Back in 2003 ish I actually got to see about 15-20 of the caribou in a acclimation pen that was located up a dead end road one left turn up from Gypsy meadows. There was a biologist camp there and they where part of the transplant herd. kind of cool.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

They used to call them, caribou,  lunchbox on hooves, they've either run back across the border or have been eaten.

I have a friend that was doing trail work up there last year. I seem to remember him telling of a bear or wolf, I can't remember which. I will have to find out.
I definately am going to have to do some hiking up there this summer.

A few years back, we took the road from sullivan lake over the pass. One night while looking for a spot to camp we got in the middle of a herd of about 30-40. Alot of cows and calves. It was up near muskegon lake. And yes it is very steep and thick, but if your willing to put in the time scouting and hiking it might pay off.
