 * __Moose__ - There are about 65,000-70,000 moose in the Yukon Territory. Moose are more abundant in the south than in the north. Moose hunting season goes from August 1 through October 31. There are two species of moose which are the Yukon-Alaska Moose and the Canada Moose. A moose track looks like to ovals next to each other and are 5 1/4 inches long.
 * __Woodland Caribou__ - There are about 23 herds which is about 30,000 caribou. Only deer species that both male and female grow antlers. These caribou are endangered and have strong hooves. They can be found in snowy areas. Their tracks look like to cashews with a circle under them. They are edible.
 * __Barren ground Caribou__ - The Barren ground has a thick coat and weigh a lot. They eat lichens, grasses, mosses and willows. 120,000 is the largest herd found in the territory. They enjoy living in the snowy mountainous areas. They have a dark brown face and have white around their faces. These caribou are good swimmers and make a loud snorting sound. Their tracks look the same as a Woodland Caribous. They are edible.
 * __Mountain Sheep__ - There are 22,000 mountain sheep in the Yukon Territory. These sheep have large curled horns that can weigh up to 30 pounds which is more than all of their bones combined. Mountain sheep are endangered herbivores. Mountain sheep are highly prized by hunters. They have very good eyesight and go in the mountains during summer and go down to the foothills in the winter. Their hooves are split in half and they are edible.
 * __Mountain Goats__ - Mountain Goats have thick coats that protects them from freezing weather and biting winds. Their white coats also provide good camouflage in the snow They have cloven hooves that have two toes that provide balance. These mammals are herbivores. Mountain Goats live in high rainy areas in the Rocky Mountains. There are 1700 goats and their herds can have up to 20 animals. Mountain Goats are protected by the Kluane National Park so you can not hunt them. These animals are edible.
 * __Grizzly Bears__ - Grizzlies range throughout the Yukon and the estimated population is about 6000 to 7000. The National Forest protects the female grizzlies so you may not hunt them. Not only are the females protected by the forest managers but also the cubs. The cubs include any grizzlie bear three years or younger. The tracks are five circles on top of a big oval. They den in a hillside for winter hibernation. They are at the top of the food chain and are omnivores. This animal is different than the black bear because of the hump on it's shoulders. Their coloration is usually dark brown but can vary from light cream to black. Long guard hairs on this bear's back and shoulders have white tips and give this bear a "grizzled" look. This animal can be referred to as a brown bear because of it's color. Watch out this bear is always ready to attack and can be eaten if hunted.
 * __Black Bears__ - The estimated population of the Yukon Black Bear is about 10,000. They range from the BC-Yukon border to the Yukon's tree line but are more likely to be seen in the southern and central part of the territory. The Black Bear's tracks look like an oval with five circles on top. You know there is a black bear near if you see that a tree has claw and bite marks in it. The bear was here rubbing its scent on it. You can tell it's a black bear's teeth by the horizontal marks that look like a dot and a dash. These bears are not protected by the Forest and can be hunted. If hunted they can be eaten.
 * __Wolf__ - The population of the wolf in the Yukon Territory is about 4500 animals and is stable. When wolf numbers change prey numbers change. Wolves are found all over the Yukon Territory but are more likely in areas with lots of moose. These animals live in packs with an occasional unrelated wolf joining in. The size of the pack varies from 2 to 22. Male wolves are heavier, longer, and larger than females. Adult males weigh about 95 pounds on average. Females weigh about 80 pounds on average. Hunting season for wolf starts August 1 and goes till March 31. It is very hard to hunt one of these animals. A hunter would have to make a concerted effort to increase the odds of making contact. If one is killed it is you will definitely be able to eat it!
 * __Wood Bison__ - Wood Bison were released in the Yukon Territory in 1992. There are about 450 bison at the end of each year. Hunting is required to keep herd size at about 450 animals, otherwise the herd will continue to grow. The natural factors in this area do not cause much mortality on Wood Bison yet. The hunting season stretches from December 1 to March 31. Only residents can hunt these animals with a permit.
 * __Lynxes__ - The Canadian Lynx's fur is usually white tipped and is spotted. The color of the coat ranges from reddish-brown to gray. The tail of a lynx looks like it was dipped was dipped in ink as it is black all the way around. This animal is one of the only predators that eats the snowshoe hare. When the hare population decreases so does the lynx population. The easiest way to hunt a lynx is to trap it. Lynx are easily trapped in times of low numbers which makes recovery very hard. Hunting season is during January and March. Their tracks look like four circles over one medium size circle. They live in thick forests with windfalls which provide cover for denning sites. There are not vert many lynxes in the Yukon Territory. Even though there are few of these animals they are still edible.
 * __Golden Eagle__ - This bird is the national bird of Mexico but is found in the Yukon Territory. Its coat is dark brown with lighter-golden patches around their head and neck. They are very fast and can dive upon their prey at speeds of more than 150 miles per hour. Golden Eagle's use their speed and talons to catch rabbits, marmots, and ground squirrels. The Golden Eagle lives high up on cliffs or mountain peaks. They build huge nests which they may return to for several years. Hunting is permitted in the Yukon Territory.
 * __Fish__ - Fish can be caught in Phillips Bay.
 * __Non-Huntable Animals__ - There are also some other animals to beware of even though they are non-huntable. Some of them are Elk, Mule Deer, Polar Bear, Muskox, and Cougar.

Land and Weather Expert

.
 * Weather in Yukon, Canada.In-mid September the days are shorter and nights are cold and the winds make the northern lights. Best time when the moose and wolves are out.
 * There is a river by Quite lake. The river is narrow, shallow, moderately fast, and has a lot of salmon
 * The tempertures in ,yukon mid-september could reach zero or below.
 * In Yukon there is a lot of forest which could be a good fire wood supply and with all those trees could be good for a shelter.And in Yukon territory there is lots of lakes and more rivers.If your not able to build a shelter in the forest your best bet would be Mt.Logan.
