Gunson Guiding & Outfitting
Our Guide-Outfitter Territory is 2000 sq miles of virtually inaccessible wilderness located in the far north of British Columbia. Our area includes the north slopes of the Rocky Mountains, stretches across the Liard River, and then north to the Yukon border. The terrain is incredibly varied, offering everything from the alpine meadows of the Rocky Mountains, to the lakes, rivers and vast forests of the Liard Plateau. This diverse habitat provides a home for some exceptional wildlife including Stone Sheep, Canadian Moose, Mountain Caribou, Mountain Goat, Elk, Grizzly, Black bear and Wolf.
GGO is owned and operated by Jake and Cecilia Gunson. Jake grew up with horses, and has hunting in his blood. He has over 20 years of experience guiding in Manitoba, Alberta, B.C., the Yukon, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories. While growing up in the Northwest Territories, Cecilia spent her time hunting, fishing and camping with her family.
We first established GGO as an archery-only whitetail outfit in 2001. After several years of operating in Manitoba, we sold our whitetail allocation and moved on to pursue other opportunities; Jake as an Environmental Scientist, Cecilia as an Occupational Therapist.
Now, we have a young family and have decided it is time to get back to the life we love. We have purchased a fabulous Guide-Outfitting Territory in northern BC and hope that you will be able to join us.
In 2017, GGO decided to try something new: Spring Black Bear hunts. Jake has hunted/guided most species across western Canada, but had never really done spring bear hunts. We found a fabulous area that was operating ‘under the radar’ with a core group of repeat clients, who returned year, after year, after year. That told us about all we needed to know. We have been and are still working very closely with the former Outfitter, to learn as much as we can about his obviously successful operation.
