cougar outfitters in BC

[monasheemountainman]

Are there any deals for resident hunters out there? anyone know of any outfits that offer cheaper prices to residents, or does it still come out of their allocations? I have no idea how it works.

Thanks

Cougars aren't Category A allocated species.

cool good to know, so it would probably be the same price then for residents I guess. Thanks FD

Haven't found any deals myself, but I have only asked a couple outfitters. Hoping to befriend someone with hounds one of these days.

haven't found any resident deals in BC myself either but have seen a handful of great deals get sold on the FB Alberta groups (one was 3500cad just before Christmas but only for AB residents)....so for now I keep buying my tag and hope I get shit lucky while hiking or fishing lol

maybe stay on top of the fb groups if you are looking for a deal, they go quick

I've always liked Chilcotin Hillbilly as far as his HBC personality goes. He handles himself with class even when the mud is flying in his direction for being an outfitter.

If I was going to do a cougar hunt I would definitely reach out to him.

Whether or not there should be a discount for resident hunters is a tough one. As a resident, I can hunt cougars on my own, I just won't probably kill one. For increasing the odds by using a qualified guide and trained dogs, I feel like I should pay a pretty close approximation of the price that a German or Yank would pay, less some premium for the fact that I can buy my own tag.
