YOUR YUKON ADVENTURE

August has nights that can reach freezing and days can reach the upper 70’s. Layering is necessary. Be prepared for rain.September in the North Country is the start of our cold season. Freezing temperatures at night are the norm and we can also have freezing temperatures during the day. Highs could be in the 50’s. There is a good chance of wet weather and possibly snow. Again, layering is necessary. October is colder and temps probably will be below freezing both day and night. Snow is probable but be prepared for rain. Add to the low temps, a wind chill, so layering is important.

We offer horseback hunts, backpack hunts and boat hunts. Depending upon the time of year, which animals you are hunting and game sightings, we utilize the best hunting method(s) for your particular hunt.

We have numerous spike camps throughout our area, and many times you will hunt from one of these camps. However, sometimes to improve our opportunities on a hunt, the decision is made to stay out in a tent so that we can hunt more country.

Yes, depending upon weather and other conditions, that is a potential. But, most likely all of our hunters will spread out and hunt different areas.

Yes. Non-hunters can join you for an additional cost.

Bring enough cash to cover tips and souvenirs (US cash is preferred for these transactions). Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted across Canada and using your card, you will usually get the best exchange rates.

1. Practice with your rifle. Practice using different shooting positions. Be familiar with shooting at different ranges as we never know if you are going to have a close, medium or long range shot.
2. Get yourself in shape. Prior to your hunt, get in lots of long walks, climb hills and do exercise.Your hunt will be much more enjoyable if you are prepared.
3. Make sure you have really good gear and that your boots are well broken in and have soles that work well in wet, slippery conditions.

All meat is donated to locals in the area. Some will go to the food bank in Whitehorse.

We have a licensed expeditor in Whitehorse who will ship your trophy to your home country and your preferred taxidermist.

Every hunter we have is scheduled for transportation back to Whitehorse. However, if you finish early we can make arrangements for a plane to come in and take you out early. There will be an extra cost for this service.

Tipping is one of the least understood aspects of a guided hunt and can be the most awkward to ask about or discuss. We have created some guidelines so that you can better understand the tipping process. Tips are an essential part of our guide’s compensation for all of the hard work that they do. At Yukon Peak Outfitters, our minimum average tip is around 15% per hunter for a good hunt. A great hunt might be 20% and a Hunt of a Lifetime could be 25%+. If camp cooks, wranglers and others are involved, don’t forget them. Tips are usually paid in either cash or by check. Tips should be forthcoming whether or not any animals were taken, provided the guide did his/her best to find said animals. It is not the guide’s fault if it is a slow hunting week. If you have any questions, please discuss this with Rob. The above was adopted from Peterson’s Hunting–April, 2004.

We do not provide alcohol for our clients but you may bring a limited quantity. Remember your days will probably be long and hard, so moderation is the key.

With your packets of information, you will receive a suggested pack list. Think layers of quality clothing that dries quickly, good boots, and a rifle you are very familiar with.
