Damn........was really hoping to attend. Got influenza and just got over it/missed the deadline. Any way to still go at the last minute?? If not totally understand.
Forgot to ask.....wish you would have had a spotting scope with?
I have a freind up there right now hunting. He just flew in today.....with no delays!!!
He said they met the group that was coming out and they stated that the caribou were still a little scarce, but the groups they saw had...
Great report!
I see on the way up you took the 737 equipped for landing on gravel.....if I recall correctly, there are not many places in the world have these type of aircraft! We took one on our Mtn. Caribou hunt up to Norman Wells NWT. Pretty impressive when you think about it!!
How were the...
Why the extra cost on the charter to get out.....i don't get it? If you were done early and wanted to leave, i could see it, but......
Any word on how the other camp (Des Bergais) has been doing? Or, are they not hunting that camp this year.
Hell yeah!! Congratulations!!
Great double bez on that thing.
Double shovel? Hard to tell from the picture.
Can you save the velvet?
Im assuming you are at the leaf river camp judging by the terrain.
Louie in camp? If so, tell him Brett says hi!
How's the camp as a whole doing....lots of...
Checking the antlers....would have to ask the airline and see as they all differ. I would ask when you land.
Not sure what they have on hand at Leaf River for wrapping the antlers. All depends on too when you get your bull (what day) and whether you'll have the time.
Taxidermist....you may...
Never had to do the 4457 on all the hunts I've been on in Canada. No one's ever asked.......
On the Canadian form that you are talking about, i'm assuming it's the Canadian Firearm Declaration form?
If it is, I got my butt chewed out a couple of times for filling it all out ahead of time and...
On the muck boots, it depends on which ones you have.......insulated or not. I personally don't really care for the Muck boots.......seem to take forever to dry out if they get wet. My Meindl's are 400 gram Thinsulate and my feet were fine. Still wore some heavier socks at times though...
Erny,
Congratulations on some very fine animals! Looks like you had a great safari.
Going to be at DSC this year? If so, we should hook up for a beer. I'll be there the whole show.
Congratulations.....one hell of a ram!!
Aiden, Dustin and Evan are great guides! Even though they are younger, the three musketeers know their sheep.
Ross, well, what do you say. I don't know if I've ever met a more humble, honest outfitter. Just a great all around guy...........
Shotgun...
On the boots. I wore my insulated/Goretex Cabela's Meindl boots and they were fine. They can almost always land the boat in a good spot.
Black bear tag. I would probably buy one if you have the chance. Especially if you are hunting out of the Leaf river camp. Not to say Des Bergais camp...
Sorry for the delay. I'm at Wisconsin Dells with my wife and children.
I would recommend Goretex or something like Sitka or Kuiu with layers. Don't bother with the Helly Hansen and Grundens type (PVC) as you will be doing a lot of walking and sweat to death.
I like Sitka myself as it tends...
I have hunted with Leaf River twice.....in 2013 & 2014. Both hunts were at different camps and both hunts were good, but i wouldnt say stellar. Weather and number of animals were a factor on both trips. Alain and Louis will do what they can to get you on the animals.
I have hunted all 5 species...
