The abundance of caribou also makes it possible to take the time to smell the flowers to thoroughly absorb the unique culture of the Inuit and the nature of their land. It's an unforgettable experience.

The climate
The weather in the Ungava region can be changeable and we suggest hunters come prepared for sunshine. rain and snow. During late August and early September conditions are generally more stable than at the end of the month, but it's always a good idea to expect all eventualities. Daytime temperatures during the first half of September range from about 50 degrees (Fahrenheit) sometimes down to the freezing point. Snow squalls are occasionally encountered but most precipitation is in the form of rain.

Past the middle of September daytime temperatures range from about 45 degrees on warmer days down below freezing on cooler days. Snow squalls are frequent and there's always a chance of a blizzard. On occasion, the charter planes are grounded due to bad weather and hunters should be prepared to come out a few days later than scheduled. Despite these drawbacks. the last half of September and early October can provide some excellent trophy hunting.

The layering concept works well here. Start with a wool sweater for the warmer days. This can be covered by either a down vest or rain gear when the weather turns foul, Over this you can wear a heavier down coat for cold weather. MI of these Items can be easily carried in a day pack.
