Outfitter #1, Northwest Territories
For centuries man has hunted the vast treeless habitat of the
Central Canadian Barren Ground Caribou. You can now be part of this ancient rite
on the uninhabitaed frontier. We speak your language, take care of you, and
know what you want! Arctic grizzly, muskox, wolf, wolverine, ptarmigan hunting,
trophy fishing and
This is the best combination of game,
service,
accommodations and pure adventure in the NWT
barrenlands.
Operating in an absolutely remote
location, you will be amazed at the abundance of game, fish and exhilarating
scenery!
Obstruction Rapids our main camp is unparalleled in its success
rate. Year after year, approx. 90% of our clients
have taken Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young trophies, and 6 of the top 11
Safari Club trophies! Plus we still hold the worlds records for Safari Club and Longhunt
(blackpowder). No other outfitter can match our consistent track record,
so why look elsewhere? At 185 miles north of Yellowknife, (50 miles south of
the Arctic circle) with access only by air, this camp is situated on a high
bluff overlooking Lake Providence.
It is not uncommon to have thousands caribou within 3 miles of the
main camp. 2008 and 2009 are booking up quickly with repeat hunters, so if you
want to hunt in the immediate future, do not put off your booking/reservation
too long.
Only two miles away lies the historic Caribou crossing... the only one available
to the animals in 145 miles of the Coppermine River. This assures you of
plentiful animals in the area. We expect you to see at least 1,000 caribou from
which to make a selection, and at times many more! You will be accompanied by
one of our guides, all of which are tops in their ability to field score and
assist you in any way.
This picture is from opening day 2005 season
It is not uncommon to see over 15,000 caribou walk through our camp.
Our price for 2008 is $6,100 US, with dates being mid August through to late September . Several hunt periods are already filled, so please do not lose out and make your reservation now! This packaged is priced out of Yellowknife NWT, so plan accordingly. At this time prices for 2009 will be $6350 US .
The clients we have sent from `98 - `07 all say they want to go back and
hunt with Barry again. Several have returned many times with a 100%
success rate in all years.
Wolf and wolverine are seen frequently and occasionally taken;
ptarmigan are always found behind the camp and make for some interesting sport
in the evening.
FANTASTIC FISHING
Across the lake from camp is an ancient Inuit ( Eskimo ) campsite, one of the
largest known! Further down the lake stand Inukshuks, the eerie stone left
behind by ancient cultures thousands of years ago! For those of you interested
in the Sir John Franklin expedition of 1821, we have located the grave of one of
his men, Mr. Hood. You will want to bring lots of film to capture your memories
and the tranquillity of the Barren-grounds, resplendent in its kaleidoscope of
autumn colors.
Huge Lake Trout (biggest was 47 pounds, Arctic Grayling averaged 3+
pounds, and ravenous Northern Pike (4 feet in length) abound in the waters of
Lake Providence. 45 miles in length it is virtually virgin fishing and will
thrill you with many hours of pure excitement. By practicing catch-and-release,
you will be assured of great fishing for eternity. We're confident that record-
size fish will continue to be taken by our sportsmen! "Where else can you catch
over 100 fish in an afternoon?"
Picture a vibrant sunset every evening and as darkness encroaches, the sky comes alive in a blaze of glory... the famous Aurora Borealis... the Northern Lights. Bring lots of film to record your memories.

Quebec Outfitter #1, N. Quebec
This company offers one of the highest success rates for caribou hunts in Quebec.
When you are comparing the top caribou lodges in Quebec this one has to be on your list.
If you are looking for the complete package of top rated service with terrific
success this is the Quebec operation you have to consider.
Alain began operating his own lodge in 1997. He
knew what to took to offer a top quality hunt along with customer service. If
there is a more respected outfitter in Quebec then Alain let us know. He has
mutual respect from past clients as well as his fellow outfitter competitors.
Leaf River Hunt:
The Leaf
River area of Northern Quebec provides trophy hunting that is unique and
unmatched.
Why??? No hunting pressure is the main reason. This is an
isolated region that presents tough challenges that many outfitters prefer to
avoid. Alain Tardif and several of his top guides have hunted the Leaf and they
know how to operate in this remote area. The trophy is incredible and we are
confident that this will be the hunt of a lifetime. In 2000 we built a new VIP
camp that accommodates 6 guests (3 guides) hunting the Leaf River Herd priced at
$6,695 US.
