About Our Hunting and Fishing Trips

Hunting Trips

Flathead Wilderness Adventures LTD was established in 1998 and operates within the Southeast corner of British Columbia, just north of the Montana border and one hour west of the BC/Alberta border. Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the Kootenay region is renowned for its high concentration and diversity of big game species, making it one of North America’s premier hunting destinations.

Our base camp is located in the remote Wigwam drainage, with additional spike camps ranging from a 1.5-hour to a 5-hour ride. Every hunting package includes accommodations, meals, trophy preparation, transportation during the hunt, and a professional licensed guide. As a family-owned operation, our commitment is to provide an enjoyable and authentic wilderness hunting experience.
