Trophies and meat
Once the animal is down our guides will field dress, quarter and pack it back to camp where it is hung In a screened meat house. There is someone on hand at each camp who will cape out the trophy, leaving plenty of skin for a good shoulder mount. We do our best to prepare the hides for you. but occasionally the work load and weather may make it impossible to flesh them properly. In this case, we will salt them well and roll the skin so that it can be later fleshed by your taxidermist or tanner.

Physical condition and success
Since caribou roam the tundra ridges. the success of any caribou hunt is directly dependent on the hunter. Even where freighter canoes are used to find the animals, some degree of conditioning is nevertheless advisable. Weather and luck may combine to provide an easy hunt. but the quest for a record-book bull requires that the hunter be In good physical condition and be able to shoot accurately at ranges out to 300 yards.

Bands of caribou are often seen at the water's edge or actually swimming on open water. but the best bulls usually follow the ridges, so it's important that the hunter be able to do some hiking across the open tundra. We recommend you undertake a program of physical conditioning several weeks prior to your hunt. It pays off in the long run by making your stay more enjoyable.

Lake trout, brook trout and Arctic char are the principal sport fish found in this region. We suggest hunters bring along a medium action spinning rod and reel loaded with eight or ten pound test mono filament if they plan to do any fishing. Most silver spoons and spinners work well and our favorites are the three-inch Daredevils, the number three Mepps Aglia and the Nebco Pixie.
