Hunting Information
Recommended Rifle
When it comes to rifle calibers, some popular options include the 270, 7mm, 300, and 338 in magnum loads. While you may need to make long range shots of up to 400 yards in some cases, most shots taken will be within the range of 1-200 yards or even closer. To ensure you have enough ammunition, we suggest bringing along 2 boxes of rifle shells, each containing 40 rounds.
Recommended Archery
Bow hunting is quickly gaining popularity as a way to harvest game. The tundra hunting area we offer features a diverse landscape with pockets of spruce, dwarf birch, rocky outcroppings, natural ridges, and ravines. This provides opportunities for animals to come to you or for you to stalk your prey. To ensure a successful hunt, we strongly suggest that you practice shooting arrows at a distance of 40-60 yards prior to your arrival. Many hunters choose to bring both a bow and a gun as a backup, as this is often a trip of a lifetime.

Harvesting a trophy Caribou with a black powder rifle is another great option that is becoming increasingly popular. To make your trip as smooth as possible, it's important to plan ahead and make arrangements with us at least 45 days before your trip. This is because of airline regulations related to the transport of black powder and caps. We have a shooting range at the lodge where you can make sure your weapon is shooting accurately. Keep in mind that handguns and other restricted weapons are not allowed for hunting or self-defense in Canada.
