Description

This outfitter offers traditional horseback hunts for Moose. Horseback hunts allow the outfitter to venture into remote areas where they have harvested some remarkable moose with mature bulls averaging 58″-60″, although they have also taken trophies measuring in the 70″ range. This outfitter has a 95% success rate and it is quite common to harvest another animal with these moose hunts. A Moose-Caribou or Moose-Grizzly combination is quite popular in this area. Tags for all the animals are included in the hunt price. Harvest fees are extra for any additional animals harvested. The typical Moose hunting terrain is mountainous with wide treed valleys, lots of high willow ridges, muskeg and small ponds. This outfitter provides several comfortable camps with cabins throughout the area, but be prepared to travel with a spike camp. This outfitter uses Beckel canvas tents with all traveling hunts. As per Yukon law, each hunter has a designated guide and unless otherwise requested there is only one hunter per camp. This outfitter offers five moose hunt dates per season each lasting 10 full hunting days with a day on each end to allow for travel time in and out of camps. Outfitter will pick up hunters at the Dawson City airport and then transport them to camp.

This outfitter offers five moose hunt dates per season each lasting 10 full hunting days with a day on each end to allow for travel time in and out of camps. Outfitter will pick up hunters at the Dawson City airport and then transport them to camp. The first hunt is August 23rd-Sept 1st: the days are becoming shorter and the weather is cooler with a good chance of snow. The Bulls are alone or in bachelor groups and can be found throughout the area from slightly above timberline to the valley bottoms. The Moose lose their velvet around August 25th. The second hunt is September 3rd-12th: the Moose are in pre-rut at the start. Hunters have good luck with this hunt harvesting big Bulls before they herd up with the cows and start to hide. The third hunt: September 14th-23rd: the Moose are in full rut during this hunt and respond well to calling. Be prepared for cooler weather and freezing temperatures. The last hunt is September 25th-October 4th: by this hunt the bulls usually have the cows pushed back off the rivers and are found in higher terrain. The Moose start to herd up in October.
