Liquid Orange,
Sorry you got skunked but thats hunting, if you want a guaranteed hunt then go to a game farm. On my first trip for caribou we all got skunked, it happens and it was an expensive flyin hunton the tundra. On my next 2 trips to Nouchimi everybody limited out in 2 days of hunting so I have killed or been at the scene of the killing of 24 bull caribou now and have gutted and quartered my fair share I think. I have also been surrounded by several thousand caribou up there and one time we had to park and watch them pour over the road for almost an hour! So I think I have a clue about the whole process. I also have 4 friends who hunted out of Donat Flamand in 2002 and they had thier own cabin/trailer, no other groups packed in. They all limited out in 2 days and will return to Flamand. As for not seeing caribou if you read my original posts I warn about going up there before the last week of November as it is iffy before that. Last fall 8 of my buddies went up and brought back 16 nice bulls. Mirage is a much nicer establishment, the best up there but they are more money. To each his own.
