It’s been an unbelievable season so far and I must say I haven’t seen caribou hunting this good in a long time. Everyone tagged out early this past week and the boys are taking it easy and enjoying some great fishing and bird hunting except for John Bess of South Jordan, UT and Jane Jensen of Riverton, UT both adding each a nice big Arctic Black Bear to their hunt – I guess this will be a trip they will not soon forget! We have been seeing more and more black bear in recent years.
With most of the caribou located in the North Ungava Region for most of this past season we have been seeing a number of our less honorable southern competitors scrambling north trying to help fill tags for their guests anyway they can even if it means illegally flying and chasing game with helicopters and planes. An ALL PAINTED RED BEAVER FLOATPLANE from a southern operator was recently caught with guide, hunters and dead caribou by the game wardens from the Kuujjuaq office after our guides spotted a low flying aircraft hunting on one of our designated territories. I would suspect all will be getting stiff fines!

Talk about crazy weather we are having this past week - with changes from drizzle, rain and snow with very little sun - not very cold but difficult for the boys to stay dry while hunting. Charlie Camp hunters all tagged out after only 3 days of hunting with rifle and bow. North Camp nearly tagged out with a mix of rifle and bow hunters with only 4 caribou left to take out of a possible 16 caribou in only 2 days of a 6 day hunt – what a time to hunt caribou.
Our hunters experienced a 100% opportunity for success on caribou since we first opened on August 18th. All hunters saw caribou just about everyday and from what we know we are just starting to see the serious migrations. All indications are that the caribou are still heading East from the West and should hit the coast this coming week – split up and spread out in our region in smaller groups – offering ideal hunting opportunity particularly with the bow.

Weather has not been too cooperative but the hunting and fishing has been pretty good so far! Just got back from our Helen's Falls Camp on the George River with the wife and got into some great Salmon fishing. A big run of big males moved in during the high tides of August and offered fabulous dry fly action on the surface. The fish averaged 7 to 9 pounds with a good many in the 10 to 15 pound range. Char now entering the lakes and Peter our manager at North Camp reports a good number of big char have arrived at the lower rapids. Caribou coming in steady from the North with some animals making a 180 degree turn and heading back North and others keeping steady to a Southern course. Word is we have not seen the last of them and a good bunch of mainly bulls are heading our way. Caribou are certainly a strange bunch of critters that can't always make up their minds on what direction they will be taking from one day to the next. But so far it looks like we are going to have a great season. All the Best, Sammy Cantafio - Kuujjuaq, Quebec |

Weather finally changing for the better with a lot more sunny skies lately. Camps just about ready with some final touches to do and bringing in the groceries before our first caribou hunters show up this coming Wednesday. So far things are looking real good with reports from our North Camp seeing a good many caribou coming in from the North and heading South-East – should be arriving at our other camps latter this week. Going up with the plane tomorrow morning to get a better look and see what they are up to. Peter Wellman, our manager at North Camp reported seeing a good number of big bulls among the herd traveling relatively slow which is great – don’t really want them to move too quickly through our area. A good number of bears spotted during past couple of weeks with some camp damage but nothing too serious. Looks like we will have another great year with the ptarmigan – we are seeing quite a few birds – just starting to change colors. The Arctic Char are running up the rivers and the brook trout are now in full color. |
