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.


Fishing and bird hunting after a successful caribou hunt still providing the icing on the cake for most of our hunters. Great fishing for brook trout, lake trout and Arctic char is available at all camps as well as the fabulous ptarmigan hunting where seeing upwards of 1000 birds a day is not uncommon. And let’s not forget the occasional Arctic black bear that like to follow the caribou.
 
Well it is time to get to work preparing equipment and supplies for tomorrow’s flight – hope this weather changes for the better – I will get back to you soon.
