We’re hunting the Central Arctic Herd of Caribou in the Southern Slopes of the Brooks Range as they migrate to the Southern edge of their range for the winter months. Over the preceding 5 seasons, this herd has passed right through our hunting area during this time period, with thousands of animals pouring right through our camps! This 5 day, fully guided 1X1 hunt should give you plenty of time to harvest a quality Bull Caribou in some of the most beautiful mountains Alaska has to offer. Grizzlies can be harvested as a secondary animal if desired, a trophy fee will apply. Access is via company owned light aircraft equipped with tundra tires so we can access the most difficult landing areas. Accommodations will be comfortable 8X8 Arctic Ovens with cots to protect you from the freezing nights and snowfall that can come this time of year.

This hunt is for adventure hunters who want to experince the arctic winter. The hunting bring us into the remote arctic winter wilderness. It is hunting in extreme conditions with temperatures from around 0 to - 40 C. It is an adventure in the world's “last frontier”. We will start hunting for Musk Ox, and we will hunt by ATV/snowmobile and on foot on a spot and stalk hunt. Depending on conditions, we use ATVs or snowmobile to bring us into the area, and after spotting the animal, we will start a stalk on foot. You will often be close to big arctic Musk Ox during the hunt. The last part of the hunt is exciting in ways that sometimes it tests the hunter’s nerve system! We are hunting under extreme arctic winter conditions; therefore your physical health has to be good. We will be able to take the vehicle to the dead animal to pick up meat and trophy. After approaching a lonely bull or a family group, there will normally be an opportunity to find support for the rifle on rocks or small hills when you are shooting. After a succesful Muskox hunting, we start hunting Caribou, polar fox, polar hare and ptarmigan. If you succeed with all of the five species you have shot what we call ''The Arctic Five''! To be mentioned: the Polar Fox can’t be exported due to rabies risk and the Caribou is not a big trophy at this time of year – but still ''The Arctic Five'' is ''The Arctic Five''!

Our hunt starts on Monday. If you are flying into Newfoundland via Deer Lake Regional Airport, plan to arrive on Saturday. We can arrange hotel bookings and you pay upon check-out. On Sunday, ground transportation will be provided to Peter Stride’s Pond, from where we fly you into Spruce Pond. On-site transportation is provided by boats and Argos. The use of boats allow us cross ponds to get to desired hunting grounds quickly and easily. Our boats are strategically placed to give guests easy access to prime hunting areas. The Argos are hardy vehicles ideally suited to get through the roughest terrain in the area, yet still be able to accommodate a guide, hunter and their animal. Moose is Newfoundland’s most popular big game animal and can weigh up to 1,200 lbs. With some of the highest moose populations in North America, it’s no wonder that Newfoundland is the destination for serious big game hunters. You will hunt from our main lodge or one of our spike camps. We mainly use spot and stalk technique. Let our experienced guides call out a moose on your next hunt with us. A combination of genetics, excellent habitat and very low hunting pressure make the Newfoundland Black Bear bigger than any of its North American cousins. The fall bear hunt starts the second week of September and can be pursued in combination with moose, woodland caribou or both. Please note: This is offered as a stumble-on hunt only, with no baits. The Woodland Caribou inhabiting Newfoundland are the southernmost on the continent and this is the only place in the world where this species can be legally harvested. Attention Hunters: Because of declining animal populations, Newfoundland outfitters have had their licence allocations reduced. As a result we have an extremely limited number of caribou licences available and these are sold on a first-come basis.

If you have a physical condition that prevents you from walking far, please make us aware when you book a hunt and we can put you in a camp that generally doesn’t require as much physical exertion. Normally each hunter has his own base camp and hunts directly from there; but where it is feasible, the hunter might spike out with his guide. In most cases, the main camps are situated on the shores of lakes or rivers.

