Caribou Hunting Regulations

Before we discuss Caribou hunting regulations, lets explore and discuss the Caribou hunt in general first. There are many hunting camps that are scattered across the Canadian and Alaskan wilderness that provide hunts each and every year during the annual Caribou migration that takes place. These camps offer lodging and a guide for a week long hunting experience like no other. The herds are very dense and will virtually ensure that the hunter will get one of these trophies. Most of these camps will provide all the license and tags required, and include them in the package. However, there are some that require the hunter to obtain their own licenses and tags beforehand so, be sure to check with the camp you plan to attend for these specifics.

 

Regulations dictate everything associated with these hunts and should be read and known by each and every hunter that plans to partake in one of these hunts. There are many however, we will cover a few of the basics here. Of course, be sure to round out your knowledge by taking the time to read the rest of them.

When it comes to weapons, whether it be either bow or gun hunting, there is a minimum type of weapon that must be used. For a bow, the minimum pull must be a forty five pound draw and a gun must be a minimum of a two hundred and forty three caliber rifle.Nonresident hunters are required to have a guide for any big game hunting. This is for everyone's safety. These guides know the area as well as where to find the big game. They are required to be licensed by the Canadian government and must possess their license at all times during a hunt. If you suspect that your guide is not a licensed professional, by all means, ask to review their license. They must present it.

Coincidently, the hunting of big game in Canada by out of state or out of country hunters must take place at one of these licensed hunting camps. This ensures that the accuracy of the animal counts are as close as possible to the actual amount.

For American hunters, you must have a game export permit in order to take any big game meat out of Canada. Therefore, if you want to take those Caribou steaks home to share with your family and friends, you will need this permit to take it across the border. Most of the hunting camps offer these free of charge or, they are included in your hunting trip package. Also, a permit will be required to carry or transport any firearm for hunting purposes into Canada.

These are just a few of the main regulations that are dictated in the Caribou hunting regulations. There are more and as mentioned previously, should be known before a hunting trip.
