Hello all,
I just finished hunting Bison in 7-57 A. Beautiful country. No luck for us on this hunt.
The biggest issue was information, or the lack of.
Well I hope to help with that problem.
The hunt access route is on Mile 147 Road, off of hwy BC-97.
You travel Mile 147 Road till you get to the Blueberry Ranch.
There you will meet Vern. Call first as he is busy, (250) 261-3572. He is very helpful.
Blueberry Ranch does have an access fee.
There is cell service at Blueberry Ranch.
Blueberry Ranch do have cabins for rent or camp for free.
The log cabins are warm and wood supplied.
The cabins are basic with beds, solar lights, wood burning heat, propane stove, table, and chairs.
Bring fuel, water, axe, generator, food, bed roll, chairs, pots and pans, knifes and forks, TP for the outhouse, and other necessities.
The access route into the protected area is restricted with one road, weight restriction of 750 kgs, and only 400 meters off the route with a vehicle. Getting maps with this information is difficult but they are out there. The signs that were once posted are gone except for one at the very end that doesn’t say end of trail. Confusing! If you are beyond the limits CO’s will fine you and fly your vehicle out at your expense.
Snow machines and horses are allowed everywhere.
The weather can get deadly fast so be prepared.
FYI the bison stay away from vehicle noise. Plan on walking. Have a GPS. Cell service is very spotty in the hunting area so bring some sort of satilite communication for emergencies. Always check weather reports.
We seen lots of wolves. Plus many grizzly tracks on the route.
Good luck on your hunt. It will be hard fun!!!
We are stronger together
you don't really know what you are talking about. First off its dry weight of the machine. Secondly they have upped the KG limit and tightened the distance from trail you are allowed to go...
There is a bit of the zone that is not in the MKMA, if you are hunting the early part of the season there, that is where I would focus on personally. I do have maps of zone A for sale if anyone is in need.

because it's there Hilary
If you don't have a great camp set up, rent a Cabin from Vern its worth every penny, leave the ranch an hour before daylight comeback an hour after sunset. Glass glass Glass, hike in locate sign find out which way there travelling, head out and glass some more to locate a herd. Don't over think your stalk( as we did our first time ). Get close pick your animal based on your man power. We went in last year got 2 bison and a wolf, between the Ranch and Horse camp. . They are wild and the herd has many eyes. be prepared to pack your bison off the mountain.
It was December Real Cold we used sleds make sure you have scratchers, an extra set would be a good Idea!!!! Because they break.
