We would like to thank you for considering or choosing Nahanni Butte Outfitters for your Canadian hunting destination. The Lancaster family has owned and operated this vast section of the Mackenzie Mts NWT for the past decade. At Nahanni you'll find Cam and Cathy Lancaster, Jim and Nadine Lancaster and Clay and Kris Lancaster operating this area.
The Area: With 9700 square miles of roadless, untouched wilderness this is a mountain hunters paradise. This area is so large that in 10 years of operating we have only seen or hunted about 70%. It is safe to say that many of the animals you will hunt have never seen a human.
Dall Sheep: The Nahanni region of the Mackenzie Mts is renown for the high density of sheep. It's not uncommon to see 20-30 rams in one hunt. Over the past years, we have maintained a very high age average on the sheep we harvest. It's consistently 10-11 years and because of these management practices the sheep have benefited . The numbers remain high and our average sheep size stays around 36-37" with many 39 and 40" plus rams taken each year. Our rifle hunts are usually 100% successful. We also take many archery sheep hunters each year. The Nahanni has produced more pope and young entries for dalls than any other place in North America. By setting aside key areas for archery hunting as well as the huge numbers of animals, the success on these trips is very good. These trips are mountain backpack trips that require clients to be in the best shape possible.
