WHO WE ARE

Built on Experience. Operated with Intention.

Kildala Adventures is a low-volume outfitting operation built around professional standards and earned experiences.

Led by Todagin Hodson, with over two decades of guiding experience, our team brings deep familiarity with coastal and northwestern British Columbia, terrain that demands respect, patience, and sound decision-making.

We specialize in demanding hunts where success is never guaranteed and standards cannot slip.
That’s why we stay selective, honest, and deliberate in how we operate.

WHY BRITISH COLUMBIA

British Columbia offers some of the most rugged and diverse hunting environments in North America.

Steep alpine, dense coastal rainforest, remote wilderness, and volatile weather create conditions where preparation matters, decisions carry weight and experience is earned, not staged

We operate in this environment because it demands professionalism and rewards those who respect the process.

THE KILDALA EXPERIENCE

What It Means to Hunt with Kildala

Hunting with Kildala Adventures is not about guarantees or shortcuts.

It is about:

  • Clear expectations
  • Professional logistics
  • Sound decision-making
  • Mutual responsibility between guide and hunter

We plan carefully, communicate honestly, and adapt to conditions as they unfold.

Our focus is on delivering a demanding, well-executed hunt, one that leaves you stronger and more grounded than when you arrived.

We intentionally limit the number of clients we take each season so every hunt receives our full attention.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Should I Bring?

Gear! This may very well be the most discussed topic leading up to a hunt, debated over a hunt while hiking or poking the campfire (if you have the luxury of getting one), or debriefed after the hunt. You’ll talk about what you wish you had or what you wish you’d left behind. We may debate which brand is better and why, and what the pro’s and con’s of each are. However, many of you have not hunted the mountains of the west coast of British Columbia. They are steep. But the views from the top are some of the best in the world and we are blessed to hunt here.

The number one question we are asked after a hunt is booked, is what do our professionals use? Below is the most comprehensive list that we can think of, and if it’s not on this list, you don’t need it. Use this list, study it and pack accordingly. Ounces turn into pounds, and pounds just get downright heavy.

Fall goat, late season goat, ocean black bear, lodge or camp black bear, moose, blacktail, fly in trout or coastal fishing.

For a coastal black bear hunt, we will take care of all field preparation of your cape and skull. Cape will have eyes, ears, and lips turned and the hide salted and dried. Skull will be boiled and cleaned. You will need to purchase a drybag in which we can roll the cape and skull together, place in the bag and you can simply travel home with the cape and skull.

Mountain goat and moose hunts require a compulsory inspection (CI). An appointment is necessary to have the inspection completed and there is generally not time after your hunt to get this completed before you travel home (although sometimes it works out). We will generally take care of the field preparation for you, get the CI completed after your departure, and drop the skull and cape at a taxidermist for shipment preparation. You can expect about a $1200-$1400 cost for crating and shipping of your trophy to the taxidermist of your choice.

Typical gratuities are 15-20% of the cost of the hunt, depending on your experience. Please tip your guide and packer (if you have one) after the hunt. You should also tip the camp cook as well if there is one for your particular hunt. They work hard to bring you great meals every day and your tip is very much appreciated. If you feel the staff has not done a great job, please let me know so the issues can be addressed. We strive to provide you the absolute best experience and are always looking for ways to improve.
The majority of our shots are within $175 yards for any species. That being said, on occasion, and more often on the late season goat hunts, we have had shots that are as far as 500 yards. We cannot stress the importance of practice before you come and take shots from realistic field positions, not just from the bench.

We are based in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada. The nearest airport is Terrace (YXT), located 55 km away (approximately a 45-minute drive).

To reach us, you will need to fly into Terrace (YXT), where we will pick you up. From there, it’s a short drive to Kitimat, where we will have a room reserved for you at the Mstar Hotel.

If you are traveling with a rifle from the USA, we recommend allowing a minimum of 4 hours between connections to ensure smooth customs clearance. There is no need for a rental car, as we will handle all transportation upon your arrival in Terrace.

There are a couple of quality outdoor stores in town and we can track down missing items for you. We also have a stock of new items that can be purchased in case there is a last minute need and you realize you’ve forgotten an item. If you follow our GEAR LIST and check off the items as they are packed, you should be in very good condition for your hunt.

There is cell service in town and along the highway corridor. Expect to be out of service for 4-10 days, depending on the trip you have booked. If you are joining our luxury black bear ocean experience, Starlink is available on the boat and at camp, providing internet service during your stay.

We offer some of the best Mountain goat hunting in the world. If you’re only going to hunt one mountain goat in your life, why not make it an exceptional one? Other species available include Canadian moose, Coastal black bear, and Columbia blacktail deer.

Prices range depending on your adventure trip or hunt. They include your guide, a packer (if you choose), animal tag, trophy fee, food etc. For specific prices please contact us through the email form on our contact page.
