Canada’s vast wildernesses are a haven for North American big game. Yukon and British Columbia in particular offer remote mountain and boreal forest hunts where hunters may not see another human for days. Outfitters provide float‑plane or horseback access to game‑rich areas, and success rates are high for those prepared for inclement weather and rugged terrain.
From northern tundra to coastal rainforests, Canada’s landscapes host nearly every North American big game species.
Yukon Outfitters in the Yukon operate in roadless wilderness accessible by float plane or boat. Moose, mountain caribou, Dall sheep and mountain goats are common trophies. Moose hunts run early August through late October with nearly 100 % opportunity; caribou hunts August through September; goat hunts early August to early September.
British Columbia The Coast Mountains and Northern Rockies support grizzly bear, black bear, mountain goat, stone sheep and mountain caribou. Hunts are conducted on horseback or by boat, with comfortable cabins or tents.
Alberta & Saskatchewan Prairie and boreal forest hunts for whitetail deer, elk and black bear are often combined with waterfowl shoots.
Northern Territories Rugged tundra regions offer muskox and barren‑ground caribou hunts along with world‑class northern lights viewing.
