I have never been so wet in my life and as everyone
knows, one cannot predict the weather. On the last day of the
hunt spirits were low but the hunters got up to the early greetings
of our guides. "Top of the Morning" did not raise
the level of excitement or enthusiasm of the four hunters in
camp--yet we all slowly gathered around the table in the cook
tent. After another fantastic meal prepared by cooks, we set
out one more time to look for the ever illusive caribou. The
meals were plentiful and very delicious to say the least.
Being from the state of Wyoming-USA where the annual
rain fall is less than 10" of moisture per year about the
same amount of water that one would get from three morning showers
in your bathroom! Off we went searching one more time for caribou.
It was again raining steadily and the borrowed qual-tex rain gear
was well worth every dollar spent. The week spent with Labrador-caribou
crew proved to be a truly "Wilderness Experience". My
son Casey and I truly enjoyed the time spent together. The time
proved to be a true sense of bonding between father and son. In
addition to the bonding, I find myself daydreaming daily and sharing
the experience with friends and family. The awesome beauty of
the country ,new friends and the professionalism of the guides
that Jim has "hand picked" all added to a successful
hunt. All hunters coming into camps will find a unique personality
among these guides. They truly have one goal in mind, take care
of every hunter coming into camp--and of course, they try to the
best of their ability to help hunters "fill tags".
On that last morning of the hunt the only sounds
on earth were those of the soft rain drops falling on the lake
and the morning ritual of the very territorial Loon crying out
the "Call of the Wild". We all set out for that last
chance, with eyes strained hoping to press our luck and hopefully
have one more opportunity to fill a tag. Three hours into our
morning hunt Casey got his chance at a caribou and he scored.
Dad was bubbling at his son's success. What a great week in our
life spent with the folks at "Labrador-Caribou Wilderness
Adventures."
I was hunting with bow and arrow and although I
was unsuccessful in harvesting a caribou, I will be back. The
outfitters stand behind their guarantee of seeing caribou and
tries to the best of their ability to move hunters to where the
caribou are present. Sometimes the "Weather Gods" don't
allow this to happen and to that exception, hunters will have
an excellent opportunity to harvest caribou, cross paths with
bear and if lucky-catch a glimpse of a wolf.
Being an avid hunter and a life long resident of
Wyoming and truly an archery hunter, I will be back in this hunting
camp. I have five Pope and Young antelope in the book, one Shiras
moose, and an bull elk that needs an official score which friends
say "will make the book easily." My goal is to add to
this list a caribou which would also meet the Pope and Young criteria.
I would strongly recommend that any hunter who is looking for
an outfitter and that once in a lifetime experience to hunt caribou
to contact "Labrador-Caribou Wilderness Adventures".
Thanks for a once in a lifetime experience,
Rock Springs, Wyoming
