After a successful and fun hunt last year, ( A big thanks to Colin, Grizz59) I’m excited to just be days away from our yearly hunt! Excited is an understatement!

Were looking for someone in the Hudson Hope area that would have a safe spot to drop our Quad and generator for 2-3 days while we take a short boat trip. In thanks, we have a tasty costal appreciation gift for helping us out. Were also looking for potential cooler storage options in the Hudson Hope and Fort St. John area, I’m sure cooler storage is in high demand although having some options would be great. I'll be checking the posts to try and find some cooler storage options. If anyone has any options a PM would be greatly appreciated!


Thank you!

We are also planning to do a river float for 2-3 days on the Prophet River if river levels are ok so if there is anyone between the Prophet and Fort Nelson that would be able to help out with safe drop for our quad it would be amazing. Thanks!

Haven’t found anywhere to drop the quad yet for a couple days? I guess I should be asking if anyone wants to ride it for a couple days! :-)

The Shop Easy in town will probably have room, the ony issue might be their hours; open till 6pm and closed Sunday.

Good to hear from you Grizz! Can't tell you how much we enjoyed the moose! Especially the pepperoni. We’ve added an extra fuel tank for the truck and an extra tidy tank so were not packing diesel cans anymore! You sure saved our hid last year.

This year we decided to add 1-2 river floats so were hauling a boat and quad, it’s almost getting to be more that we can haul, although it’s good incentive to work for a newer truck and a dream toy hauler.

I’ll be sure to let you know how things go and good luck for your hunt. You got a beauty last year!
