I will add: moose, elk, caribou, bear, and bison are not delicacies, but a way of life.
I know a few people with the bear skin. And no, it’s not sexy. It’s gross.
I think there is a reduction in the antler trend.
There are a few more shopping choices here in Whitehorse, Canadian Tire is the most notable.
Sprucebog just happened.
Why can’t you bike with hairy legs?

You know you’re a Yukoner when:
- you consider shotguns on a wall socially acceptable and even arty as long as they are unloaded
- you have a taxidermied black bear rug hanging in your living room (like my family did for like freakin’ 10+ years!)
- you consider it normal to find rifle casings in pant pockets before putting them in the washing machine
- moose meat is not really a delicacy but a way of life
- your kids ALWAYS sport snowsuits under their Hallowe’en costumes. (We don’t here in Ontario.. My kids wear sweaters).
- antlers! Antlers on houses! Antlers on camper vans…need I say more?
- you buy the most basic items using catalogs. Frilly stuff is either from “away” or made lovingly by mom
- fierce animals roam your ‘hoods at night and it doesn’t make front page news
- going outside for recess means playing in a really big space with real ground (not asphalt) under your feet.
- your neighbour can’t go biking – she says she’s growing the hair on her legs for the Sourdough Rendezvous (true story – not kidding!)
- Sprucebog means something.
