i was working up there in rankin inlet with the military. we did get a chance to go ice fishing with the rangers up there and i caught some nice arctic greylings and a couple lake trout. we did go out seal hunting one day but unfortunatly we didn't see any. we also went carribou hunting 1 day and we saw this huge bull but the only way i would have been able to bag one for the rangers (they keep the meat but i get the antlers and i pull the trigger) was if it was a female. they don't shoot the bulls this time of the year cause they say the meat tasts nasty. we could smell that guy a mile away and he had no fear. he just stood there and looked at us like he was the king of the world. people are very friendly up there but things are super expensive! 4 liters (1 gallon) of milk cost $14 canadian that's about $10 USD. no trees either up there. all just rocks and snow. at least they don't have trouble tracking the animals they shoot lol!! btw i thought i would mention that they use 223 for everything up there except polar bears and musk ox. it was a great time up there but i'm glad to be back home.
