Why Choose Milligan Outfitting for Your British Columbia Hunt?
Experience That Translates into Success
We’ve spent decades perfecting the art of hunting in British Columbia’s rugged wilderness. With roots deeply planted in the area, our team knows where and when to find game—and how to help clients of all experience levels achieve their goals.
Here’s the deal: When you hunt with Milligan Outfitting, you’re not just getting a guide—you’re getting a mentor, a tracker, a safety expert, and a local partner who’s as invested in your experience as you are.
High Trophy Quality Game, Year After Year
Not all guided hunts are created equal. Trophy quality matters—whether it’s the mass of a moose’s antlers, the hide of a black bear, or the majestic curl of a mountain goat’s horns. We carefully manage our territories to maintain healthy game populations and produce exceptional trophies.
Key Advantages:
- Low hunting pressure over vast tracts of land
- Experienced guides trained in judging game quality
- Strategic scheduling to hit peak rut and feeding times
British Columbia: A Hunter’s Paradise
British Columbia is a mosaic of ecosystems—from coastal forests to alpine peaks and glacial-fed rivers. That’s why it offers diverse game species and world-class hunting conditions all in one place.
You can expect:
- Remote and scenic locations
- Abundant populations of black bear, moose, and mountain goat
- High odds of success for both rifle and archery hunters
Our Specialty Hunts: From Black Bears to Goats to Moose
Bear Hunts in British Columbia
Spring and fall black bear hunts are among our most popular offerings. With BC’s thriving bear population, you can expect to see multiple mature boars in a single hunt.
What to Expect on Your Bear Hunt:
- Spot-and-stalk style hunting
- Comfortable lodging and hearty meals
- Opportunities to harvest color-phase bears
Bonus: Black bear meat is lean, healthy, and delicious—and the hide makes for an incredible trophy or rug.
Mountain Goat Hunts
Mountain goat hunts are a physical and mental challenge—perfect for hunters looking for a true backcountry experience. Our goat territory includes steep ridges and alpine basins where big billies roam.
Key Mountain Goat Hunt Details:
- High success rates on mature goats with 10”+ horns
- Backpack-style hunts with experienced alpine guides
- Limited tags for a premium, uncrowded experience
We recommend that hunters be in good physical condition and ready for an exhilarating, unforgettable journey.
Moose Hunts: The Giants of the North
British Columbia’s moose hunts offer a shot at truly massive bulls—some weighing over 1,000 pounds and sporting antlers over 50 inches wide.
What Sets Our Moose Hunts Apart:
- Calling bulls during the rut for close-range encounters
- Remote fly-in or boat-access camps
- Combination hunts available (moose + bear or goat)
Our knowledge of seasonal moose movement, calling techniques, and terrain gives our clients an edge few others can match.
Fishing and Wilderness Adventures: More Than Just Hunting
Trophy Fishing Opportunities
While most clients come for the hunting, they often stay (or come back) for the incredible fishing. British Columbia’s rivers and lakes are teeming with:
- Salmon (Chinook, Coho, Sockeye)
- Steelhead and Rainbow Trout
- Lake Char and Dolly Varden
You can easily tack on a fishing day to your hunting trip—or book a summer expedition just for angling.
Non-Hunting Activities
Traveling with a spouse or looking for a mix of experiences? We offer guided adventures for:
- Wildlife photography
- Hiking and alpine trekking
- Eco tours and cultural outings
This isn’t just about tags and trophies—it’s about making memories in some of Canada’s wildest landscapes.
