EP21: Findlay Creek Outfitters (Outfitter Spotlight)

<p>Lee Drescher didn&#39;t grow up hunting. His passion for the backcountry started after his father fell ill, and within a few years he had gone from watching Meat Eater videos in his living room to purchasing one of British Columbia&#39;s most remote guiding territories. Findlay Creek Outfitters operates 220,000 acres entirely within the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy, protected since 1974, with no motor vehicle access whatsoever. The only way in is horseback or boot leather.</p><p>In this episode, Robbie sits down with Lee to talk elk, moose, mountain goat, and mule deer hunting in the East Kootenays, what it actually feels like to be dropped into nearly a thousand square kilometers of backcountry with no one else around for forty kilometers in any direction, and the story of his very first guided hunt: a six point bull at fifteen yards, called in on the last day, shared with a client from Idaho who later mailed Lee a laser engraved skinning knife with his name and the words Lee Drescher Outfitter.</p><p><br></p><p>Let&#39;s Go Guided:</p><p>Website + email signup: letsgoguided.com</p><p>Instagram: @letsgoguided_</p><p>Facebook: Let&#39;s Go Guided</p><p><br></p><p>Findlay Creek Outfitters:</p><p>🌐 findlaycreekoutfitters.com</p><p>📧 <a href="mailto:lee@findlaycreekoutfitters.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">lee@findlaycreekoutfitters.com</a></p><p>📸@findlaycreekoutfitters</p><p><br></p><p>Photography credit: Courtesy of Findlay Creek Outfitters</p>
