The MacKenzies - The Land that Time Forgot

Incredible photos and very well written!! Thank you very much for sharing it with us and congratulations on 2 beautiful bulls! I hope you have many more seasons ahead of you in the Mackenzies…
 
Mission accomplished: you’ve communicated well your love of wild animals and wild things for decades, and this story is special.

Well done to you, @MHMT, Mike and Riley.

I know I have “McKenzie” places in my life. None of them are as quiet as they used to be. My memories help dampen the noise while I’m in that zone. Same, and changed simultaneously. And needed for the soul.
 
Sounds like a great trip. It's tough to put into words and photos just how special that country in Northern Canada really is. A person need to be there to appreciate it fully. Like you mentioned, its nice to know large areas of planet earth haven't been exploited to hell and gone.

When I came back last year from the Yukon, you realize just how fragmented and over exploited everything in the U.S. actually is. I'm left shaking my head when people that supposedly care about what little we have left here that hasnt been exploited, act as if rescinding things like the roadless rule are necessary. What a load of crap and a total joke.

The very worst part of my trip last year was stepping on the plane to leave, like being punched in the guts.

I'm so envious of the people that live in Canada and I hope they keep most of it just like it is. If I had it to do it all over again, I would do whatever it took to become a citizen of Canada.
 
I hunted the MacKenzies in 2025 (southern end on the Nahanni range). Family plans were to go there again this summer and road-trip to the Arctic but we had to postpone until 2027 due to my wife running out of leave (which we're burning on other crazy adventures anyway).

The Canadian North is a magical place! I was not only fortunate to spend days there without seeing another soul, but also get my first caribou and witness a wolf on the hunt with her cubs (a memory that will stay with me until the day I die), on top of all the crazy memories I made there. Canada has vast untouched expanses and I will fight tooth and nail to make sure it stays this way. True, North, Strong and Free!!! 🇨🇦
