The weather continued to be on our side and Matt still had one more reindeer tag to fill. Our guide, Peter, took us to one of his favorite areas. A honey hole where he always finds some larger bulls that seem to seek solitary away from the younger bulls and cows. We located three bulls in a secluded canyon and had to climb quite a bit to get Matt into position for a shot. It worked to perfection as these bulls had no idea we were there and we were able to get Matt set with the Gunwerks ClymR over his pack. The larger bull was quartering away and feeding, and Matt hammered him with the 6.5 PRC. You couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque backdrop in one of the most remote places on the planet. After taking photos and packing Matt’s reindeer off the mountain, we reflected on the first three days of the hunt and how incredible it was, knowing that we still had three days to go and so much more to see and do!
The fishing for arctic char in Greenland is incredible. These anadromous fish spend the majority of their time in saltwater. The return to their natal rivers to spawn each year before heading back to sea. There’s a small lake right around the corner from camp that was teeming with char in their full spawning colors. Our group spent the next couple of days here until our arms were sore! We also spent a morning fishing for Atlantic cod in the bay and fed the camp for the next two days. This is why I encourage anyone interested in coming to Greenland to bring your family and friends, even if they do not hunt. There is so much outdoor activity: world-class fishing, hiking, photography, and seeing the glaciers, icebergs, flora/fauna, and northern lights. Not to mention that the accommodations and food is excellent.
