Rob in VT,

I'm glad to hear you had an enjoyable, successful caribou hunt in Newfoundland. I took a stag in 2001 and another in 2002. They were both decent sized animals and they had both dropped their antlers before I ran into them.<img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>

To be honest I really don't care about antlers, I'm all about the eats. Infact just today I made a bag of jerky and had a steak for supper. Tomorrow I might have a feed of sausagues. Good stuff!

You are correct about not taking a stag during the rut. They are supposed to be really nasty if killed during this time. I wait until the second week of November to start caribou hunting to give the stags a chance to recover a little.

Good luck in your upcoming hunt. I'm hoping to draw another caribou license this year too.

L8r,
