RE: How fast is a Caribou?
I've shot a few caribou but I've never had anyone say... or have never read anything...If I had to guess I'd say 25-30....but I could be way off....

Not faster than 280 FPS[8D]
Possibly the most fun I've ever had on a hunting trip.
They are pretty quick though, not only running, but just walking accross the tundra. They cover some ground, and quick only walking.

Not as fast as a Marsupial. They are "fast".

RE: How fast is a Caribou?
Have fun with it....that whole trick of hanging your arms above your head and walking towards them DOES WORK....they love pick up trucks too
They like to lick the mirrors as your driving buy....
On the flip side...
If you're ALONE...on foot...trying a stalk in open tundra...different story....A true Challenge!

RE: How fast is a Caribou?
I was surprised to hear, this evening, that a caribou is capable of speeds of 50mph.
That's about 2X faster than I would have guessed.[&:]
