He has recently passed the reins down to his son, Garrett, but still enjoys sharing his extensive expertise, guiding skills, and infamous stories with clients. Al was a fish and wildlife officer for 17 years before finding his niche as a guide outfitter in the Chilcotin. He fell in love with the wild Chilcotin and met his lovely wife Bev who taught him the lifestyle of a rancher while they shared their love for the outdoors. “I love my job, meeting new people and being able to work and live in the wilderness, it just cant get any better than this”. |
