Traditional Predator Hunting Done Right

Experience classic winter predator hunting in British Columbia with Peasley Hunts. These fully guided hunts are built around experienced hounds, ethical decision-making, and active participation from start to finish. Snow conditions during late fall and winter allow guides to identify quality tracks, make informed calls, and run predators the way it’s been done for generations.

This is not a stand-around hunt. You’ll be involved in every phase — cutting tracks, staying with the dogs during the chase, and executing a safe, ethical harvest once the animal is treed.

How the Hunt Works

Each day starts early, typically between 5:30–6:00 AM, as guides scout roads, trails, and travel corridors for fresh tracks.

• Hounds are transported by truck until a track is located
• Once a quality track is confirmed, dogs are released
• Hounds follow scent, pressure the animal, and tree it
• Hunters and guides pursue the chase together
• When treed, guides position hunters for a controlled, ethical shot
• Multiple strains of hound dogs are used depending on species, track conditions, and terrain.
