List of Canadian Big Game

[Moose Masher]

How many types of Elk are there in Canada?
Depending on who you ask, the Manitoba Elk is it's own sub-species.

I have also heard reference to the Eastern Moose, the dividing line being somewhere around the Thunder Bay area.

That's what I would say about the sheep, too.

Among other things. I know how semi-retired country gentlemen in the hills behind Pemby get down.

I would have said 4 sheep

1) Dall
2) Stone
3) Rocky Mountain Bighorn
4) California Bighorn

and 2 Muskox
1) Greenland
2) Barren-Ground

BUM the Fannin sheep is on his own ... outfitter can sell it as a stone or dall and counts the way you want for the grand slam ... money talk on that one ...

Not according to B&C Phil, if it has black hairs in the tail or along the dorsal line it is a stone and not a Dall, Dalls must be pure white for the book. There is no such thing as a fannin sheep, it is a fallacy, colored sheep are stones and white sheep are Dalls, period, cut and dried. Because they are nothing more than two color phases of the same sheep....Ovis Dalli Dalli and Ovis Dalli Stonei, there can be no in between it is either one or the other. Black hairs = stone sheep and pure white = Dall sheep. That's how I learned it anyway......

I thought Dall's could have black hair on their tail?
