This area includes approximately 3600 square miles of hunting territory and includes management units 720, 721, 722, 732, and 733. This is the key to their success rate and the harvesting of exceptional trophies year after year. With this much country available they are able to use strict management plans that will ensure this area is not over hunted. The terrain varies greatly from high glacial mountains, valleys and river systems down to the foothills and farmland which is conducive in growing outstanding animals.

The trophy quality whitetails Gary has been producing the last several years is absolutely amazing. Alberta and Saskatchewan have great reputations for trophy whitetails, but Gary’s northern BC area has outdistanced practically every other outfitter from the other two trophy whitetail provinces of Canada. The photo you see here is of a huge buck, and frankly they are commonly taken with Gary Drinkall. This is a fantastic opportunity.
Gary grew up in the outfitting business starting from a young age, when his family purchased a Stone sheep area back in 1982. He worked for the family owned outfitting business and other outfitters from around the country from his early teens untill his mid 20’s, when he purchased his own outfitting business in Alberta. Gary later sold his areas in Alberta and moved with his family and wife Monique to the Lone Prairie Valley near Chetwynd to continue in the cattle ranching industry. It was not long before the outfitting bug caught up with him and when the opportunity arose to guide and outfit in British Columbia, he took it starting Tracks B.C. and took over High Prairie Outfitters with his partner Blaine Trenholm.
