Default RE: Caribou Hunts in Canada

I've heard more bad things about caribou hunts than probably any other hunt/outfitter/specie to go after, none the less I want one too.

Every outfitter will tell you if you're not in the game they'll fly you to another camp, I always hear that, then I hear from hunters, "ya this outfitter said that, there was no game and we stayed there the entire time."

So I wouldn't plan on being moved if you're not where you need to be.

I think I would better try to time the migrations than catch up/move to where they are. My cousin has been on 3 caribou hunts I believe, and probably only 1 of those would he have reccomended.

If you want a trophy, I'd hold out, especially if you're seeing alot of animals, also learn how they score them, knowing that can help you shoot a monster vs a dink. 1 big shovel scores less than 2 good shovels.

Good luck.
