About the territory: Our 500 square mile guide territory lies in the middle of the Chilcotin Mountains and reaches into the Coastal Mountains along its southwestern border. The lowest elevation is 4348 feet with the highest elevation over 10,000 feet. The scenery in the entire area is breathtaking and awe-inspiring.

Our hunts are primarily done by horseback from cabins throughout the territory. From there we continue by horse or on foot for day hunts or overnight stays in remote spike camps. Each camp offers unique and varied terrain and wildlife.

The yearly Mule Deer migration through our territory from the Coast Mountains offers an abundance of quality bucks for trophy class hunts; the potential for taking Mountain Goat and Moose trophies is excellent. The area boasts healthy Black Bear, Timber Wolf and Lynx.

We believe a successful hunting experience includes:

• Making every effort to locate your ultimate trophy animal
• A deep respect for the animal and environment
• Healthy food that adds to your comfort and enjoyment
• Easy comradery and lasting memories

What Is Included During Your Hunt: Included in the base cost of your hunt are all meals throughout the duration of your hunt, transportation while on your hunt and all accommodations during your hunt. Meals are all-you-can-eat-home cooking and the accommodations are cabins for lodge based hunts and tent camps for wilderness based hunts.

Down Time: Caping and handling of trophies and meat is the responsibility of Taseko Lake Outfitters. Hunting time will be temporarily held while your guide prepares your trophy animal. All trophies will be prepared to transfer to the taxidermist.

Policy on Wounded Game: If an animal is shot but gets away, it is up to the guide to determine if the animal was hit hard enough to die or not. Should the wound be a fatal one, every effort must be made to find the animal. After one day of searching, if the animal has not yet been found, it is the hunter's choice whether to continue the search until the end of the hunt or to hunt a different species if another tag is in hand. The wounded animal's tag must be cancelled. Should additional help be needed to search for wounded game, it can be provided, and the location of the wounding may be returned to during other hunts in the area.

Responsibilities of the Hunter: Our Guides will be able to give you a rough estimate of the potential trophy's size. We will do our best to make sure the targeted animal is what you are looking for and is legal; the final decision, however, is yours. Be sure before you pull the trigger. If an illegal animal is shot, it must be reported. The cost of taxidermy and the shipping of trophies is the hunter's.
