British Columbia guide outfitter Darren DeLuca, a 30-year veteran of the outfitting industry, is committed to protecting our hunting heritage using the tools of free enterprise and capitalism. “Hunters spend thousands of dollars every year traveling to Western Canada to hunt,” DeLuca says. “The Wild LP allows them to convert their hunting budget into investments in the outfitting industry.”
The Wild LP redirects your hunting expenditures into equity ownership of premier hunting concessions in Western Canada. It allows you to recover your investment by going on hunting adventures, and it underpins the long-term security of hunting by financially supporting the outfitting industry.
Protecting our hunting heritage requires new and innovative solutions. The Wild Conservation Investment Limited Partnership was created to build and strengthen the bond between hunters and the outfitting industry.
