WORLD-FAMOUS HUNTS IN THE PRISTINE NORTHERN WILDExperience real hunting in Canada’s last real wilderness – the untamed Northwest Territories. Choose from an exciting variety of species and hunting packages.

Hike or ride horseback in the rugged Mackenzie Mountains to stalk Alpine

sheep, goats, mountain caribou and super-sized moose. Travel the High

Arctic by dog team in search of every big game hunter’s ultimate trophy, the

lordly polar bear. Or head out by snow machine in search of the majestic

muskox. Grizzly bears, wolves and wolverine can also be hunted in certain

areas of the Northwest Territories.

Check out our northern outfitters, world hunting experts who’ll take you on a hunt of a lifetime.

The largest land carnivore, the polar bear, prowls along the northern ocean.

The chance to hunt this predator tops the list of many big game hunters.

It’s a true Arctic experience. Travel is by dogsled on land and sea ice.

Trips can last up to two weeks as you camp with Inuvialuit guides. In spring

the muskox hunt is in full gear. Hunters travel by snowmobile, boat or all-

terrain vehicle to locate the quarry. Bands of Muskox are then stalked on

foot, in the company of your experienced guide.

The forbidding region far north of the Arctic Circle offers some of the world’s most spectacular hunting experiences.

These snow-white monarchs of the peaks can spot you a long way off,

and will take advantage of their speed and sure-footedness to find haven

out of range. Alpine hunting adventures begin in late summer with a bush

plane flight from Norman Wells or Fort Simpson into your well-equipped,

comfortable base camp in the pristine, uninhabited foothills. You’ll head

up to sheep country on foot or horseback, guided by your experienced

outfitters. The Mackenzie Mountains are also home to mountain caribou

and moose, which provide additional challenges to intrepid hunters.

Quick moving Dall’s sheep and elusive mountain goats offer a great hunting challenge.

Wolf, wolverine and muskox in the northern sections, are some animals

hunted on the barrens. Barrenground caribou also range across the barrens,

but barrenground caribou hunting has been discontinued, due to declines

in herd populations. The situation is being monitored by the Government of

the Northwest Territories who will advise when and if barrenground caribou

hunting can be offered to resident and non resident hunters.

The rolling, wide-open barrenlands are a riot of colour in late summer.
