    Re: Wish List !

    Always good to have goals, giv 'er.

    I'd say start with goat. Lots of GOS opportunities and some good odds LEH's. You can do it on your own and getting goat info out of HBCers isn't that hard!!!

    I did some backpack goat hunts a few years back while I was in my mid - late 40's in the East Koots. A couple with my best friend and a couple solo hunts.
    I trained very hard for them for months and months before the trip yet never felt like I was in good enough shape after a hunt. But those years were the best years of my life health wise as I was fit, focused and goal oriented.

    IMHO, goat hunts are very hard on the body and it takes allot of mental toughness/stubborness whatever you want to call it to climb those mountains day after day after day. But it is all worth it and without a doubt the most rewarding hunts I've ever been on.


    If my last goat hunt just so happened to be the last hunt I ever went on, I would of been a good way to end it (and I never even got a goat).

    Its one thing to hunt and kill, its another completely to practice catch and release
    Anyone can go to the island and try to find a big Roosi and take pictures, the experience of the hunt would still be real

    A good friend shot a toad of a bighorn by hiking in Simpson to Assiniboine, always wanted to re-enact that hunt

    Is there such a thing as the BC Grand Slam? Or BC 7 (like the African 5)

    Black bear
    grizzly
    moose
    elk
    caribou
    sheep
    Goat

    plus the deers maybe?

    Happy to help! I agree if sheep and goats are on your list, I’d start there. The physical demands of those hunts will not get any easier. Good luck in your quest!
    If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?

    No grizzly hunt in BC anymore. I think there’s GOS for all big game species in BC, although LEH definitely makes some of them easier. And I’m not sure about Roosevelt elk. What sub species of elk are on the charlottes?
    Just go hunting and have fun. I’d still like to get a caribou, but with my knees and beer gut being the way they are I don’t know if that ever happen……

    There is the "Super Ten" of North America. Need goat, sheep, pronhorn, elk, moose, bear, cougar, bison, deer, caribou. Some variations in there but this is what it would look like for BC. All doable in BC with the exception of pronghorn which can be taken in AB.
