Since caribou rely mainly on their sense of smell to detect danger, plan your approach upwind. Despite the fact that caribou have an excellent sense of hearing, they are usually not disturbed by natural sounds or whispers. Their eyesight is not very good, but like other members of the deer families they will detect the slightest movement. A successful stalk should coordinate an approach while the animal is not looking forward in its alert state. Come to an immediate stop as soon as it returns to alertness.
Caribou are very curious animals.
They will run a short distance when spooked, but will likely stop to look behind. Constantly on the move, caribou appears to be quite slow when at distance, but you will be impressed by their actual speed. Other information on the caribou's behaviour will gladly be offered by our experienced guides and camp stewards. Don't hesitate to ask about them. Go for your caribou with firearm or bow, but also indulge into hunting bear and ptarmigan or fishing for the great northern lakers and brook trout, when in season.
