Thank you for sharing your hunt with us. A caribou hunt is my #1 hunt goal.

If you have a chance could you please post some pics of your 56" two piece A&H ?

Thank you,
Chad

what an adventure.  I went to Quebec and only got one ptarmigan.  We sauteed it in butter with garlic, yummm! oh about $895 a bite.

That is excellent!  Lots of guys head up there for caribou but head home frustrated. Caribou are one animal I believe I would hunt every year if I could afford it!  Congrats again!

Great job!  Caribou are definately on my list, and I can only hope to have success nearly as good as yours.  Congratulations!

Who was your Outfitter. I was up there last year with Explo Sylva, and we got the total S**** job. They put us in a fishing camp, and flew some rich rifle hunters who booked after us to the main camp that the herd was migrating through. We landed on Tuesday in this camp and they did not fly us into the herd until Friday. Then to top it off we landed in the area of the herd at 2:00 pm and were only aloud to hunt until 4:00 pm, so we could get back to the plane. That was only Two hours of hunting for $5,000. I would love to go back, just with a better outfitter.

I thank you all for the nice words.

I will be editing the video during the weekend and soon will post it so I can share it with all.

As requested, I will also send pics of the bow.

I was highly recommended by an outfitter friend from Mexico to go with Kevin Mattice and he owns the High North Outfitting.  http://www.highnorthoutfitting.com/  It is a small outfitting business (Max 8 hunters in camp) but focused on great service and quality. You can look up his packages online.

He set us up with one of his guides called "Chip" who was also a bowhunter and has hunted many years and gotten plenty of caribou with the bow. He knew exactly how to work with the terrain and wind conditions to get the best out of each stalk we did. If it was not for him, I might have come back empty handed.  

Here are the three that guided the group sitting for the plane to come and pick us up the last day and waiting for the next group to arrive. Chip (my guide) is sitting on the left, Jayme is on the center and owner Kevin (bearded).
     

Although Kevin did said to me when we booked that it was a tough hunt to make with the bow, and specially traditional bow, that he will do his best to try to get me a shot oportunity.

They also had Bruce, as the cook, who was amazing at the kitchen. One of the best cook's I've ever had in a camp. Homemade cookies, apple pies, soups, Caribou lasagna, man....just delicious food!

Highly recemended!
