visitors hunt with a licensed guide-outfitter—exactly what you want when a 1,000-pound bull finally answers your call.
