Any pack horse hunter here
Hey guys. I'm slowly transitioning to pack horse hunting. Having a huge passion for hunting and horses it makes sense to combine the two.
Question is is there any pack horse guys here who would be interested in a hunt in the future.
Everybody I hunt with have no interest in horses.
Thanks

Where are you located? and what do you have for horses and gear?

I'm in Squamish for now but moving to the cariboo in spring.
No horse at the moment to expensive to keep them here so waiting until we move.
Got a pack saddle and panniers and just bought a horse trailer.

You will need at least 3 horse minimum to make it worthwhile.

Just bought my first horse on my way to more. I have done a couple trips. Lots of fun, but lots of work and not just as simple as walking in and being sneaky.
You're doing it in the reverse order that I am. I got the horse, now need #2, then the rest of the gear, then the trailer.

If cost isn't a factor go for it. however the additional costs of Vets, equipment upkeep, Hay and feed, a quad or a new pair of boots every year is a lot cheaper, i have done 2 trips with horses and worked for an outfitter last year. Lot of work especially in camp.

Hardest part is finding the right horses. Horses that are used to all that you will encounter on your hunt. I would recommend a packhorse clinic before you attempt to go on what could be your own worst nightmare.
