| I recently sent for brochures for hunting whitetail on Anticosti
Island in Quebec. I also recieved itinerary on a caribou package
in Quebec. If your interested give me your name and mail stop, and
I'll send it to you.
Also I hunted New Jersey 2 years ago for bow, and saw lots of action!
They have the most liberal bag limit within reach (4) for bow hunting
with a good amount of public land available. What's the entry for
the archery notes file?

I have had the good fortune to take two trips to the Ungava Bay
region of Quebec. My partner and I hunted caribou out of Finger
Lake Lodge which resides slightly above treeline on the Canadian
Tundra. It is entirely possible to have caribou look in yor lodge
windows, when the heard does migrate through it is spectacular.
They are literally everywhere. ***HOWEVER*** - when they aren't
in your area remember, there are millions of acrea of NOTHING up
there and you might go all the way to Russia before seeing anything.
I hunted with the bow and rifle, I took two animals but neither
would qualify for any record book. I passed on MANY animals with
the bow hoping to find a really big one. Shots can be close, the
caribou tend to follow well defined trails but finding sufficient
cover is the problem up on the tundra. Most shots will be out around
40 - 60+ yards and more than likely at walking animals ( they don't
run a lot from what I saw ). Caribou don't take a lot of killing,
they seem rather fragile ( mine went easily ). The meat is absolutely
delicious!! I will go back some day, no doubt.
Also bring your fishing gear if you go, there is excellent char
and trout fishing all over that area.
Of course, it will always rain/sleet/snow while you are there so
GORETEX/Thinsulate clothing and good boots are a must.
good hunting,

| 124.4 | Try Michigan | GLDOA::MORRISON | | Sat Oct 22 1988 21:29 | 6 |
| A very good place to bow hunt whitetail is in west Michigan, in
fact all over Michigan. We have a large population and I have a
friend, my former manager, who always gets 2 bucks with bow each
year. If you want to come out to Michigan, send me a vaxmail and
I'll get you in contact with my buddy. I don't yet bowhunt, just
rifle, but hope to some year.

| I'll second Michigan. Try anywhere along M31 between Travers City
and Petosky. There are tons of fruit orcherds along that strip and
I'm sure that the farmers would be more then happy to have you thin
out the herd for them.
