Dunedin River Outfitters

Dunedin is a family oriented outfitter business located in Northern British Columbia. We use our skills to provide the best possible service to our clients, as well as focus on the quality of hunts, rather than a large quantity of hunters. We support wildlife conservation efforts through the Guide Outfitters Association of British Columbia.

Morgan Sheppard is the General Manager and licensed British Columbia Guide of Dunedin River Outfitters. A Fort Nelson resident, who is originally from Newfoundland, he is passionate about hunting and fishing. A big game hunter with numerous successful hunts, Morgan is an outdoorsman with 20+ years backcountry experience.

Costs

The base cost includes:

- Round trip transportation from Fort Nelson to the main lodge, and outpost camps.

- Food, accommodation and guide services.

- Field care of meat, field-caping and pre-preparation of trophies.

- Royalties on game taken.

When it comes to big game Dunedin offers our clients a variety of hunting styles: horseback, 4x4, ATV or Argo and river boat. Each style allows itself plenty of time to spot and stalk.

Horseback

This style is very popular at Dunedin, hunting on horses allows the hunter to cover more area with relative ease. The horse does most the work while the hunter preserves energy. No need to be a skilled rider, if a hunter can sit firmly in the saddle, the horse does the rest. We will teach you what is necessary to know.

4x4, ATV or Argo

These hunts are intended for individuals who prefer to hunt with relative ease and cover lots of ground in a day. Hunts are restricted to water holes, trails and old logging roads. Walking distance is contingent on the individual`s physical condition. These hunts are based out of the main lodge unless otherwise specified.

River Boat

This hunting style is an easy way to go. Boat hunts are for those that prefer a less strenuous hunt, and gives plenty of time to glass and take pictures. Depending on the season, distance and weather, overnight camping might be required at times.
