This tremendous growth has been accompanied by drastic changes in their migration patterns, much to the dismay of hunters who based their activities on the now deserted massing grounds along the George River. A new migration pattern has developed and the animals now move further north, closer to the shores of Ungava Bay, to a new massing area a short ways southwest of Kuujjuaq (Fort Chimo).

At the peak of the massing, close to half a million caribou use the Koksoak-Leaf River massing area. The first bands arrive in early August and the trickle grows to a flood by early September. This massing behavior is preparatory to the October nut and so the mature bulls carry fully developed antlers.

This area is located a hop, skip and jump from the Arctic Adventures base of operations in the Inuit community of Kuujjuaq, on the south western shore of Quebec's Ungava Bay. The community is served with daily commercial jet service to and from Montreal International Airport (Dorval), some 900 miles, or two hours and fifteen minutes flight-time, to the south. From Kuujjuaq you embark on the final leg of your journey to the land of the Quebec-Labrador caribou, a comfortable jaunt by charter plane to a carefully selected drop camp. In case inclement weather necessitates a delay during your transfer In Kuujjuaq, we'll provide you with comfortable accommodation- that's on the house

These sites are drop camps in the true sense of the word. Each location is judiciously selected prior to your arrival to ensure that the caribou herds are indeed to be found within hunting distance of the camp. We strongly believe that you deserve every reasonable chance to collect a pair of true trophy Quebec-Labrador caribou bulls, and it's our job to do our best to make this happen. All our sites are located in an isolated area of the extreme northern Ungava barrens, where intrusion from other hunters from camps further south is unlikely In the open tundra, it's fairly easy to find your way around without a guide and we supply each hunter with a map of the territory.

At each camp you will find a camp manager, a boat and motor with fuel, an ATV vehicle, a two-way radio for communication with our base, a first aid kit and all the basic necessities. The camps are oil heated, spacious and well equipped with a propane range for cooling. All cooking and eating utensils are available along with a copious supply of food for each group.

While we want to stress that our outpost camps are strictly a hunting operation, early season hunters may want to take along a pack rod and some lures since the waters of the region teem with trout and char The fishing provides a wonderful change of pace either during the hunt itself or after you have tagged your two caribou. And freshly-caught trout and char offer a tasty variety to your meals at camp.

The Quebec Labrador caribou bull is, beyond any doubt, one of the world's finest trophy animals. Close your eyes and imagine, if you will, the sight of a big, white-maned bachelor bull down along the flank of a barren tundra mountain, his massive back-swept antlers glinting in the warm light of the afternoon sun. Chances are good he'll make the book, but in this strange land beyond the tree line, you can afford to linger a while to engrave the moment forever in your mind.

They're the Pros!
At Arctic Adventures Semi-Guided Outpost Caribou Camps our credo is service.
