 | This camp has all the amenities |
I arranged my caribou hunt with John Andre of Shoshone Wilderness Adventures, who owns the Courageous Lake Caribou Camps. I`d hunted up there a couple years previously, and had great luck in getting two nice bulls. I also enjoyed the camaraderie of the large camp full of eager hunters and lots of activity...since I`m an artist and work at home I`ve discovered that the social aspect of hunting is often quite appealing. I headed up to Yellowknife, NWT in mid-September, looking forward to the fall tundra colors and full of visions of big caribou bulls on their way to their wintering grounds. There were 11 hunters in camp for this last week of the season, and we all clambered aboard the big Beaver float plane and headed out of Yellowknife for an hour`s flight northeast to Courageous Lake. After settling into our cabins, sighting in and stuffing ourselves with a great dinner, we were all prepared for an early start.
