Mountain Caribou
CARIBOU
Caribou live throughout the sub-alpine forests and tundra regions of the Northern Hemisphere. They thrive in the most severe environmental conditions and occupy the most restrictive northern most niches of the world. All Caribou are known as the American Reindeer.
Caribou have large crescent shaped hooves and the tracks have a distinct imprint of a dew claw, which provides additional support in the snow. Both sexes have erect spread antlers, however the bulls are much larger. Two tines come off the front of each main antler beam, one lower brow tine on the bull is palmate near the tip, and is used to push snow aside while they feed. All other tines come off the back over the shoulders. Caribou are a medium sized member of the deer family. Weight varies with subspecies, sex and location ranging form 200lbs(91kg) to 594lbs(270kg).
We hunt these species in mid August to the end of September, don't expect to see large herds of Caribou, but do expect to take a nice size Bull.
