Default RE: Interested in a caribou hunt.

I went with Jack Hume this year. They were excellent. In every way, the either met or exceeded my expectations. It was a tough year this fall, but they managed to tag everyone out. On our way back, we ran into a quite a few people that didn't tag out, and even a few people that didn't see any caribou.

One guy said he was with an outfitter (can't remember the name) on the Labrador Quebec border. They did not see one caribou most of the week. Their outfitter called Richard Hume and asked if they could use one of the Hume camps. Richard agreed; they moved and were able to harvest a few caribou on the last day.

JHA's major advantage is the fact that they have 20+ camps spread around and are willing to move you at no cost if either you haven't seen anything. This year, they moved some guys out of the camp we flew into as they had tagged out and wanted to chill out drink beer fish, etc... until the week was over. They got water, electricity, etc... and we got into a productive camp.

I was very impressed with their flexibility, willingness to do whatever they could, and their ability to set expectations and meet them.

If you go and you meet Lorraine (cook) and Steve (guide), tell them Dan says "hi".

Good luck.
