Hunting Season
Caribou hunting season runs from August 2nd through September 20th. This is the most consistent caribou herd, and they always arrive like clockwork on August 1st or 2nd.

Hunting Method
You will hunt hard from camp on foot spot-and-stalk style. Expect to put in long days and see lots of caribou. Tundra is difficult to walk in. Arrive in good shape.

Success Rates and Trophy Quality
The secret to success is location, location, location! Caribou herds are tracked daily by air and this information is passed on to the guides. 300″+ bulls are definitely possible on this hunt if the hunter is willing to pass on smaller bulls. Success rate on this hunt is at 95%, opportunity rates are 98%. It is important to stay mobile on this hunt so you can intercept a herd as it moves.

Combo Opportunities
While you are spot and stalk hunting for trophy caribou, it isn’t uncommon to spot an arctic grizzly… We also recommend that you purchase a wolf tag as well.
