Meet the Outfitter

Brant Chutter was born & raised on a cattle ranch in British Columbia, hunting and working with horses and hounds have been pillars of my life from a very young age. After having guided hunters in BC, AB, NWT, and Mexico over the past 12+ years in the guide/outfitting industry, my goal is to combine the best parts of what I have learned & seen in the industry, and bring that to my outfit and more importantly, to my clients experience.

Rival Guides

RO guides bring a passion for hunting and a desire for success that creates a culture of going above and beyond for our clients. Our circle of guides are experienced and dedicated to the craft of hunting. No matter the many uncontrollable factors involved in hunting, our guides bring a positive attitude and persistent, experience-based work ethic. For Rival Guides, this job is not their hobby, hunting is their life and livelihood.

Our Hunting Area

In the heart of southern British Columbia, our 3000 sq km outfitting territory along the Kettle River and encompassing the entire Christian Valley is a stunning expanse of rugged wilderness in the Boundary Country, nestled in the southern Okanagan region, with our southern edge being the U.S./Washington border. This landscape features rolling plateaus, open Ponderosa pine forests, and lush winter-range river valleys carved by the Kettle River, with the Monashee Mountains providing a dramatic backdrop with ample access throughout the area by truck, ATV, Snowmachine, or good old fashion hiking. 

The climate typically consists of hot summers with mild winters in the southern portion of the area, however winters in the northern portion are long with consistent snow with cooler temperatures. This wide range of climate and habitat provides a diverse range of wildlife and offers breathtaking vistas, making it a hunter’s paradise.

Let's Talk About Your Next Hunt

  • "If you’re looking for a hunt in British Columbia and you’ve found Brant with Rival Outfitting you no longer have to wonder who you should book your hunt with. Brant is one of the most capable and experienced guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of hunting with. Rest assured he and his team of professional guides will do everything possible to provide his hunters with a safe, successful and organized trip that will not be forgotten. I myself have been a hunting guide and outfitter for the majority of my adult life and my compliments are not easily attained. I am headed back this winter for my 4th trip with Brant and each adventure has been nothing short of incredible. If you’re fortunate enough to find availability in his schedule I would not hesitate to book the hunt and enjoy everything Rival Outfitting has to offer."

  • "I just want to thank you for my great hunt I had with you Januray 2025. I never hunted Cougar and Bobcat before and it was a great experince. All works 5 star plus, your equipment is very good, your dogs worked perfect during our hunt and when we came back from the hunt we had wonderful accommodations and very good food."

  • "Outfitters possessing the ability to offer clients Shiras Moose, multi-species cat and bear hunts are a rarity unto themselves. Success with one let alone multiple animals on such a hunt only comes when experience and true capability get properly paired with drive and a bit of luck. Brant & Quinn Chutter of Rival Outfittting, own and run a truly world class operation. I had the hunt of a lifetime with them as my guides and hosts. I’m already planning a return hunt - but not because of a lack of success!! Don’t miss out on an experience that will have you wanting more."

  • "It was such a totally awesome time, and so much happened that I don’t even know where to begin. I mean, I would damn near have to write a book! It was one of the best hunting experiences of my life, for sure, 100%. The lodge, the cooking, the family-like relationship—it was just unbelievable. The food was some of the best I’ve ever eaten in my life, for sure. It was a tough hunt, but every single day we were totally like, “We’re going to make it happen today,” all the way to the end. The old adage, “Every time you look for something, it’s in the last place you look,” holds true, but if you don’t look long enough or hard enough, you won’t find it, especially if you’re a hunter. It takes hard work and dedication to truly find your dreams, and sometimes the help of a good guide. I guess, to sum it all up, Rival Outfitters is 100% top-notch people with a great operation. Anyone who hunts there is very fortunate. I can’t wait to return!"
