Hi I'm Ryan, owner and operator of BC WILDCOUNTRY Outfitters. As a child growing up in Northern BC, I was always drawn to the outdoors. My dad was my first guide and hunting partner. I had the opportunity to hunt big game by his side at the age of 9, shooting my first mule deer at the age of 10 and my first moose at age 11. I have since hunted and harvested stoned sheep, mountain goat, elk, caribou, black bear, grizzly, buffalo, white tail deer, and wolf. In 1997 my dad and I became partners on a trapline, feeding my passion for the outdoors throughout the long winter months!
My guiding career began in 1998 in Central BC. On my very first day my client successfully harvested his first moose; it was then that I realized my dream of someday owning my own area. In 2004, I married my love and life partner, Jessica. We have since expanded our family with our six children; Caleb, Aly, Maddy, Belle, Gabe, and Katie-Ray. In 2011, I broadened my guiding portfolio to include Northern hunting experiences to successfully guide clients through the challenges of a more rugged and remote territory.
I am excited to continue evolving my dream and enter the next step as a guide outfitter.
