today's show is on hunting Labrador Quebec caribou
I will actually hunt with a bow and then extend my season and hunt with a rifle
I got Guy and Cameron Haynes and I go along with these two guys my knee is
shot I'm dragging it through the tundra
I see this caribou on the ridge it's the biggest care blow ever seen in
my life and of course I'm not caribou connoisseur but I seen some of my dad
there was three or four Bulls there he was he was just like he was big big and I sneak up
there on him but he was too far away 45 yards with a recurve I've had a wheel
bow slam dunk maybe and so I had to let him go didn't go but and we noticed he had
really good yet are really really good fronts and bezels were like 12 points on
one side 16 on the other but on his back he had one of the back scratchers had to
be this long
when you do just hold off and wait until we find a really exceptional trophy
caribou the bugs are real bad black flies and so the caribou of going into
the wind keeping them off themselves I set my sights pretty high on taking a
boone and crockett trophy caribou so you know you see me here passing up on
several bulls but I will go home without taking a bull caribou if it means not
finding that true trophy you're the only guy in camp that had a tag left yeah
that morning we were to leave the camp right I'm sitting there everybody else
waking up no everybody's just sleeping ray sleeps it in because we're going out
that day and I hear a rap rap looking on the door and Carl Carl skipper skipper
they're migrating they're migrating here come on they're all around us they're
all around camp wake up stay get around got my stuff on and got my little bow
and we went up the river about quarter mile and it was a it was a big lookout
and down below us was the river and these caribou were coming and they were
swimming the river and coming on our side
well folks we've been watching hundreds of caribou come across here this morning
it got real cloudy last night cooled off and here they come this is one of their
major crossings here with Safari Nordik camp and it's just gonna be a matter of
time before a good old bull comes I put my binoculars up and I go holy Crump
it's a one I couldn't get on three days earlier and that doesn't happen you
don't like it you know you know just bump into the same caribou out there's
about 50 head of cows and bulls and behind is this big white monster of a
bull Cameron got up with me and he's up there too and he was filming
he was filming me and camera goes maybe you should shot it with a rifle and I go they're
coming right towards it I go I don't have one so our trusty buddy
Cantrell well I got a gun and it's really on when I left Wyoming
you could poke a prairie dogs eye out with ya cool well she you know the
daughter's gun his daughters gun so he gives me the gun I got a dead rest
than this caribou this is all these caribou crossed the river and the big
ones the last one he come to the river looked around and here's what happened
this is how smart you know you think caribou was dumb and maybe they are most
of them are but this one he gets ready to go over there the others had crossed over
he got ready to swim he waded in what looked at their body language the other
caribou looking up in the rocks he said something's fishy
turn around backed out start trotting he's the only one left on that side of
the river out of 2,000 caribou this big sucker he's going to a different
crossing going to a different crossing a quarter mile upstream and so I shot
and the bullet landed in the river and sprayed him with water splash just like
a torpedo yeah maybe he shook it off his face I go oh I am really in trouble
in that he spun around how far was it Oh prepare to my archery target some
between 80 and 120 let's say and so he shook his head and he said I'm not gonna
go there I am just going away and he he walked up to the bank : Carl's the
skipper you're too low way too low so the next one you put the top of his
antlers in the bottom of the scope right and hit him right in the back any good
skipper watch out
he just staggered there in the second or third shot I you know I didn't but the
fourth shot he went down this shooting way low yeah well just shoot and shoot
it six inches over there you go that's it
deep down there beautiful animal what wow folks he is huge he was coming over
with all these others this is crossing we've been watching all morning and it's
the last morning of our hunt and it was unbelievable this is quite the bull
they're talking him going maybe 400 so let's go over and take a look at him
it's quite the bull
Oh crumb look at that Carl I've never seen a bull that big ever any pictures
or anything that's gorgeous it's huge trouble on this thing oh my
gosh oh it's must be 16 18 inches high so we
get this caribou put it on a coos rack put it on 727 and head back to
montreal montreal and we get there and okay
you can't bust the skull okay if you want to get it measured and so we show
up there at the airport like 6:00 in the morning with this humungous I mean you
can't believe shrink-wrapped in the white trunk rack a 450 shrunk crap on a
cart what we land through Montreal Airport and they have a machine that you
x-ray scanner to make sure that every you know you scan stuff through wow it
won't fit in the x-ray it was a woman she's okay we're gonna cut into that no
she said we have to unwrap it to unwrap it it's been three days since you killed
it in the velvet by then and it's 95 degrees in Montreal and it I don't know
if it's been in a freezer all night or what you don't want to unwrap that then
she gets really like curious like oh really what's in there and right about
then two maggots fell on the floor in a room of 2,000 people waiting to get out
of their play and they start squishing across the floor squeeze squeeze squeeze
squeeze squeeze and she was like I could see our face she's like yeah we don't
unwrap that she wouldn't got someone above her and they just caught they just
cut a slit like three layers bezel and wiped it pulling the sniffer pads in
there oh you're good to go get it the hell out here they they had to take it
and put it on an elevator and it goes down and I turned the guy says it will
be a miracle if this shows up in Billings Montana like this
20 inch shovel goes from here clear down to there thanks Carl this is
unbelievable growth 444 was all set and after all of that 444 that was a heck
of a trip what a gorgeous bull I'll never I'll
never take a bull this big ever again
