Hunt for Yukon Moose

Our partners in the Yukon can offer hunting in one of the largest hunting district in all of the Yukon territory. The district lies in the central part of the Yukon, east of the town of Whitehorse, and stretches over 5.6 million hectares of absolute wilderness.

The hunting camps here are located in the heart of this huge hunting district and are only accessible by air or on horseback. Much of the hunting district has never been disturbed by a human footprint, which means the landscape, the game and its genetic composition are totally pristine.

The population of moose here is incredibly dense, estimated to be 3 times higher than seen anywhere else in North America. It is estimated that there are up to 10,000 individuals resident in this district and there are more than 100 different different locations where our outfitter can position our hunters.  The trophies of Alaska/Yukon Moose are the largest of any moose species and the average trophy size of bulls taken here lies around an impressive 60”. However, every season bulls of up to 70” are also taken.

Hunting Period:

September-October

The hunting is very varied, often horses are used to transport our hunters around the district, but boats are also used on the rivers and lakes while the use of Argo atvs can make for very effective hunting. Our outfitters prefer to place hunters in the camps which they believe will give the best chance of success at the current time, so one must be prepared to use different methods of transport during the hunt and have a flexible attitude.

As much of the district is mountainous, hunters should be physically fit to get the best out of the hunt. During the spring it is possible to hunt for grizzly bear, while during the autumn you can hunt for sheep, moose, caribou, grizzly bear, black bear and wolf. There is also plenty of good fishing in the district, if you have the time you can catch trout, grayling and pike in the many beautiful rivers and lakes.
