Gana River Outfitters provides horseback and
backpack hunts in the Mackenzie Mountains of Canada's
North West Territories. We hunt for Dall rams,
Mountain Caribou and huge Alaska Yukon Moose.
The Mackenzie Mountains is one of the last undeveloped
wilderness areas in North America. Resident hunting
pressure is virtually nil, and game populations are strong
due to our modest harvest regime. Our exclusive area is
6000 square miles of pristine Canadian wild country.

Gana River's reputation for quality hunts is known
wherever the talk turns to mountain hunting in the north.
Gana River: forty years of tradition !
The northern Mackenzie mountains is known for heavy based Dall rams. Our healthy sheep population ensures we harvest
plenty of old broomed rams, as well as some of the long tipped "argali" style sheep. You can hunt Dall Rams by either backpack
or horseback.
Many hunters choose to add a Mountain caribou to their Dall Sheep hunt, and the Gana River country has more than its share
of the massive caribou bulls the north country is known for.
We only take a limited number of moose hunters
each year, but the results are usually very
respectable. Sixty inch bulls are not uncommon in
this part of the world. Many of the Gana River
hunters choose to hunt moose on horseback, but
we do offer backpack hunts for them too...a fine
way to learn just how much these brutes weigh.
Our mixed bag hunts offer the chance to try for Dall
Sheep, caribou and moose. Wolves are also taken
every year. There is no grizzly hunting in the NWT
except for residents, but bear sightings are
common.
On our traditional style horseback hunts you will be in one of our two horse camps. We have 2 good strings of well broken mountain ponies, and each
camp has a wrangler- though most of our wranglers are guides as well! There is a maximum of 2 hunters per camp.
On our backpack hunts you will be travelling light in the mountains. Backpackers enjoy the true freedom of the hills. We often camp high on the mountain
and do much of our glassing looking down at the sheep. These hunts require a reasonable measure of fitness, but it is an amazing way to experience the
north.
