Stick & String Outfitters
is proud to bring you one of the best and most successful
Quebec caribou outfitters around - Tuttulik
Outfitters. Tuttulik has one of the best areas
in all of Quebec for trophy bulls and has an incredible
record of harvesting Pope & Young caribou.
Hunting Area
Tuttulik Outfitters is allowing exclusive
access to over 4,500 sq. miles of native owned territory
along the Hudson's Bay coast and Minto Lake areas. These
native owned territories are right in the main migration
routes and summering areas of the Leaf River Caribou
herd. Tuttulik also offers limited fishing opportunities
early in the season for those big Lake and Speckled
Trout.
When Caribou Hunting in Quebec Canada
the main area of hunting, the Minto Lake region,
forms the headwaters of the majestic Leaf River and
is one of the largest fresh water lake systems found
in the western sectors of Hudson's Bay. Large lakes
such as Minto Lake, with its rich habitat and immense
waterways help slow down caribou migrations and hold
the animals longer. Throughout this inland region of
Hudson's Bay and its coastal areas, hunters will find
a true arctic environment, rich in lichens and browse
sought after by hungry and migrating caribou of the
Leaf River herd. The last census and survey of the herds
passing through and seasonally using the Minto Lake
areas have been evaluated at over 500,000 head.
The tundra landmass surrounding Minto
Lake is an incredibly rich forage base for trophy bulls
that are looking to put on weight prior to the rut.
Sparse stands of small black spruce trees litter the
shores of Minto Lake while true tundra like habitat
with it boulders and dwarf willows dominate the landscape.
The entire land mass, with its hundreds of lakes and
rolling topography, offer hunters thousands of caribou
migration corridors with natural crossing areas between
the many lakes. From the air, caribou migration trails
and sign is everywhere. Thousands of caribou trails
and migration routes scar the landscape, indicating
the tremendous volume of animals that have passed through
the region over many years.
The absence of hunting pressure from other
outfitters on our 2,000 square miles of our native
land lease, allow the caribou a more natural and
less hurried migration, thus increasing the amount of
time they spend in the area. Our large boats and big
outboards offer incredible mobility and security around
this large body of water, allowing hunters an immense
waterway to scout and hunt. Judging by the quality of
caribou bulls sighted by Tuttulik hunters during the
past several seasons, these native traditional hunting
lands of the Hudson's Bay Inuit have proven to be a
trophy caribou hunting paradise.
Trophy Quality
"Minto Lake means big Bulls, Bulls,
and more Bulls!" The Minto Lake territory has had
the highest number of record book bull entries in the
Pope and Young record book for the past 5 years and
approximately 1/3 of all the entries in the record
book have come through Tuttulik Outfitters! In the 1999
and 2003 recording periods of P&Y, Tuttulik Outfitters
had the number one entry each year! There is no better
place to bowhunt trophy caribou than in the Minto Lake
region.
Transportation, Food &Lodging
"An incredibly large lake
with lots of accessible territory!" "Boat
mobility is the key and big 23' boats with new motors
are used to access the caribou hot-spots.
Each of the 4 camps offers accommodations
for 8-10 hunters that includes a full kitchen, main
camp for sleeping, guides quarters and meat storage
facility. Equipment such as large 23' boats with big
outboard motors, a 4 wheel all terrain vehicle with
trailer, and satellite telephone communications are
standard issue for each of the 4 sites. Each camp is
full insulated, well furnished and heated by stove oil.
In the evenings, clients also have the luxury of a hot
shower and electricity generated by our gas generators.
Nothing has been spared to keep our hunters dry, warm,
and well fed in this artic environment. Each camp also
has its own runway to allow for twin-engine turbo prop
access with the twin-otter on tundra wheels stationed
in Kuujjuarapik.
