One Sunday a Minister faked an illness so he could go deer hunting. That morning he shot a fantastic 14-point buck! Saint Peter looked down from Heaven and said to God, “You aren’t going to let him bag a prize like that are you?” “Why not?” God replied. “Who’s he going to tell?”

Hello all, I am an Alberta resident and like many, being able to hunt caribou is at the top of my bucket list. I am a younger hunter and have been hunting for a few years and i ultimately would love to get out and get a few of my bucket list hunts done before i start having kids and what not, while i still have the time to do so. I am just hoping to pick some of your brains about tag availability in northern BC. i am under the influence that a non-resident may hunt big game either through an outfitter or a resident who holds an accompany to hunt permit. Seeing that i don't really have the means to hire an outfitter to take me hunting, and i have some friends and family in BC, i would be trying to go through a hunter host. I have been trying to do some research on google but i can't really seem to find any info on how to go through the steps to actually get my hands on a tag. I am not looking to do this hunt in 2017 but i am just looking for some info for when i do plan this hunt in the future.

What is the tag availability? Is it a draw system? How does the draw system work? How does the limited entry licences work?

i know that it is a pretty vague request, but any information you would be able to give me it would be awesome. And i will be honest, i have know idea how the regulation/tag system in BC works. Thanks.
