The Jennings River region of northern British Columbia is a dream destination for serious hunters seeking remote, rugged, and game-rich terrain. Far removed from civilization, this wild territory offers some of the most exclusive big game hunting opportunities in North America. With vast stretches of untouched wilderness, abundant wildlife populations, and professional outfitters like Jennings River Wild Adventures, the area has earned a reputation as a premier location for moose, stone sheep, mountain caribou, and wolves.
Whether you’re a seasoned hunter looking for a trophy bull or an adventurer seeking a once-in-a-lifetime backcountry experience, the Jennings River delivers.
Getting to the Jennings River is no small feat. Most visitors begin their journey in Whitehorse, Yukon, which is the nearest major city with an airport. From there, it’s a long drive down the Alaska Highway to Mile 747, followed by bush plane access or rugged overland travel to reach the river itself.
This isolation is part of the appeal. Unlike more popular destinations in BC, the Jennings River offers a level of solitude and immersion that’s increasingly rare in today’s world. Whether you’re camping under the stars, navigating whitewater rapids, or glassing for wildlife from a ridgeline, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a different era—one where nature reigns supreme.
Stone Sheep Hunting: The Crown Jewel
Stone sheep are one of the most coveted big game species in North America, and the Jennings River area is prime habitat. The Cassiar Mountains offer steep, rocky terrain where mature rams roam in solitude.
Why It’s Special:
Low hunting pressure means older, heavier rams
Scenic alpine landscapes make for unforgettable hunts
Expert guides increase success rates dramatically
Stone sheep hunts are physically demanding and require excellent fitness, patience, and glassing skills. Most outfitters recommend 10–14-day expeditions, often involving horseback travel, spike camps, and long hikes.
