Caribou Hunting In Quebec Canada
In Pursuit of Quebec Caribou: Hunting the George
River or Leaf River Migrating Herds
The trio of hunting buddies barely noticed the sullen clouds gathering overhead in what once had been clear blue early morning Canadian sky. The quickening wind went unnoticed too. You don't notice such things when caribou hunting in Quebec.
They were perched on the crest of the ridge just to the south of their primitive tent camp.

All were eagerly glassing the vast expanse that lay in front of them. Straining their eyes for any sign of caribou on the move. Donald had been the first to spot the meandering brown string of antlered beasts moving down the hillside off in the distance. Suddenly Matthew Cormanick, Donald Gary, and Fred Ward were so excited they almost wet themselves. So this is what Quebec caribou hunting is all about, hey? |
At that moment, as the snow flakes swirled about, they were about to be initiated as official members of the Quebec caribou hunt.
What made this all the better is knowing caribou hunting in Quebec can be a hit or miss affair. Yet amazingly what had been barren landscape just the day before was suddenly alive with caribou. All seemingly heading their way.
Depending on who you talk to the George River caribou herd in Quebec numbers somewhere in the neighborhood of 700,000 animals. Unless you've witnessed it first hand you have no idea the impact it makes on you.
The trio waited. Fingers itching to take a shot. But on the advice of their Inuit guide, Harry, they held off.
Distances are hard to judge on the open tundra.
You've got no point of reference.
There's really nothing in all that openness to compare anything to.
Matthew Cormanick whispered when his range finder indicated they were 85 yards away. Three collective pulses quickened.
Seven or eight minutes later Fred Ward placed the crosshairs of his .270 on a truly awesome bull. Easily the largest he had ever seen. Setting up just behind its shoulder he squeezed. The thump he heard told him the bullet had hit home. The fact that big bull didn't run more than 65 yards before collapsing confirmed it.
Viola! Another successful Quebec caribou hunting experience to be cherished for a lifetime.
