congrads westford, looks like a nice bou, makes me want to go back up, but with only one bou for 2014 not worth it, would like to see the November hunt come back, and in 2006 we had -36 one day it got up to -5 for the high temp for the day. SO LETS GO BOU HUNTING!!

Mirage said that there is talk about maybe next year they might allow you to buy a second license so you can shoot a second caribou but that won't interest me much but it is a potential option. Obviously it is a money thing more than herd managment.

Nice bull!

Hello all,

wow this is a thread that took a while to eat through. I have been interested in doing a winter hunt and have been looking at mirage. My main problem is it is a monster drive from wyoming up there. I see they have planes up in January and they have bus rides up in December. collecting a caribou would be one step closer to my little quest of a super 10. And of course with money being tight as it seems to be everywhere I am trying to scrimp where I can to try to get it all done. 2600 miles to get there will be no small feat in itself. From all the reading November is the best time to collect a bou with decent head gear but cant be done as of this year? First week of December is there usually snow for the snowmobile rental to be viable? I was wondering If i might get someone willing to talk of this hunt maybe by email as I have loads of questions to try to get a hunt set up and dont wish to make this already huge thread loaded down with I am sure to most stupid questions.

So I guess you can still shoot 2 caribou this year on the winter hunt.

Yes- and only 2 big bulls! Your wall must be getting full

We are glad the rules are steady this year again. I think the tree huggers are finnally admitting the herd is strong and growing.

How is the migration pattern looking this year? Not much talk going on here this year ? I sure wish I was heading up this year - Good Luck!

We just got back from caribou hunting the first week of Dec up in northern Quebec. It was a bust. We stayed at the Kiskimaastakin camp. The caribou have all moved to 22A. There were a lot of issues with camp info. They had not done any pre-scout on the weekend before. We went out opening day by sled with quides. Lots of problems with machines and slush on ice, getting stuck. Went by heli next day, no caribou, still paid. On Tue night had a camp meeting with options: free stay and try to get out by heli nort of 22A. There were no breaks by camp or reimbursements. Total of 10 boo taken for 70 hunters. I think Mirage took 20. BAD!!!
