** Overall sucess rate includes all outfitters from Shefferville, James Bay, Nunavik, Kuujjuaq as published by the Quebec Ministry of Tourism. Safari Nordik has the highest success rate of the industry, PERIOD! That is why we offer such a guarantee. Since our statistics are true, we are not taking any major risks by giving you a guaranteed policy for a free return trip the following year. As a hunter, you should require this guarantee from the outfitter that promises you a 90%+ harvest rate.

There are over 40 outfitters in Quebec. At the outdoor shows there can be 5 to 20 outfitters represented. Here are some questions to ask the outfitters when considering a hunt:

*Ask for 100 references from last year. Call references and ask the number of hunters in camp and number of bulls killed. This will give you the true percentages on bulls.
*Ask, if I don't kill an adult bull can I come back free or will I be refunded 50% of my package price?
*Ask for references from the previous year in your state.
*How many camps they have in the operation to move hunters to?
*Is there any cost for moving hunters to other camps?
*Can we kill 2 bulls when we are moved?
*Ask what are your percentages on bulls.
*Do you hunt north of the 57th parallel the Leaf River Herd?
*All caribou hunts are 6 nights in camp. Some outfitters will call this a 5 day hunt or 5-1/2 day hunt, and some will call it a 6 day hunt. Ask them if this is a 7 or 8 day trip, will there be an overnight stay besides in camp?
*Must we furnish our meals or do our own cooking?
*If the caribou aren't migrating in our area, will the outfitter notify incoming hunters to postpone or change to a later date?

There are 2 kinds of hunts, guided and unguided hunts. Some outfitters call these drop-camp, outpost, self-guided or European plan. An unguided hunt consists of a camp manager with 6 to 12 hunters in camps. Some of these will furnish food, but no cooks. You have to pack your own caribou back into camp, approximately 90 lbs., cut the four quarters off and lase last knuckle, to reduce the weight.

They also also guided hunts, this could be 1 guide to 1 hunter, 1 on 2, 1 on 3, 1 on 4. The guide quarters and capes your caribou, and packs it out for you. He will usually put 2 of the hunters on a look out, and will stay with the one hunter, and the following day rotate men. He is there to help you select a good quality bull.

I do 15 Outdoor shows a year and hear many horror stories of disappointed hunters. Some outfitters will tell you that they have a high percentage of kills. They do not tell you that this percentage is both bulls and cows combined. Caribou hunting is not a guaranteed hunt.

We Go The Distance!

If there are no Caribou around your camp, we will move you to a more productive area, free of charge and you still get to harvest 2 Caribou Fair Chase!
