Gun Cases
Commercial Carriers Airline requires you bring a hard gun case to fly into Churchill. We suggest once at Churchill to have a gun sock for your weapon of choice, as no hard cases will be taken into the Caribou Camp with you.
Weapons of Choice
Rifle
Most shots are taken under 200 yards but you may be required to take 300-400 yard shots. We suggest a flat fast shooting cartridge, 243 caliber and up, with a minimum of a 100 grain bullet. Magnums cartridges are a great choice, such as the 243 WSSM, 270 WSM, 7mm-300 Winchester WSM..We recommend 2 boxes of shells (40 rounds).
Muzzleloader
Blackpowder is becoming extremely popular for Caribou hunting these days. For those looking at taking one with a blackpowder please let us know ahead of time as you most likely will not get powder or primers on a commercial airliner. Let us know what you need for these items and we will make sure it is at the camp for your arrival.
Archery
Archery opportunities are absolutely endless when it comes to Caribou. For those contemplating on whether or not to bring there bow, please do. You may regret not taking it once you are there. We strongly recommend being able to shoot with confidence up to 50 yards, closer shots can always be available but your chances of getting the boo of a lifetime are greatly increased at the 50 yard mark. Also, to be on the safe side, have at least 8 arrows in your arsenal.
Bird Hunting
The camp will have a shotgun to borrow for those interested in shooting Ptarmigan or Waterfowl. Licenses for Upland Game and Waterfowl are on location.
