[QUOTE="Nabob77, post: 464328, member: 29764"] Congradulations, It looks like you guys had a good hunt... I've also hunted barren land caribou in the Northwest territories in -30 C daytime temps, and camped at -39 C night time temperatures. I would have preferred the warmer time of year to hunt but I was offered an opportunity which I couldn't pass up. It was a community harvest with the Dene people and one which I will remember for the rest of my life. I was at the far end of the Lake and bent over doing some skinning, and suddenly I heard a sound. When I turned around there was a group of more then 50 caribou travelling across the frozen lake through deep snow. It was quiet, with no wind and the texture of the snow was like grains of sugar. And near dusk, one could hear the sound of the snow being pushed away from their hoofs, and see the siloquettes of their graceful forms travelling in unison... Night fall was approaching quickly, and the temps were dropping. But as I shivered, I saw something that very few people have ever seen. A memory of another good hunt. [/QUOTE]
