Full description and what we offer
Wildlife Adventures operates Cougar Creek Lodge in the Cariboo Region of British Columbia, Canada, specializing in fully guided combo hunts for moose, black bear, mule deer, cougar, lynx, and wolf. The operation spans over 2.4 million acres of prime hunting territory in Game Management Unit 5, located approximately 150 miles south of Prince George near Williams Lake.

- •Moose: Mature bulls from 36" to 50"+, with record-book quality common
- •Black Bear: Bears squaring 5.5 to 6.5 feet standard; some over 7 feet. BC has an estimated 150,000 bear population—more than Alaska
- •Mule Deer: Bucks with spreads over 30", with B&C scores exceeding 200
- •Cougar: Record scores of 15 3/4" on Boone & Crockett scale; world record killed adjacent to their territory
- •Lynx & Wolf: Available as add-on tags during hunts

All hunt packages include professional guide, meals prepared by lodge chef, lodging at Cougar Creek Lodge, equipment, and game/trophy care assistance. No trophy fees.
Hunts are conducted from crew-cab 4x4 pickups and side-by-sides, covering logging roads and clear-cuts across the territory. For cougar hunts specifically, guides use GPS-collared dogs to track and tree cats, then hunt them from snowmobiles in winter. Baiting is not permitted.
Terrain is relatively easy to moderate—located in the Fraser River Valley at approximately 2,000 feet elevation with rolling hills, clear-cuts, and some swampy areas.
