One of the fellas, at the Caribou camp my son went to in Canada, took this video of his partner's Caribou kill, etc.

Everyone in the party took two bulls - my freezer's packed !

Nice. Looks a tad chilly to me ... but I'm from Florida.

They told me 38 degrees & rain - Brrrrrr ! A couple in the party didn't even bring warm clothing, because it was early September.

I'm glad they had a good time and a successful hunt.

I wasn't there so who am I to judge, BUT I don't think I would shoot at an animal that is silhouetted. I don't doubt the temtpation is huge but how can you be certain of your backstop? I know "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything" but I don't think it's wrong to speak up for safety.

I think the nearest people in danger of catching a stray bullet - where they were above the Arctic Circle near the mouth of St James Bay - would be either the Russians, or maybe some Polar explorers.

They were hunting with a remote, fly-in outfitter, who only allows a small percentage of his thirty-some camps to be in use during any week.
