Moose and grizzly combo Yukon

[Mr Conservation]

The Yukon !!

Big moose and a dall sheep.

Saw some really big moose when I lived up there in the early 90's, but never got a chance to hunt them. The one moose hunt I was on, someone from another group harvested a moose as we were moving in on it :sign0176:

Did go on a fly in caribou hunt for a week. We only got one caribou amongst the four of us, and only saw one other that merited consideration. Great lake trout fishing from shore right off the camp !!

Always been Yukon Moose and a Dall Sheep. The more i read about NZ hunts and the unique animals they have there, the more i would add that to the list as well.

[35 whelen]

Another vote for a Yukon Grizzly hunt. But I would want to go with my son and have one of 2 friends guide me. Either Don Lind or Randy Kuntz( AKA: huntingstuff).

[dumoulin]

A moose hunt up north or in the YK with my son and late father.

[ForwardBias]

Alberta Grizzly would be prime. Turkey hunting in the states looks like fun as well.

[Hunter1602]

Not necessarily a hunt.., but I've always wanted to cage dive with a big Great White .

[drhu22]

Hmmph! We used to shoot those out of the car!

I've already been on mine - late December in the Yukon for bison. I'm not an avid hunter (much more an angler to tell the truth), but this trip for buffalo meant a ton for me. And the Yukon is an amazing place for fish and game.



Pics and details ..... I figure there's no better place to share this than a hunting site. And damn, I have a great thing going in Alberta but I sure do miss living in the Yukon!

My wife and I got hitched in 2013 in Whitehorse. Planning for the wedding we decided to serve buff as the main course so that meant getting out during the Dec 2012 season. My older cousin - whom I respect and admire a great deal - and I went out.

The plan was to take our sleds up a frozen river an hour north of Whitehorse into the mountains, setup a wall tent and use that as a base for a few days at the higher elevation. Unfortunately travel on the ice was very, very slow and slushy. After hours of getting soaked and not getting far enough into the hills we went home with our tails slightly between our legs. Good thing though - all of our gear was frozen to the core. It would have been a bad night at 30 below.

I knew of a spot on higher ground where I had seen bison the year before; the next morning we decided to head there on a day trip with the sleds and minimal gear.

About an hour in we spotted a distant bison - a few kilometers away high up a large ridge (with an equally large descent and lake crossing between us. We rode down and parked the sleds on the lake, bushwhacked and stalked on snowshoes until we were able to shoot.

The animal was downed and when we got to him it was apparent just how large he was. Our estimates were 2400 - 2600 lbs based on our weighed out quarters. We shot him in the early afternoon and had him dressed and quartered by midnight. We slept that night on chunks of hide atop this unnamed Yukon mountain at 30 below zero.

We had a full moon and so started packing meat down to the snowmachines in the early hours of the morning. We packed all of the Saturday and brought my wife back on the Sunday to complete the job.

That bison hunt and time spent with my cousin is something that I'll not soon forget.

The wedding was a great success. The bison was delicious (we took 2x 40 lb roasts from his rear quarters for the meal). A couple years later and my wife and I are expecting our first child - due yesterday, actually!

Taking down a tree so that we were able to roll him back and get the quarters on the left side.

New Zealand Red Stag is my number one dream hunt!

Boy you must just laugh WAY too much. Awesome sense of humour bud.

[Wild&Free]

Musk Ox.

I've heard they're very good eating.

[HowSwedeItIs]

I want to hunt tigers from the back of an elephant with jim shockey

[Birchcraft]

Mine's fairly simple, NWT Muskox. Such a neat and delicious animal, not to mention the outstanding scenery and picturesque landscape of the tundra.

+1.

[sillyak]

Multi day backpack sheep hunt is probably a dream hunt for many friends to our south, I've been lucky enough to do that.

#1 dream hunt would be a Tajikistan Marco Polo Sheep. Not going to happen though.

Cape buffalo in Zim would probably be my biggest dream hunt that is attainable. Honorable mention: NZ Chamois/Tahr with backpacks, Yukon Dall with horses, BC goat with float plane, BC coastal Griz, SA plains game hunt with some good buddies.

[Kurt505]

Yukon/Alaskan moose archery hunt would be fun, so would a polar bear or muskox hunt. I don't really have any interest in any animal not found in North America.

[300magman]

Without question my dream hunt would be stone sheep in BC. Close second would be NWT dalls.

[sns2]

I'd be happy with a fairly large pig from Hog Wild in Mayerthorpe:bad_boys_20:

[Flight01]

My dad and I on an Alaskan moose / caribou hunt

[58thecat]

Start in one place and hunt all the game species world wide for one year, travel, enjoy the different cultures and experiences that only a hunt of that magnitude could bring.

Archery Red Stag in New Zealand

[Zuludog]

I'd love to get a huge elk with dark antlers with either my bow or rifle. :)

Red stag in NZ looks cool too. :sHa_shakeshout:

[Out Trouting]

Book in with Brad Fry for a week long whitetail hunt, that guy is the poop

[Ultimate Predator]

Archery Yukon moose , Archery grizz was 1 yr away from pulling my grizz draw in AB AHHHHH

[wolf308]

Ultimate hunt would be an animal that rhymes with daechal botley
And or Dustin proodeau

Prolly a grizz after that

[drake]

BC stone sheep/moose combo

[6mm rem]

Kamchatka for snow sheep would be an adventure:)

[Birchcraft]

Mine's fairly simple, NWT Muskox. Such a neat and delicious animal, not to mention the outstanding scenery and picturesque landscape of the tundra.

[Sledhead71]

Been researching the Russian Brown archery hunt, should have something lined up for 2017 I hope...

[sikwhiskey]

Tiger, riding on the back of an elephant.. Don't think it will ever happen. Lion maybe.. Would like a Grizzly or brown bear hunt as well..
Hogs out of a helicopter I'm looking into.

[Selkirk]

My biggest dream hunt would be to finally get to hunt with my son again. Since he moved out to BC,
we haven't hunted together for quite a few seasons now.

Irish Elk.

Last time I was hunting in Ireland I think I saw one of these...mind you, that was after a dozen or so Guinness.
These guys have been extinct for a while, I'm old, but not that old.
