If I could go on only one more expensive hunt...it would probably be back to Africa. But if I could go on two....it would be to hunt caribou. It's a BLAST. You gotta try it. The fishing is also fantastic! The country is beautifull to say the least. I hunted in Labrador in 2005 and killed 2 nice bulls fair and square with my habu recurve and a woodsman head. I killed the first from 8 yards. He ran out into a lake and died. The second I shot at around 20 yards. I was hunkered up behind a boulder in a natural funnel when 2 bulls approached just as the sun was highlighting their antlers. I shot the biggest of the two from a kneeling position and watched him go down. I've been going through photos of hunts lately and an having a great time remembering this one. If you have never tried bowhunting Caribou...DO IT! They are one of my favorite animals. Big, Pretty, and made for the bow and arrow!

Very Nice indeed jon, I was fortunate to be able to go to alaska in 2001. I hope one day I may be able to return. Heck I would be grinning ear to ear without the skoal.

Caribou are great. We went to Quebec in '06. 9 trad hunters took 13 bulls. I was one of the lucky ones with 2. It was an awesome hunt. I would like to do it again, maybe Alaska next time. We were lucky cause the outfitter we used was the one that folded last year and left a lot of hunter high and dry.

Dude--sign me up. When we going???

And just so I have this straight; Labrador is NOT the same as Quebec, right. I don't want to have anything to do with Quebec!

Really nice looking bulls Jon
