Quebec is doing NOTHING to help our fellow hunters- go to www.bowsite.com and the caribou section
I hunted with Tuttulik last year, 2007 - I had some issues with how they did things and I saw not a single 'bou but what they did and especially how they did it ?
Did ya'll know that in June I believe it was they asked all hunters in the 2008/2009/2010 seasons to pony up another few hundred dollars because of fuel costs? And everyone did - and then they got gigged 2-3 months later ........ they're Indian/Native influenced/owned and as far as I'm concerned F. QUEBEC - I'll never spend another dime/dollar there for what they did and haven't done and if everyone else would maybe they'd wake up a bit.
Plenty of US states to go to and spend our money HERE

not knocking any thing ,only things i heard over years.
i remember dad going up there in fishing season for trout.
the outfitter said,SPROUL SR,BOY THEY ARE NICE FISH.
dad said,WE USE THOSE SIZE FISH FOR BAIT.
the trout were smaller than in pa.
i have friends that went there for bear hunt, 1 member slipped the outfitter 200 bucks, guess who got the black bear.
this is why i would spend money here in usa on hunt,mexico/canada are not first place i would go.
i deleted your bad word........

an easy fix for New Foundland would be to offer their citizens (or anyone for that matter) $10.00 a hide for yote hides. this would give people an incentive to shoot them and be alot cheaper than many other options of population control.

Roughly 20% of the caribou outfitters have declared bankruptcy this year. If you plan on coming to Quebec, you need to be very careful who you go with. I think gas prices will help those that are still in business, as will the increase in the value of the US dollar. This year has been a bloodbath in the caribou outfitting business for sure.
If you plan on going elsewhere, rule out New Foundland. Their herd is getting crushed by the yotes. There might not even be a caribou season in New Foundland next year.

Boycott the whole province because of one outfitter? Why not boycott the whole country. Ridiculous suggestion NJDiverDan, absolutely rediulous.
FWIW, this isn't really new news. This has been discussed on several threads on the bowsite. Read away here:

RE: DO NOT HUNT QUEBEC
Got back yesterday, trip of a lifetime! Stayed at Mirage and everything was excellent. Just a heads up that new ownership (american)has jacked up prices on everything, from gas, butchering, rates up 60% next year. Saw 5,000-10,000 animals per day. Lots of bulls had shed but good ones for patient hunters. Everyone at camp tagged out. When we left the caribou were crossing the main road from 380km down to 200km. Found lots of great little spots to get away from roads and all the hunters.

Thanks Far North!
Here in British Columbia many of the Outfits are Foreign (including American) owned.Blaming Quebec and threatening a Boycottingdue to one poor business, is both unfair and wrong.
Besides it looks like Campbery did indeed have the trip of a lifetime.
I'm sorry you lost out on your trip. I hope that some day you are able to get another opportunity to chase that dream. Maybe e-mail Campberry for some ideas.

Dobber et al who think trying to get some bad outfitting practices changed to help other hunters...
I and the rest of the 200+ hunters screwed in this are not trying to make the outfitters go bankrupt, but to make them change their practices. Jack Hume is already looking to get the deposits bonded for the protection of the hunters. That is good change as a result of hunters voices being heard. Typically, Quebec caribou outfitters required payment in full before the hunt, no credit card payments either. The hunters had no recourse if something happened. Hopefully, if some hunters decided to not spend their hard earned money in Quebec for a year or two, the Outfitters will start to implement changes like Jack Hume is trying to do.
