GENERAL INFORMATION

Yukon Big Game Outfitters concession is known for its giant area which we operate in. Our area is home to many of the big game animals found in the Yukon. We are licensed by the Yukon Government. We hold the exclusive rights to guide clients in a commercial operation for outfitting area #20; the largest outfitting concession in the Yukon & the largest in all of Canada. It is located in south-central Yukon, northeast of Whitehorse and covers approximately 14 million acres or 21,600 square miles of prime wilderness hunting ground. We have been operating in this area since 2012 and we have yet to see all of the area. The camps we hunt are remote and accessible only by bush plane or horseback. Millions of acres have never been touched, leaving the landscape, game, and genetics much the way they were 50 years ago. Our area overlaps the Traditional Territories of Kaska & Teslin Tlingit First Nations, their people have been here for thousands of years. The majority of the  meat is donated into the remote communities, given to the schools, elders, and family’s that have relied on the moose and caribou diet. We encourage sharing and supporting this custom.

The terrains vary from scenic rugged mountains, giant vast plateaus, willow covered valleys and literally hundreds of miles of rivers with countless lakes and ponds; including the mountain ranges of the Cassiar Mnts, Pelly Mnts, and the Campbell Mnt Range with the highest peak being 7700 feet. Most of our adventures take place between 3000 and 5500 feet. YBGO’s area may be one of the last great areas that is has not yet been fully explored by the traveling hunter. We manage the area and your adventure, spreading out the harvest and keeping the quality and genetics as we found it. The success our clients enjoy is outstanding and can be found in our hunt highlights report by request.
