nice caribou spooks, colourful foliage this time of the year .
not much cover for a close up stalk ,mate .
how long was your shot ?
do they cook up good ?
thanks for showing us ,mate

 

[Spooksar]

First one was 125 yards second was 295 yards.
They taste very good
Beautiful Country for sure, but thank god there was a breeze most of the time, the sand flies where bad,

 

[bluey]

would that be a barren ground caribou ,mountain or labradour?

excuse my ignorance ,but I wouldn't know >>>>
ive been invited on a barren ground hunt next month ,but im too tied up with family commitments for the next 6 weeks .

First one was with a 270 WBY, second with a 30/378 WBY. I ended up with dirt in my rifle that jammed it, I borrowed my hunting partners rifle to shoot the second one. Need to remember a muzzle condemn, ended up with sand on the bolt face, it wouldn't close. My partner shot his then I grabbed his rifle and went after mine.

Well done Spooksar. I sense an AH group caribou hunt in the making.

 

[ActionBob]

I'm in if the schedule works!

Caribou? Sounds like fun. Let me know if some extra room comes available..... Might be possible.
Not to derail the thread. Nice caribou. Congrats. Looks like a good time.

Nice job Spooksar, two good looking bou's. When I go off hunting there is always a piece of black electrical tape over the muzzle, that way nothing gets in and there is no need to take it off before shooting.

Reminds me of the first hunt I ever made outside of the US when I hunted with Jack Hume in Quebec. I'm not familiar with Nunavut so I googled it to find out it's a new territory of Canada in the Northwest Territory. They listed several types of caribou there. Is yours a Barren Ground Caribou? the same as found in the Northwest Territory, and different then the Alaska/Yukon Barren Ground Caribou?

Just FYI Northwest Territory was split. Nunavut is a NEW territory.

I think Spooksar said he was Barren Ground hunting. They are the same variety as Yukon and AK.

AH Group Hunt? Sounds fun.

 

[Spooksar]

Barren ground caribou, same as Yukon and Alaska
