I only recently found this forum, hence the first post....
I never ran into Leif in the field. I ran into him in the Toad River lodge. He asked us how we were making out bear hunting. We told him we got a bear, he asked if it was a black bear. We told him it was a grizzly and we had gotten it behind Drinkall's ranch down near the Racing. He turned his back and never said another word.
This was odd because he had been very pleasant until this point, hell I even had a beer with him at his house while talking about sheep hunting.
Whew am I glad this wasn't a ghey forum with a title like that
to understand the trouble stan is having look up the wildlife act and find what the act says about who can provide services to resident huntersl. you will find that only g/o's, chartered aircraft compainies, and licensed transporters can provide services in the field to resident hunters.

not sure what the answer is but i think the fact that he trails horses into tuchodi lakes and rents them to hunters that fly to that destination is creating the uncertainity. there is also the question of requiring a park use permit. if he rented you horses in vancouver and you hauled them to fort nelson and trailed into the tuchodi yourself them returned the horses to vancouver i would imagine that would be viewed differently. not sure what all the problems he had this fall first details i heard were on this thread.
It sounds to me as though Tuchodi is even busier than the Bull River in the EK during the season?
"If you want to hunt beasts you don't see every day,
You have to go places quite out-of-the-way.
You have to go places no others can get to,
You have to get cold and you have to get wet, too."

Any reputable Kluachesi Lake horse packers these days?
