Hunt Central Barren Ground Caribou in Canada’s northern territory of Nunavut with one of WTA’s long-time outfitters. This seasoned outfitter has secured a new area in recent years. We are incredibly excited as central barren ground caribou hunting opportunities have been extremely limited over the past few years. The 2023 season will be the first year in this new area. Pre-scouting reports have been very good, with huntable numbers of caribou increasing daily with excellent trophy potential.
Caribou hunting is a thrilling adventure, that few have traveled. You and your guide will stalk the majestic caribou and navigate the land as they have for hundreds of years. This caribou hunt is conducted from tented camps equipped with all the gear you need. In-field transportation primarily consists of modern 16′ & 18′ boats on lakes and rivers depending on the hunt area. Due to the diverse terrain in this region, these hunts are very conducive to both archery and rifle hunters. During peak migration, it is common to see over 100 caribou daily. Opportunities for wolf, wolverine, ptarmigan hunting and excellent lake trout and grayling fishing may be available with the purchase of a license. These hunts are limited to early booking is essential. #310
