Here we will turn on to the North Canol Road, driving another hour north to hour put-in for the Nisutlin River. Over the next seven days we will travel southeast through some of the best moose habitat in the Yukon. We have a very good opportunity of being successful on our hunt.

After our hunt (hopefully successful) we will return to our base-camp at Cabin Lake and process some of the moose meat into sausages, jerky etc. and relax in the wilderness setting. We may also have time to do some fishing for arctic charr on Cabin Lake.
