the trip to the Canadian Arctic is long a full week in caribou camp awaits for
airplane legs and a final scenic flight later we finally arrived at camp
with our bows dialed in I'm on a mission to take a nice archery bull on this trip
recent die offs and these migrating caribou herds have slowed the hunting
down for the last several years but the population has finally begun to rebound
and the hunters can once again hold licenses for two bulls
big bull headed our way looks like three bulls one of them looks
pretty good big white bull turns in at the top usually you know not always but
usually those big white bulls that look white in color older can't really tell
the horn size you always got to kind of go by the body size and shape and color
those big blocky white bulls are usually pretty good chance it's a good one so
that one is definitely that so we're gonna go get a little closer look
as we ease closer to the buls the wind suddenly spins and so does our advantage
unfortunately our trip landed in the midst of a massive Arctic heatwave
temperatures reached up to 90 degrees which is very unusual for this time of
year this far north the biting black flies are swarming and in this heat the
caribou are holding tight to their beds making the bowhunting very tough
from 87 degrees yesterday to 47 and raining so welcome to the Arctic
it's the last day of the hunt luckily cooler weather has arrived and
the migrating caribou are back on the move again
we finally glass up this nice bull bedded in the middle of a swamp with
virtually no cover to allow us to get within bow range our partner Colin
decides to try something a little unorthodox what you're about to see is
something just short of amazing something I never thought would work
Collins got sneaked up on this hill
Collin reaches the hilltop and convinces the curious bull to leave his protected
swampy bed
the bull came across there just came in on a string followed Collin curious
curiosity killed the cat and that bull
that was one of the craziest stocks I've ever had i have never had someone follow have a caribou or
any animal follow someone right past me though I've seen him do it before I
tried it I've never tried it with a hunter
got nice beams beds are good right here we are in the final day of the hunt and
we got this guy on the ground a really nice archery bull with a bow and arrow
47 yards this is a nice representative of a Quebec Labrador bull remember fair
chase is the only way to hunt and take trophy big game will see you right here
