THE GREAT MIGRATION OF THE CARIBOU

For years, the summer migration routes of caribou of the legendary George River Herd changed very little. Recently however, things have changed a lot. It is now difficult to predict where those caribou will be during the hunting season. To keep up with this ever changing migration, we often take a last-minute decision right at the floatplane base at Squaw Lake about which area we must hunt. The choice of a camp site is guided by the latest available information about the location of the main caribou herds, and the direction they are taking. Another important factor for a successful hunt is to have access to enough hunting sites to be able to move a group of hunters from one location to another more productive area. Think about that when booking your next caribou hunt in northern Quebec.

Our Camps are Dedicated to Archery Hunting

The recent changes in the migration pattern of the Quebec-Labrador caribou forced us to review our hunting methods in order to give our bowhunters the best hunting opportunities. We settled for a simple but efficient strategy: our camps will be moved during the hunting season between sites prepared in advance, depending on where the herds are located. Most camp sites are 30 to 100 miles apart, most are located along the major migration trails. For more informations, go to our Frequently Asked Questions
