Yukon Caribou

[hawken]

I am planning a Caribou hunt next year or the year after with a friend up in the Yukon.
I'm not sure if we should go for Mountain or barren ground Caribou.
What are your thoughts?

Mountain involves a lot of hard climbing, backpacking and possibly the cost of flying in.

Barrenground involves trying to stay warm in a very harsh climate. Likely truck and snow machine used for hunting.

Both are awesome trophies but I'd say the hunt for mountain caribou is far more of an experience.

Whatever one has the biggest antlers haha.

Hawken , do Mountain.........It's your type of hunt forsure...

Plus Bear63's post of the double header made my decision up which one i would do.

Ive harvested both,do some research and find out each outfitters methods and decide fr there,they are both great animals to hunt,my mountain caribou is about a 360"b/c bull and my mountain is around 400"b/c,i like my mountain better cause it was a tougher hunt and you get more mass on a mountain caribou
hope this helps your decision

Think he's going with a hunter host in the Yukon...at least that's what I read into his post.
