Title: Howdy from NWT!
Post by: pacyew on September 03, 2007, 08:42:18 PM: Hi Fellas,

Just arrived in camp at MacKay Lake Lodge, NWT Canada this afternoon. Works out they have full time internet here on satelitte. We're about 150 miles NE of Great Slave Lake, right along the N. American tree line. Pretty excited to be here.

Here's a link to the outfitter we're hunting with:

I'm here with a group of 6 bowhunters from WA State, all fired up for Caribou!

Will send an update and some caribou images as we are successful.

I wanted to win that trip with the bowhunter defense fun thing with the WSB...even bid on it one year, but somebody else wanted to go more than I did I guess. REALLY looking forward to hearing about your trip. I'm still thinking seriously about it. I really want to hunt them hard antlered though, not in the velvet. I'm not sure if they offer that or not.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! :archer: shoot straight

Post by: pacyew on September 08, 2007, 09:20:33 AM: Hi All,

The fellow in the first picture is my hunting buddy Vince Scully from Hastings Minnesota. He harvested this nice bull with his recurve the on the second day, with a 15 yard heart shot. It went 50 yards. I was just a short distance away and I sure I was just as excited as he was as I watched it all unfold.

The second image of a huge bull, taken by Mrs. Klasson, from Calgary Alberta. This is a photo of Grandmother, Grandfather and Grandson all in camp (and in the field!) together.

The third is a typical group of caribou crossing a small inlet. Mrs. Klasson's bull is at the back, the one with the big headgear.

Finally, this is of a blond tundra grizzly (this one not my photo) taken near camp this Spring.

Was able to get a nice bull myself a couple days ago. Will have more images on return Monday.

Good Hunting!
