A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT THE TROPHIES TAKEN

The Quebec caribou An examination at the principal trophy keeping books, the " BOONE & CROCKETT, POPE & YOUNG and "SAFARI CLUB International indicates that 60% of all the records which have been registered for the Quebec caribou, have come out of the Schefferville region. It is easy to understand that any hunter who has aspirations of collecting a record animal, along with the opportunity of listing their name in an official record book, will have a 20% better chance to succeed, by choosing Club Chambeaux for their next hunting expedition, who operates primarily in the Schefferville area...

New caribou census 2001

Recently, following the request of Northern Quebec Outfitters, the Fish and Games biologist of Quebec made a major photographic census of the two main herds, the George River herd and the Leaf River herd in July 2001.

The biologists responsible for the study gave some information on the numbers of the census of the herds at the annual Northern Quebec outfitters meeting, held on November 29, 2001.

The result of the 2001 census shows that the two major herds are totalizing approximately 1,000,000 head. In numbers, the two herds combined would be about the same number as the 1993 census.

Health condition of the caribou herds

According to the physical analysis of the newborns of the George River herd, the count is 45 fawns by 100 females caribou, and the count for the Leaf River herd is 43 fawns per 100 females, With this high rate of reproduction, Norhern Quebec will remain the best place to hunt caribou for many decades.

On the other hand, it was also mentioned that the average weight of the George River herd's fawns was about 64 lbs., and that those of the Leaf River herd was about 48 lbs.

According to the biologists, the weight of the fawns at birth indicates the health level of herd. By comparing the result of the 2001 census with the 1993 census, the biologists are predicting that the George River herd will increase its population, and that the Leaf River herd would probably be at its peak.

They are expecting, for leaf River herd, a decrease in the next few years.

The number of animals harvested annually by sportsmen represents approximately 2% of the total population. These numbers represent a negligible affect on the largest population of caribou on this planet. To the contrary, the autumn hunt is a good tool to regulate the caribou population. We can therefore safely predict exceptional hunting seasons for many years to come.

Good News for Club Chambeaux’s hunters

All those results won't affect the hunting success provided by Club Chambeaux since 1984. The reasons that allowed Club Chambeaux to achieve such a high success rate are simple to explain.

Club Chambeaux hunts both caribou herds, the George River and the Leaf River. The caribou herds have no boundaries, and are capable of traveling over 35 miles and more per day.

This is why Club Chambeaux operates more than 40 different hunting sites strategically located and spread over the 50,000 square miles area used by the caribou migratory herds of the Georges River and Leaf River for centuries.

With this mobility on the terrain, Club Chambeaux is able to adjust to any situation and to any change in the migration route.

WHICH HUNTING TERRITORY OFFERS THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR SUCCESS WHEN HUNTING CARIBOU?

Schefferville? Fort Chimo? Alaska? or Northwest Territories?

Based on the comments which we have gathered from our clients who have previously taken hunting trips in Alaska and the Northwest Territories, the quality of services provided and the level of success obtained with the Club Chambeaux, which operates in the Schefferville area of Quebec province, is by far superior, both from the point of view of quality and price, to any experience which they have seen in the Western regions.

SCHEFFERVILLE IS ACKNOWLEDGED