Mountain caribou

In the far north, among the rolling plateaus, live the largest of the Caribou species, the Mountain Caribou. Bulls can weigh up to 650 pounds and have heavy, dark coloured antlers and beautiful white manes. All caribou hunts will be 10 days in duration and will be spot and stalk in the northern part of our Liard River Concession. These animals are found in good numbers, and with a steady population of resident animals, success rates are high. They can be hunted on their own or make an affordable add on to your Moose hunt. Caribou in our area live in gentler terrain then in many other regions and this hunt can be enjoyed by almost anybody. These hunts are all ATV supported and you will be staying in a remote cabin camp. Depending on weather or herd location there is a chance you will need to spike out occasionally, but this is rare. If you’re ready to add a Mountain Caribou to your trophy room, please contact us for available dates and get ready for a hunt you’ll never forget. Please note that we cannot control the weather. We will do everything possible to get you out hunting on schedule, but please be patient if adverse weather conditions delay charter flights. The pilots are only concerned with your safety. *Add on Black Bear for $180 U.S. license plus $1,500 U.S. trophy fee.

Includes wolf and fishing, $2,000 trophy fee for black bear if added Includes first antlered animal (moose or caribou) $5,000 trophy fee for 2nd antlered animal (moose or caribou) Hunting methods include 4×4 from base camp, horseback or fly-in backpack. Black bear can be hunted on any fall hunt on a trophy fee basis. The average antler spread of our moose is 45-55 inches with the occasional one reaching 60 inches. The vastness of our guide territory allows us to offer several different types of moose hunts without sacrificing the quality of the hunt or the quality of the moose. Out of base camp we can offer hunts for moose from 4×4, riverboat, tree-stand or on foot that can be tailored to anyone regardless of age or physical ability. Our caribou rival any in North America for trophy quality; however, we do not have the density in our area to offer too many exclusive caribou hunts. It is our preference to hunt caribou in combination with other species on backcountry horseback hunt. If you wish to hunt caribou as a single species you have to be prepared to spend a lot of time in the saddle traveling the high plateaus and ridges glassing for that big bull. All caribou harvested must be 5 points or better to ensure trophy quality. In the back country we can hunt for moose as a classic mountain horseback hunt or fly in by float plane and hunt moose from a remote drop camp. A deposit of 33% is required to book a trip. A 2nd deposit of 33% plus license and tag funds are due: April 1st for Spring Hunts June 1st for Fall hunts. The remaining balance is due upon arrival in camp. Final payment must be in cash, certified cheque, or wire transfer*. Personal checks will not be accepted as final payment and your hunt will not start until the hunt is paid for in full.

Big game hunting for Woodland Caribou is allowable only in Newfoundland. We hunt the Middle Ridge herd - the largest woodland caribou herd and the one with the highest proportion of trophy class animals. Large males, weighing upwards of 500 lbs. and sporting an impressive mahogany colored antlered crown is beautiful to see and a challenge to hunt. The mating period for caribou usually occurs during the period early October to mid November. 25% of the woodland caribou taken here are record book specimens. Woodland caribou hunting is akin to moose hunting in that this caribou shares a large portion of its range with moose, and is relatively sedentary, making only short migrations to rutting range and winter range. Woodland caribou hunting is truly an enjoyable experience, and for us a premium big game hunting adventure. Each day of woodland caribou hunting begins with an early rise and a hearty breakfast. As with moose hunting, you will leave camp just as the dawn begins to show. Prime woodland caribou hunting areas are within a short walk, and sometimes caribou will emerge from the bush within rock throwing distance from the hunting lodge, or on the beach in front of the hunting lodge. If that doesn't happen, your hunt package includes one return helicopter trip to the major rutting areas. We are located on the route followed by the famous British hunter and traveler John G. Millais who returned to Newfoundland in 1904 to hunt woodland caribou because of hunting stories he had been told previously while hunting elsewhere in Newfoundland. His account of his experiences was recorded in his book "Newfoundland and its untrodden ways." You will be able to hunt this same ground, virtually unchanged. Rifles of 30 caliber and loaded with 180 grain bullets are proven effective for woodland caribou hunting. CARIBOU HUNTING SUCCESS RATE = 95% (past four years))
