Northern Canada Big Game Hunting
Northern Canada includes the province of Newfoundland, the northern part of the province of Quebec, and all three Canadian territories: the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. The terrain among northern Canada is very different from one are to the next; both the Yukon and Northwest Territories include mountainous, forested regions as well as tundra.
All three species of bear in Canada– polar, grizzly, and black – can be found in these territories, as well as bighorn and thinhorn sheep. The Yukon is home to a small herd of buffalo and a smaller herd of elk, and the third largest moose ever taken was harvested in this territory. The islands in the Arctic ocean of the Northwest Territories offer a rare chance to hunt the unique musk oxen for intrepid and adventurous big game seekers.
Nunavut is largely tundra and pack ice, and that means a lot of polar bears. Northern Quebec and Newfoundland include populations of moose, black bear, and whitetail deer. The entire north is also known for the availability of caribou, although the presence of these migratory animals is highly dependent on the time of year.
