This big bull pushed out a little bull just to get after some hot 2 legged cow (me). Luckily for me, he presented a 30y shot and I managed to squeak an arrow through the brush into his vitals.

2021 Bill-Tron9000 (AKA Bill Murray)

The entire valley was snow covered. I was wearing a white Tyvek suit, with my rifle held behind my back to conceal it every time I stepped from behind the trees. I had to carry this guy out solo, it was quite interesting.

2022 Bill-Tron9000 (AKA Bilbo Baggins)

Crampons, ice axes, ropes, and harnesses- I had never thought those words were going to be in my “Hunting” vocabulary until I began chasing long haired goats in late fall. My pal and I had an incredible fun time hunting this handsome man.

In early 2021, I booked a management cougar hunt with my friend Ben Stourac of Arcadia Outfitting because I wanted to do my part for conservation along the Fraser River given the M.ovi issues they are contending with. My good friend Nolan Osborne tagged along for the adventure where, thanks to some awesome hounds, I was able to harvest this beautiful female in prime sheep and deer winter range. – Peter Gutsche (WSSBC Director) Spring Bear is one of my favourite hunts every year. Whether hunting coastal estuaries, interior cut blocks, or high alpine bowls, there are usually plenty of bears to be found and great memories to share with friends. Last spring I took this young boar with a classic pre-64 Model 70 in 270 win, and two great friends.
