alwyshntn · 08-16-2005, 04:38 PM

We are trying to put together a caribou hunt for Sept. 2006. We have been looking into Mirage Outfitters.. Has anyone had or know anyone who has had any experience with them? Or do any of you have any outfitters suggestions. Mirage Outfitters is located in Quebec along the Leaf River. I would be interested in any info on that area as well.. Thank You all for your help in advance

I have been using Mirage at K358 for winter Caribou. Aside from the great hunting and experience in the Laforge area, the lodge is excellent. The food is very good and the choices are great. I would get the package in the lodge as they have clean rooms that are comfortable - andyou can get a bunk room for 2/4 or a hotel style roomif you likethat.

The people atMirage are friendly and very knowledable aboutthe areaand where the animals are moving. Guides are also available if you want to pay.

Go to the "OTHER AREAS" section and you will see a almost 50 page link with hundreds of posts regarding caribou hunting as well as Mirage. Mirage is the nicest outfit up there but difficult to get a booking to but most are also hard.

Hi,

I just got back from a weeklong trip up north with Jack Hume Adventures. Based on my experience, I would HIGHLY recommend going with him. He's got 20+ camps and only books 6 at a time. He has at least 2 scouts going around to the vacant camps to see if Caribou are passing through. We had 6 hunters in our group (2 of which were Bow Hunters). Things were a little tough for us as the migration wasn't coming through and the Caribou were all going north in small numbers. We managed to tag out with the exception of one of the bow hunters who could have easily tagged out if he had chosen to use a rifle.

In the airport in Shefferville, we heard some absolute nightmares where people were shut out. In one case, the outfitter brought the hunters into Labrador just to find absolutely nothing. Late in the week, he called JHA to see if he could send them into one of their vacant camps which was acceptable. After moving there and buying a Quebec hunting license into addition to the Labrador license, there were able to tag 4 caribou in one day out of six hunters. Not very happy campers.

I am sure that there are very good outfitters up north in addition to JHA. I advise you not to try to save too much money and do your due dilligence before you book. It will be well worth the effort.

Cheers
