The Hunt

Our SNO Big4 Hunt is the ultimate in South Nahanni hunting and you will be able to make extensive use of our diverse area thanks to the flexibility and efficiency that helicopter transportation offers. The BIG4 hunt is tailored exactly to your wishes and interests – it’s a Lego piece type hunt, for which you arrange the combinations. 12-days allow you to take between 2 and 5 trophies -Dall sheep, Alaska-Yukon moose, mountain caribou and mountain goat, also wolf, wolverine and black bear.

Please go to Dall sheep and to Moose hunts for information on trophies and hunting methods.

Fitness Level

Everybody who is in reasonable shape, physically and mentally, and who can shoot straight, will have the opportunity to harvest respectable trophies with us. Be prepared to hike up and down mountains, glass, stalk, and scramble over rocks. Moderate to steep terrain should be expected on all mountain sheep hunts. This is a highly physical hunt.

Timing

In September all game is on the move: moose are rutting, caribou are migrating, and wolves are following. Moose and caribou will be hard horned and out of velvet. Sheep and goats are still easily approachable before the winter snows and capes are beautiful. It’s a true hunter’s heaven.

A flawless organization is key to your perfect mixed bag hunt, and base camp will pull all strings for a successful experience. We, the outfitters, spend all season flying scouting missions, monitoring progress, and meeting you in the field whenever possible. We regularly talk with the guides about the progress of the hunt, or to arrange a spike camp move or pick up.

The Spot

The Mackenzie Mountains of Canada’s Northwest Territories are world renowned for their successful, remote hunts. Each outfitter operates within the safe boundaries of their own concession. There are no roads, no people, no towns, no trace of humans, just space to follow game trails, which have scribbled their lines over the mountains for thousands of years.

South Nahanni’s 9,000 square miles are so vast it swallows Yellowstone National Park twice and more; larger than a small European country like Slovenia. Our own helicopter makes non-hunting time fast and efficient

shuttling you throughout the huge concession. This selective access leaves recently hunted game populations to renew themselves, resulting in successful hunts with an opportunity rate of 100%. Well organized logistics and hardworking guides with an understanding of the land and game are paramount to our success.

All our hunts are spot and stalk, and certainly FAIR CHASE. Hunting from the helicopter, with the helicopter or just disembarked from the helicopter is not possible in South Nahanni. Hunting is allowed to commence 12 hours after landing.

You will camp in small backpacker tents and hunt with day gear only (e.g. rain gear, water bottle). If your camp has to be moved your guide will contact base camp on his satellite messenger for a helicopter shuttle. Camping spots are determined by water sources, landing possibilities for the helicopter and the availability of game.

Be prepared to hike up and down mountains, glass, stalk, and scramble over rocks. Moderate to steep terrain should be expected on all mountain sheep hunts. This is a highly physical hunt.
