Caribou

Our Quebec Labrador caribou hunting territory is located 1000 miles north of Montreal in Nunavik, Quebec. The village of Kuujjuaq (previously called Fort Chimo) is our base of operations during the hunting season from mid-August to early October.

Our camps are carefully located to the west and south-west of Kuujjuaq intercepting the migrational pattern of the Leaf River Caribou Herd. While the George River Herd located to the south has shown a decline in their numbers in recent years – the Leaf River Herd on the other hand is stable and at the last official count taken in the Fall of 2012 a healthy population of over 535,000 animals was estimated.

Contrary to travel to other northern destinations, access to our region is simple, quick and civilized. Daily 737 jet transportation from the cosmopolitan city of Montreal is provided on a daily basis to the community of Kuujjuaq in under 2 hours. From Kuujjuaq our chartered Twin Otter wheeled aircraft assures a timely arrival in camp. Under 3 hours after leaving Montreal – you will be hunting!

A caribou hunting trip to Northern Quebec is more than just a hunt – it is an overall adventure to experience the land, the scenery and its people. Hunt for caribou with rifle, with bow or both, take time to fish and catch and release a 5 lbs. brook trout on some quiet stretch of river, what about seeking a covey of white ptarmigan on the open tundra with your favorite shotgun. And what about waking up in the middle of the night to experience the spectacle of the Northern Lights. Tanglewood Adventures can provide you with this and more!
