RE: CARIBOU
Got back last Sunday. Am busy getting ready to head up to Roberval, QC for a moose hunt on Thursday.
The Caribou hunt was an absolute blast. I went with Jack Hume Adventures and was very impressed with the whole operations from start to finish.
There weren't too many caribou passing though, relatively speaking (typically 10 - 15/day in groups of 4 or 5). The warm weather was pushing the Caribou north, so the big migration wasn't coming through. However, mostly what we saw were decent to good bulls. I tagged out with a day and a half to spare. I thought about going for a bear, but decided to help the other hunters who hadn't tagged out; hike their meat out so they could keep hunting.
We had a couple long bow hunters from PA that came. It was a real tough trip for them since it was primarily spot and stock hunting. Eventually they broke through and borrowed rifles :-).
I haven't had time to hook my camera up to download my pics, but will eventually. Neither of my bulls had amazing antlers, but it wasn't meant to be a real trophy hunt for me, but I was vey happy with what I ended with.
Surprisingly, the bugs were only bad for one day, which was real nice.
Well, good luck to all.
Cheers
