Dean is the life of the party and will make you feel incredibly welcome in camp and is always up for a chat. He is also our resident handyman and can fix just about anything so if there is anything you need during your stay at our lodge be sure to ask him. He has extensive knowledge on all things hunting and has run several outfits in Northern & Southern BC and provides a wealth of hands-on experience when it comes to logistics and day-to-day running of the business.
Katie is an organizational mastermind and runs all the behind the scenes at our lodge! She is incredibly positive and uplifting and always working to ensure you have the best experience with us possible. She loves to chat, however (as you will see) she works tirelessly to organize and send out food and gear for hunts, cook and clean along with the million other tasks involved in a hunting operation so if she isn’t able to chat for long we hope you understand.
You will see the value they bring to the team… As most of the clients say “They are the best”.
Colbie Coglon
(LOGISTICS / OPERATIONS)
Colbie was born in east central Alberta near Bonnyville where he still lives today. Together with his wife Jaynell and 2 kids they operate a pure bred red angus cattle operation. Colbie began hunting and fishing at a young age. Starting with waterfowl and progressing to whitetail then to big game. As he got older the trips got longer and more adventurous until the ultimate adventure was calling… the Yukon. In 2012 he started his guiding career and hasn’t looked back. Refining his trade he acquired skills to become a top hand. He is now a farrier, horse trainer and bush pilot. What started out as a passion for the adventure of the backcountry has progressed now into a love for the outfitting industry and being a part of delivering the highest quality hunting adventures possible. Helping people realize their hunting dreams and unplug from this crazy world in the Yukon backcountry is what it’s all about. Wild times in wild places!
Colbie adds a ton of experience to the team and will assist Dustin with all the day-to-day working around the business year round, from Tradeshows, Booking and communications with clients, Managing crews and horses, as well as Flying just name a few of the lengthy list of tasks on his plate.
