We work with one of the most diverse big-game outfitters in the Canadian North.
With more than 30 years outfitting experience in Canada’s North we offer a full complement of unique big game hunting packages to our clients.
Our partnerships with the aboriginal and Inuit people of the North will put you in the safe care of several generations of capable hunters, with unparalleled experience traveling on the land.
We invite you to take advantage of their expertise while you hunt the magnificent animals of the north with priceless memories as well as outstanding trophies.
What We’re All About Welcome to the Canadian North – a big game paradise. For over 30 years we’ve been giving hunters the experience of their lives.
Guided through the amazing land with centuries of knowledge, in the hands of our partners – the aboriginal and Inuit people of the north – your adventure will thrive.
It’s here you will learn to smell the air. Here you will learn to feel the earth. And here you will learn what it takes to become a man in the north. Every year a few select hunters are lucky enough to shoot for one of the world’s most sought after predators – the barren ground grizzly. On the vast tundra of Nunavut, the grizzly population continues to thrive and expand its territory. Our spring hunts have been 100% successful, though trophy bears are not always located.
Hunting during this season is done via snow machine, which enables you to cover far more ground than possible in fall conditions, and provides a huge advantage when looking for these highly mobile animals. Unseasonably warm or cold weather or other conditions beyond our control may affect your hunt. If there’s a change in the route the caribou take, or a blizzard, your hunt may not be exactly as described. Your transportation is a large wooden sled pulled by your guide. In the past, comfort on these sleds has not been the best. We are experimenting with a shock absorption system.
In size, the barren ground grizzly compares well to the mountain grizzly of Yukon or Alaska. It is not as big as the lowland grizzly that is found along the salmon rivers of British Columbia or Alaska. Exceptional specimens of barren ground grizzly may reach eight or nine feet. At any size, this bear is well known for its ferocity. And fears no animal – man included.
In 2002, one of the hunters killed what we hear is the new #1 barren ground grizzly with a bow. It may also be #2 with any weapon.
Schedule:
In the morning you will be picked up at the hotel in Yellowknife and transported to the airport for your air charter to camp. Flight time is approximately two hours. Because you will be hunting in Nunavut, you will need to acquire an export permit before your hide can be brought to Yellowknife. Thus, upon your return the plane will go from Bathurst Inlet to Kugluktuk where you will be able to pay your trophy fees, and have an export permit issued. It is our experience that due to weather, sometimes this is not possible. Should this occur, it may be necessary to leave the trophies in Bathurst Inlet, until we are able to get export permits issued. Upon your return to Yellowknife, you will be taken to the hotel.
