Region 5 Caribou

Who here has hunted them? Got any info you'd be willing to share? Thought if nothing else it might be fun to go and see if I could at least get a look at one.

let me know if you need a partner, that would be a hell of a hunt and a great trip in itself. I would also imagine that the population would be pretty well stocked with not a ton of pressure.

i did some work near the outer areas of their range and have seen plenty of them. A girl from work does horse back camping trips up there every year and says there are lots, and lots of moose as well. If you have the time and horse power to get in you should not have a problem finding one.

yes there are a lot of moose ..........more NW than the BOU..long way to get a moose anywhere...

Figured it would be a horse trip which is no biggie. Ever since seeing the bull proguide66 got for one of Shockeys hunters a few years back I've been thinking more and more of a caribou hunt and thought it might be cool to go mid-province rather than a northern hunt. A guide I used to work for told me about finding real old 'bou sheds on Nine Mile and China Head when he was a kid in the early '60s so aparently they had a much larger range at one time. Pictures anyone?
