Caribou

Hunt CU119

WORLD CLASS MOUNTAIN CARIBOU
We work with 2 outfitters in the Northwest Territories that offer premier mountain caribou hunts. 2011 was a tougher than normal season. The numbers were high, but the trophy quality was down on the upper end. Success generally runs at or near 100% on bulls with average gross scores of 375 to 380 Boone and Crockett and typically about 25% score over the 390 record-book minimum. Both outfits will typically take 22 to 30 bulls per year, either on straight caribou hunts or as extra animals on the sheep and moose hunts. Both hunts require a roundtrip charter out of Norman Wells priced close to $1,000.

This outfitter takes about 30 bulls per season, including quite a few record book bulls over 400 inches and the best bull of 2011 grossed 420. Typically the later hunts produce the better bulls and they finish in mid-October. 7-day backpack hunts are priced at $7,500 guided 2x1 plus licenses and tax. Caribou can be taken on a $4,000 trophy fee as add-ons for his sheep and moose hunts. He normally starts hunting caribou in this 9,000 square mile area in late August.
