Let me open by declaring my ignorance.... I dont know anything about carribou, their hunting, the great nation of Canada, or, the icing rule in hockey...
That said, I'm 37 and would like to hunt carribou before I die someday. I have a group of about 4 men who would also like to carribou hunt. My hunting bunch mostly hunts TX whitetail, and archery hunts for elk every other year or so.
We're targeting the 2012 or 2013 season to make this happen. Given the volume of stuff and cost to fly, I'd prefer to drive up there, hunt and drive back home to Texas. That being said... its a ~25 hr drive from my front porch to Winnipeg. (using this as a waypoint only)
Can any of you offer helpful advice on how I should start planning such a trip? An ideal circumstance, I think, would be a semi-guided trip where we could be dropped off via plane in a remote location with provisions and instruction on how to hunt them. That said, if anyone has a better recommendation, I'm all ears.
Any wisdom would he helpful.
Thanks in advance!
Shane
