Yep, the border closure has forced my Aug 2021 Dall sheep hunt to be postponed till 2022. (The 2020 hunters are going in 2021, hopefully).
New Adventures. Your suggestions?

IF high fence hunts are your thing. (Not for me)

I get the high fence thing. Still can be a great hunt on several thousand acres.

I'm speaking with a few different safari outfitters now. Its looking like Ivory Trails safaris is in the lead at the moment. We're making plans for 2022. The wife will be joining me and it should be a pretty epic trip.

You could try for Red and Fallow deer in New Zealand. Check out www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.nz/ If you join there, and ask the question, I'm sure there are plenty of members who would be happy to help you out with a hunt on public or even private land. Public land hunting is free, and you can obtain the necessary permit at doc.gov.nz/ .We don't have wolves or bear, but we do have Himalayan Tahr (the last sustainable/huntable herd in the world), and Chamois in the South Island. South Island is both scenic and rugged hunting, and you will need an experienced guide down there - a few trampers and mountaineers die down there most years, so don't take it lightly. I live in the North Island, so can't offer help - besides, I'm too old and my body is too damaged for that stuff; but I have no doubt that you will get offers at the H&S forum. Whatever you do, good luck and stay safe.

How about muskox out of Nunavett, or walrus. To make it more interestng try the muskox in winter. I have a good hunting buddy who hunts all over the world, has taken the big 5, some specialties in China, a polar bear, elephant, muskox, and he says the most dangerous animal he has ever hunted was a ................... .................walrus. Huh ?? Then he told me the story, the danger he and his eskimo guides had because of the type of hunt, the weather, and the boats they used, and I agree it would have been enough for me. He books his hunts thru Safari International BTW. I've always admired that man.
Canadian entry restrictions have been greatly relaxed. As of this past August, entering BC and then the Yukon only required a vaccination card. Boosters were not even required. The rifle registration requirements and inspections were the main hassle.
