The Yukon is an Canadian territory but it’s wildlife is under the control of the U. S. you would be amazed of what the are getting away with.

Wolves and bears are what kill Caribou, man doesn’t kill enough to put a dent in anything. They have definitely been a part of the ecosystem forever, and left unchecked their 50-70 year cycle of boom, depleted ungulates, starvation and disease, then a return of the ungulates will continue. But I don’t want to wait 70 years for it to get better before we see caribou in numbers again.
Americans were shooting caribou without Outfitters ??? Seems odd
What else are the Americans getting away with ?
