YUKON IS ABSOLUTLY SCREWED UP WHEN IT COMES TO LETTING NON RESIDENTS ALL THE RIGHT TO CIRCUMVENT THE LAW TO PROFIT FROM A SPECIAL GUIDE LICENSE
CAN SPECIAL GUIDE PROFIT FROM FREE ADVERTISING FOR HIS YUKON BUSINESS, GET'S TO PROMOTE HIS BUSINESS WITH DRAWS AND ONLINE CONTEST FOR HIS WILDERNESS BUSINESS ? THAT'S JUST SOME OF THE QUESTIONS LOCAL YUKON HUNTERS ARE ASKING
This situation is deeply upsetting to Yukon residents who expect wildlife laws to be followed fairly and consistently. A special guide license is a privilege, not a loophole to be stretched for commercial gain. If the rule is truly “one hunter per license,” then that should mean exactly that — one hunter, not a hunter plus an entourage filming content for future profit, sponsorships, online videos, or movies.
What makes this even more troubling is the appearance that the hunt is being used to promote a guide’s business, boost sponsor exposure, and generate commercial value well beyond a lawful hunt. When contests, branded gear, sponsor logos, and promotional campaigns are tied to the event, it raises a serious question: is this still a hunt, or has it become a commercial venture disguised as one? It was also said in there live podcast they are using drones to film the hunt. looking below are the law of Yukon but wait there is exceptions to the rule.
Many Yukon hunters are watching this and asking why some are expected to follow the rules while others seem to be getting away with bending them. If filming is allowed under a separate permit, that still does not answer the broader issue of whether the hunt itself is being turned into a profit-making enterprise. Yukoners deserve clarity, accountability, and enforcement — not selective interpretation of the law.
This needs to be addressed immediately.
