Used to see them on the hwy between GC and Hinton all the time years ago. Used to be the "Caribou Patrol" driving up and down the hwy chasing the stupid things off the road.
Caribou numbers have been in decline in BC/Alberta for decades, long before industry came to be.

Spent way too many winters workin up Wabasca way...usually see a few every winter. Probly the same bunch. 6 or 7 cows and an absolutely gorgeous old bull the first couple winters. One of the best whitetail bucks I have ever seen alive or dead up there too. In the old Grenore area that was winter access only. Snow up to your hips and ungodly cold for weeks. I don't know how he made it.

Few weeks ago saw a couple of cows in Hubert Lake. Had another hunter try to tell me they were cow elk. Asked him when was the last time he saw an elk with a "white scarf"?

Wow that's a nice find! Was that the same one that was shown in the outdoorsmen magazine earlier this summer on an article about caribou?

I will not believe that common sense said ungulate on ungulate crime was so high that we needed to kill off other species to slow their growth and preserve ones habitat from them.
Lo and behold the mighty predators came - one from the ashes - and ravaged the remaining ungulates till there was none to hunt.

All bs aside, I have hunted 355 for many years and it's an absolute industrial wasteland coupled by poor choices by the GOA that have destroyed a haven that will never recover in my generation. Shame on you.
Yup, for fear of the afore mentioned.....

I see caribou, but i can not say where or when as it will only be used against us...
