CARIBOU

Over the years, the area has produced some tremendous trophy caribou.  We have a healthy resident caribou herd in the southern part of the area.   Our caribou can be hunted either as an add-on to the sheep or moose hunts, or as a separate hunt throughout our season.

Our area is the heart of the wintering range of the famous Porcupine Caribou herd. These barren ground caribou migrate down from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. Through our experience in the last few years, we have enabled our hunters to witness the migration and harvest some tremendous trophy class bulls. Many of our clients feel that this is an experience of a lifetime and is an awe inspiring sight, which can be matched in very few other places in the world. It is common to see 4,000 to 5,000 caribou during a hunt. The herd has estimated numbers in excess of 120,000 and is the largest herd in the Yukon Territory.
