If money is an issue....Go with a standard Mini DV or HD cam...you will have some sacrifice in low light..
Always keep your cam on a tri-pod during this hunt...always...if you want something to appreciate...
If you want to be successfull in low light you will need a 3CCD cam by SOny Cannon or Panasonic...
I make productions with a Panasonic AG-DVC 30....its a $1500 dollar cam and you can find one like it at

Click on pro video...3CCD will lead you to success in all situations.
WOW...have fun in the YUKON....!!!
