Northern Nomads--Adventures With Caribou

Courageous Lake Revisited

How lucky can I be, I muse, as I watch a rain squall move across the bay, urged on by icy winds heralding winter's approach. I've just finished yet another terrific late season hunt here at Courageous Lake, and enjoyed four days of unusually warm and sunny weather. That may have been a factor in this hunt's slow start; the 11 hunters in camp this time barely saw any caribou for the first two days. But on day three hundreds suddenly showed up on the western side of the lake, and we all ended up with some magnificent trophies.
