Yukon
The Yukon is the stuff of hunting dreams — a vast, wild territory where the mountains are bigger, the wilderness deeper, and the adventure more authentic than almost anywhere else on the continent. This is Dall sheep country, home to some of the finest mountain hunting in the world. The Ogilvie and Mackenzie Mountains produce trophy rams year after year. Massive interior grizzly bears, Alaska-Yukon moose pushing 60 inches, and mountain caribou complete a big-game lineup that reads like a hunter's bucket list. With long summer days under the midnight sun and the raw beauty of the northern landscape, the Yukon delivers an experience that goes far beyond the trophy.

About Yukon Hunting & Fishing
The Yukon occupies a legendary place in hunting literature — its mountains, rivers, and vast empty spaces have fired the imagination of outdoorsmen since the days of the Klondike gold rush. The territory's mountain game is world-renowned: Dall sheep with sweeping curls, shaggy interior grizzly bears, and mountain caribou in their high-country haunts. Alaska-Yukon moose, the largest subspecies, exceed 60 inches with regularity. The Yukon demands fitness, commitment, and investment — these are largely horse-assisted or backpack hunts in remote mountain terrain. But for the hunter who answers the call, the rewards are proportional: true wilderness, spectacular scenery, and hunting that will define a lifetime of memories.
Terrain: Dominated by mountains — the St. Elias, Ogilvie, Mackenzie, and Selwyn ranges. Alpine tundra, subalpine meadows, boreal river valleys, and the Arctic coastal plain. Home to Canada's highest peak, Mount Logan (5,959m). Territory spans 482,000 square kilometers.