Whale River Camps: You can also enjoy very good fishing at the
same time (until Sept. 7)
Camp 1: Our first camp is located at 152 miles North East of
Schefferville Quebec. Built on the bank of the famous Whale River, this set up
was used primarily for Atlantic salmon fishing until we discovered that caribou
migration was happening during the month of September. Now we often bring 12
guests in when necessary. Each camp sleeps 4, a side in another building we have
bathroom facilities, toilettes, showers, hot water, etc. Our dining room can
seat 18 guests if needed. Our cooks will prepare all your meals. All our camps
have electricity from diesel generators. The equipment is top on the list and we
also make sure that everything is very clean.
CAMP 2: Our second camp is located 138 miles east of Schefferville Quebec on
Lake Chapiteau which borders Quebec and Labrador. What a nice place.
Each cabin sleeps 6 guests for a total of 12. Cabins are insulated and very
comfortable. Bathrooms, running water, hot showers, etc. are located at this
camp. At our dining room, you will be fed like a king. Electricity is also
provided with diesel generators. The equipment is top on the list and we also
make sure that everything is very clean. You will get one guide for every two
hunters at this camp.
packages include: taxes; air transportation
between Montreal and the hunting camp and return; lodging and ground
transportation at Schefferville; meals; meat boxes and packaging;
transportation of meat and one split set of caribou antlers
Hunting and Fishing Seasons:
We take 330 clients a year which by Quebec standards is only mid-
size. Some competitors take close to 1000 and to them you are just an invoice
number. We are large enough to be price competitive and small enough to get to
know our clients. We have more camps per hunter ratio than any other
outfitter. That means we have more spare camps to move hunters to during changes
in the migration. Plus all camps are plywood constructed not tents. Boats,
motors and other equipment are in top shape: we know your success depends on
it.
This camp has trees on both sides of the river and you need to be in good
physical condition to hunt this area.
Easy to hunt, practically no trees, mostly tundra and no big elevation. This
camp always gets the caribou early in the season because of its location. Not
far from the Labrador coast where caribou spend the summer. We are the first
ones in line when caribou start their annual migration to the west.
our 2nd hunting package is a semi-guided one: still 2 Caribou
limit with a 1 guide to four hunters ratio priced at $5,375 US
Caribou season: August 1 - Sept 30
Black Bear & Small game seasons: August 25 - Sept 30
Hunting & Fishing season: August 1 - Sept 7
Quebec Outfitter #3, N. Quebec
A mid-sized caribou operation with very competitive rates and a
reputation of outstanding service, T2C is proud to now offer you direct contact
with this outfitter. T2C has wanted permission to send guests here for
years.
Charlie Putt's B&C scored 400 3/8
No one knows the Ungava Region better then us as
we have over 30 years of guiding and outfitting experience here. Our success is
second to none. We have averaged 96% on 2 caribou since we incorporated in 1986.
This is an honest evaluation not one adjusted to look perfect. 80% of our
clientele are repeat guests, that speaks for itself.
We operate our own private aircraft. If a move to a more productive
camp will be beneficial it will be done "free of charge" without hesitation or
complication. We have camps that can intercept both of Quebec's 2 main herds the
Leaf River herd and the George River herd.
Main Camp ( American Plan ) 1 guide for 2
hunters:
This camp is for those who want a more personal service and a little more luxury
than out Outpost Camps. After an adventurous day afield with your guide it is
nice to sit back and enjoy a home cooked meal by our Camp chief. Our clients
have nothing but praise for the services for the services offered on this hunt.
It does not get any better. Price is $6,300 US per hunter
Included with packages

Newfoundland Out. #2,
Woodland Caribou densities in our area are some of the highest recorded in Newfoundland. In our hunting are we operate from a main lodge and outlying camps. Success rates are near 100% but we hunt for a trophy. To do so, it is necessary to view a number of animals and if we do not see a trophy animal in one area we move to another in consultation with the guest
It is not unusual to size up a large number of animals in a week's hunt. We hunt the most productive areas of the Middle Ridge Herd (14,000 animals) which has larger antlers than most other caribou herds - actually, most Boone and Crockett woodland caribou records (in the top 10) have come from our area. Over the past few years we have taken a number of Boone and Crockett records (our president is a B & C Official Measurer). Due to Government restrictions we offer less than 20 caribou hunts per year.
