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.
This is a 16-day, 1X2 hunt with 14 full days of hunting
Many consider this to be the toughest hunt in the world. Mentally, physically and environmentally, you will be challenged to your limits. Challenged to survive 10 – 14 days on the top of the world, with nothing between you and the elements, except clothes and a light canvas tent.
You will journey 100 miles from the nearest Inuit community, on the back of a snowmobile or by being towed in an enclosed box with a viewing window, to a prime hunting outpost. From there, you and your guide will glide across the ice using a traditional dog team to navigate the endless arctic landscape in search of the ultimate trophy. Even under these extreme conditions the majority of our hunters succeed.
If for any reason you have not been successful within the allotted time, extra hunting days can be arranged at the community, provided your trip does involve chartered aircraft support. The cost of these extra days is payable directly to the local Hunters and Trappers Organization.
Important Notes:
Travel to and from the community is the hunter’s responsibility. We would be pleased to provide you with information for booking your flights;
A representative from the Hunters and Trappers Committee, your hunt coordinator, will meet the hunter at the airport and will be an excellent resource for the duration of your stay;
The hunt coordinator will take you to the wildlife office in the community where all hunting licenses and tags are purchased by you;
All food and lodging while in the community is the hunters responsibility and can cost as much as three hundred dollars ($300.00) a day (Canadian). This includes days lost to bad weather, before, after, and during the hunt. If you tag out early, you have the option of staying out on the land for the remainder of your hunt or returning to the community. If you return to the community it will be your responsibility to pay for food and lodging until the departure of your flight;
There is a very good chance the hunter will lose several days of his/her hunt to bad weather, equipment breakdowns or both. Hunters must be prepared for this;
The hunter must be prepared to take the taxi from the airport to the hotel ($10.00 per person) and return on your way home if for some reason the hunt coordinator is unable to meet you with a vehicle;
It is advised that you have some Canadian currency on hand; however the wildlife office, the hotel and the co-op store all take credit cards;
Trophy fee for a polar bear is $750.00. This fee must be paid in Canadian currency at the wildlife office in the community;
