If I could go on only one more expensive hunt...it would probably be back to Africa.  But if I could go on two....it would be to hunt caribou.  It's a BLAST. You gotta try it. The fishing is also fantastic!  The country is beautifull to say the least.  I hunted in Labrador in 2005 and killed 2 nice bulls fair and square with my habu recurve and a woodsman head. I killed the first from 8 yards. He ran out into a lake and died.  The second I shot at around 20 yards.  I was hunkered up behind a boulder in a natural funnel when  2 bulls approached just as the sun was highlighting their antlers.  I shot the biggest of the two from a kneeling position and watched him go down.  I've been going through photos of hunts lately and an having a great time remembering this one.  If you have never tried bowhunting Caribou...DO IT!  They are one of my favorite animals.  Big, Pretty, and made for the bow and arrow!    [/IMG]

Please excuse the big wad of skoal in my mouth in the second pic!

Caribou are cool!!

Very cool!  Thanks for sharing!  :cool:

Genuine message well received. Nice bulls.

Very Nice indeed jon, I was fortunate to be able to go to alaska in 2001. I hope one day I may be able to return. Heck I would be grinning ear to ear without the skoal.  

Very nice very nice.

That's awesome Jon!

I am long time that I dream a Caribu hunt,I would like to go with some TGers.

With a great wife like that with you who would want to be anywhere else,and nice "Bou by the way!LOL

Jon,

Good for you! Caribou bowhunt has my interest as well.

Caribou are great. We went to Quebec in '06. 9 trad hunters took 13 bulls. I was one of the lucky ones with 2. It was an awesome hunt. I would like to do it again, maybe Alaska next time. We were lucky cause the outfitter we used was the one that folded last year and left a lot of hunter high and dry.

One hunt i would love to do....very cool!  nice pics, and great story

That was a fun hunt. I was there the week after you!
saw some of the biggest darn bulls ever. Killed a decent one missed another! I want to go back really bad..........

Jon: By chance did  you go with 3rivers?

Very nice, thanks for the inspiration.

Jon

I never saw those pics...nice bulls.  I assume you moved?  I was surprised to get that sat phone call....was that was the same hunt?

R

Dude--sign me up.  When we going???

And just so I have this straight; Labrador is NOT the same as Quebec, right.  I don't want to have anything to do with Quebec!

Really nice looking bulls Jon
