Hello there,
I've read the forum for a while but this is my first post. Like most of you, I am a lifelong and enthusiastic hunter. Like all of you, I dream of the outdoors and never wear out of talking about it.
I am 39 years old and in good shape. I don't drink/smoke/do drugs in hunting camp. The latter two I just don't do. I am not religious, but don't mind listening to someone who is. I am married, and have two very young children < 3 years old.
I have worked as an assistant guide for caribou, moose and dall sheep. I have also hunted myself for caribou, moose and black bear. I own some excellent equipment, wall tent, optics, etc.
I am looking for hunting partner who is willing to hold a Permit to Accompany for me because I am a Non Resident of BC. I am not looking to be a "client" in any way and I am not looking for a guide but I am willing to pay for transport services on a drop hunt.
My goal would be to do a hunt for a bighorn sheep.
I would be pleased to speak or meet if anyone is interested. I'll be in Vancouver at the end of Feb for 3 days on business and for the olympics so would be great to grab a beer and meet. I would be interested to talk about a spring black bear or another type of fall hunt if we wanted to kick the tires before we tried a bighorn. I'm pretty open to any suggestions.
Below are the specifics as they appear re Permit to Accompany in the regs in case you are interested.
Good hunting and thanks,
Dan
