Use whatever you would use for pheasant, grouse or other small game. #6 shot is plenty. Some guys I know have use slingshots in the past if you can get them. The cree use rocks to get them. U can get pretty close to them. I wouldn't bring a BB or pellet pistol. It might get you into some problems at the border. Even Conservation may get nervous when they see a pistol because from a distance you cannot if some of them are real or not and of course in Canada you cannot hunt with or possess a real pistol or revolver other than at a shooting range or at home. I'm bringing a sling shot and my Stoeger o/u .410.

We arrive at Mirage late Thursday or early Friday. We'll be staying in the main lodge in the deluxe rooms.Those of you getting there Tuesday should have your tags filled by then and I expect a full report. It should be pretty good hunting for the next few weeks unless they take off like a rocket. That'skind of what happened last year. Hopefully they will spread out and move through gradually this year in a more normal migration pattern.

Just on my way back from Kiskimaastakin. Six in our group. Shot twelve caribou in one day. At approximately 540km.

Not sure but think I spoke with you there in the game room that night.
All in our group whohad not tagged out did tag out on Sunday. We came home with 36 caribou-some quite nice.
