Nice camera angle on the shot. That certainly finished the job. Thanks for sharing.

Running caribou down with a snowmobile then gunning them?

Yep. A caribou hunt used to be cheap for a resident hunter here. Now, unless you’re set up, not so much.

The caribou haven't come down into Manitoba for the last decade or so-been up 19 times in our province

not that part.....

You get that herd from the NWT/ Nunavut border? Qamanirjuak herd Its surprising that herd is not more plentiful not much people in that area. Huge range right from NWT to Rankin Inlet and south into Manitoba. I hope you get a good migration next winter. Life is so much better when there is caribou around.

My dad trapped in the barrens near the border with Saskatchewan in the 1940s. He learned to sew himself caribou skin cloths and speak some Cree.

We stopped and shot from a stationary position but Billy had to go after his caribou to recover it but even then he shot it from a long distance. Those caribou were really on the move when we found them. Most of them were in a big line single file heading into a narrow pass between the mountains. I tried to take pictures of the herd but my camera kept freezing up. I was just lucky it stayed warm to take that video. I called around to look for an external battery pack but my camera was only in production for a short time and does not have many accessories.

There’s still a season for them, & hunts being sold. Zones 1,2 & 3.

Neat video, Muskrat. Caribou were still found in Michigan when my mother was a toddler. They have been gone from here for just over 100 years. I have only shot a couple, and they were hardly trophies......one was an antlered cow, the other a bull with one antler broken off just below his left bez. It was on one of the northern Quebec drive-up free-for-all hunts out of Mirage. I don't believe those herds even migrate through that area today, in fact, they closed it all down (I went in late December of 2000). I really hoped to get a decent sized bull because I had a life-size mannikin back in the shop I was going to mount one on.

Were you really worried about it getting away with a hurt leg in the open tundra with Billy 50 yards behind it on a snowmobile?

I had faith in Billy but I really could only see what was in my view finder. So I was not sure where he was and it was so rough anything could happen

Been on lots of hunts like that. Once you wound an animal you're responsible to harvest it. Looked more like he was following it for a good shot opportunity.