Moose hunts are offered in the fall. Our fully qualified guides are at your service to assist you have an enjoyable hunt. We hunt around the Gander River area. Generally we have 90% opportunity on moose. We hunt along the banks of the river; along the ridges of timber; or use old woods roads.
Black Bear hunts are stumble on hunts and are available in the Fall as an add on to the caribou or moose hunt. We have one of the highest black bear densities in Nfld., Some bears can weigh in excess of 600 pounds. A bear hunt can be added to caribou or moose for $500.
Airport pickup
at Gander International Airport ( or St. John's airport if preferred) can be
arranged. There are a number flights daily into Gander through eastern North
American Airports. There are also options to come by ferry and drive to Gander
(spectacular).
We
hunt in Central Newfoundland away from settlement. The country is pristine
wilderness ( accessed by aircraft ), that is primarily open maritime barrens
with scattered forest lands and ideal for hunting from a stationary position or
spot and stalk. Our clients are the only hunters in the area
Hunting Dates: Caribou, moose and black bear hunting seasons run from mid September through to early December. We usually book parties for a week - Sunday to Saturday but we are flexible and can tailor to individual needs. Bow hunting only starts Sept. 1
We can offer a spike tent caribou hunt for those of you who would like to be more adventurous. The float plane will drop us off in a remote area and we will sleep in a tent and cook out of propane stoves
* Note: This company specializes in Trophy Woodland Caribou Hunts. We do have caribou and moose or a combo of both if you like.

Newfoundland Out. #3, Newfoundland
Through my experience in Commercial Bush Flying, I can honestly say that Harold's Pond and Steele's Lake Lodge has produced World Class Hunting for Woodland Caribou, Moose & Black Bear. These hunts do require walking over semi-rugged terrain, yet not overly difficult to travel, the amount you will need to travel will be on the average a direct function of the quality trophy you desire. Instead of solid timbered areas there is rolling terrain with islands of timber making it ideal terrain for glassing the countryside. It provides for an exciting Spot & Stalk Hunt. ..`Bob Efford, owner '
Offering the best in Pristine, remote, top
quality, fly-in, trophy Woodland Caribou hunting in Western and Central
Newfoundland
Our location...With our fly-in remoteness and a never before hunted
country range, the lake provides our guests with near perfect success in taking
Boone & Crocket and Pope & Young Trophies. At our Trophy Caribou camp we take a
maximum of 4 hunters per week, yet we can accommodate up to 6 hunters, but only
within the same party. The lodge has all the creature comforts of home; hot and
cold running water with
showers, generated electricity and propane refrigeration, as well as a mobile
radio telephone system.
At the lodge we have two aluminum boats and 2 canoes with outboard
motors for use to travel a nine mile water system. The western region of this
system boasts the best caribou terrain in NFLD (ie. being their breeding and
calving range). With miles of white caribou moss covering the rolling terrain
and frequent shrubby Junipers, Caribou find this terrain to be prime habitat.
These caribou hunts can be tailored to your needs. You may choose for a 1:1
hunt,(a personal guide) or a 2:1 hunt (2 hunters per one guide).
..
The terrain consists mostly of tundra, lots of rolling hills and spots of timber
stands. The spot and stalk method is usually the type of hunt for these
Woodland Caribou.
Two weeks prior to our rifle season we have a two week exclusive Bow Hunting Season. It allows great opportunity for the Bow Hunting enthusiast to bag his trophy stag.
BLACK BEAR
Bob's Lake, as well as Harold's Pond, provides good chances to
stumble onto a Black Bear, especially at Bob's Lake. There is a high population
of these
trophy bruins weighing in excess of 500-600 lbs.
Tree stands will also be used for hunting these bears. Even though it is
much more difficult to keep a bear around the bait during the fall, the
chances fro success will run 40 - 50%. This is due to the vase expanses of
berries that these bears feed on.
PTARMIGAN
Ptarmigan hunting presents a splendid way to spend these long days
after you have bagged your game. There are hundreds of these birds nestled away
in those Partridge Berry Hills. Also other small game, include Grouse, Snowshoe
and Arctic Hares.
