- Select a date – hunts are booked first come, first serve so make sure you book far enough in advance to get your preferred date. Large groups need the most lead time.

- Once you have decided on your hunt, we will send you a Hunt Contract confirming your wishes and requesting a deposit.

Things to Know Before You Book
What's Included on Your Hunt
Our hunts are all inclusive of meals, accommodations and guide service from when you arrive in camp. Field transportation while hunting is included, as is field dressing, caping and transporting harvested animals back to camp. Not included are taxidermy expenses, pre and post hunt travel, or meals.
No linens or sleeping bags are required. Bring your own personal bathroom kit.
We serve beer and wine at dinner. Hard liquor is the responsibility of the hunter. We expect our guests to drink responsibly.
Travel and How to Get Here
The majority of hunters fly to Vancouver International Airports (YVR) before connecting to the Island at Cassidy Airport in Nanaimo (YCD). You can also get on the Island by landing at Victoria International Airport (YYJ), or by using the BC Ferries ferry system. We will assist you in planning the final leg of your journey to camp. Hunters are responsible to getting themselves to the hunting destination unless alternative plans have been made.
