...you forgot the Mosquitoes... those B**tards are the size of choppers up there...

I have been bitten to the point that I don't even get bumps anymore Mainly because their they mainline from the veins

Only one thing worse, black flies! They are really annoying, so much that a Mosquito's buzzing is like sweet music compared to those SOB's!

We do have about 12 miles of arctic coast (I'm underexaggerating) so in theory we have polar bears......can't shoot them though so the point is moot, same with musk ox.......

You forgot stone sheep and musk ox and although we have introduced wood bison there is no evidence that they were ever indigenous, same with the elk. Oh ya and don't forget our odd cougar sighting and although Yukon game regs don't treat wolves as big game animals, SCI does, so that's open to debate as well. Even though we don't require tags for wolves, there is a bag limit and a season so they are being treated as managed game, hence a case could be made that the wolf is truly a big game animal.

What else is there in the rest of Canada, though.

Three Yukon Mosquitoes discussing their next human victim..... " Shall we take him home, or just eat him here?" lol.

Yukon mosquitoes do not "buzz" they go "wop-wop-wop-wop"

They are certainly big, particularly the early hatches.

There's those red stag preserves in QC too. Not indigenous though, I'd still like to go out if it's not overly 'canned' feeling. Just need to win the lottery.

According to B&C there is but one moose species in B.C. ....Canada Moose and 3 sheep species...bighorn, stone and a few Dalls. I don't have my book handy but I'm not sure if they recognize two blacktail species or not. They also call all caribou in B.C. mountain or forest caribou, meaning the same species.

Maybe B&C doesn't, but a simple google will show Sitka BT's in the Queen Charlottes and Shiras Moose in the extreme South East corner of BC.

BC caribou are all Woodland. Depending on location they call them Mountain, Boreal or Northern.

Moose in south eastern BC are Shiras.
