Hunting & Shooting · British Columbia
A BC hunting outfitter running guided spring bear, mule deer and cat hunts in rugged mountain country, with near-perfect reviews for hard-working guides and a welcoming, beginner-friendly approach.
Arcadia Outfitting runs guided hunts in rugged, scenic BC backcountry, and reviewers describe the terrain as beautiful and demanding in equal measure. Hunters cover a lot of ground by jeep, quad and on foot, and one alpine deer hunter came specifically for a physically tough hunt and got one.
The outfitter and his guides get consistent praise for knowing the area and animal behaviour, working long days and keeping spirits up in bad weather. Clients mention good food, comfortable accommodation and regular, flexible communication before the trip, including rescheduling around BC's wildfire seasons.
Spring bear hunts are the most reviewed, alongside mule deer in the alpine and mixed-bag cat hunts with hounds. It's especially well suited to first-timers: several reviewers were novice hunters or brought teenage children on their first guided big game hunt, and one family brought an eight-year-old along. Guides take time to teach tactics and conservation along the way.
There's almost nothing negative in the reviews. The main thing to know is that the country is steep and the days can be long, so arrive in decent shape and prepared for changeable weather.
