caribou hunt oportunities

[jim]

One of my hunting partners, is trying to set up a caribou hunt for a few of us old guys , before we die! Anyone have experience with Quebec outfitters? Seems to be a real crap shoot out there.

I hunted with Club Chambeaux http://www.clubchambeaux.com/ in fall 2008. All you did was drive to Montreal and everything was taken care of after that. It was the easiest hunt I was ever on. You fly to Shefferville Quebec in a large plane, then transfer to smaller Otters and Beavers to the various camps. They have a couple dozen camps and they choose which one you go to depending on the migration. They will move you later in the week if your camp are not seeing caribou. All 10 hunters in my camp shot nice bulls....4 of the hunters (from Texas) used archery equipment!! Canadians can often make a "cash deal" which is substantial less than the advertised price....especially a few weeks before the season starts. Have a rifle which has a good scope and can shoot to 300 yards...first bull I shot was at 60 yards....second was 280 yards. But you need to check out how the caribou herds are doing...a friend went 2-3 years ago and the numbers were way down. It was a great hunt.....everyone would enjoy it....and the scenery was amazing.
