We have dog handlers and two well trained Black Labrador retrievers. Jake is 3 years old and is as steady as they come. while Mojo is 1 and is still in training and comes from world class bloodlines. You are also welcome to bring your own trained dogs.

Getting to, and staying in Vanderhoof

Clients are responsible for their own transportation to and from Vanderhoof. Give us a call when you arrive and we will make arrangements to meet you the night before your hunt begins.

If you live outside the general area the best way to get to Wing & Trout Outfitters is to land in Prince George, 97 km to the east. There you will be able to pick up a rental car and take the scenic one hour drive along highway 16 to Vanderhoof. When you book your hunt we will send you a map with precise directions on how to find us.

Meals and accommodations are at the clients own expense. We are happy to recommend the North Country Inn as a great place to stay while you are in Vanderhoof.
