Caribou Hunting in Manitoba - Barren Ground

 

Manitoba Barren Ground Caribou Hunting: Experience the vast wilds of Northern Manitoba while pursuing the majestic Barren Ground Caribou, with Gage Outdoor Expeditions.

Trophy class caribou migrate across this expansive tundra and we are located in the heart of this Trophy Caribou territory.  We offer 2 camps, located in the heart of the Caribou staging grounds, giving us the ability to put you just where the caribou herd is!

The Barren Ground caribou, with a population in excess of 550,000, offer big game hunters the ultimate Trophy caribou hunt experience.  Few hunters have afforded themselves the opportunity to pursue this majestic beast in some of the most remote, unspoiled wilderness on earth. 

 
The adventure begins through Churchill, Manitoba, which is known as the Polar Bear Capitol of the world.  With some luck you will see one of these magnificent carnivores on the flight along the coast of the Hudson Bay, en route to the camps.

Caribou Hunting Success Rates

Due to our superb locations in Manitoba, our caribou hunting camps have a success rate 100% over the past ten years.   Whether archery hunting for trophy caribou or rifle, we have the ability to get you close to the caribou, which translates into opportunities for you.  The hunting consists of spot and stalk or ambush hunting.  Due to our proximity to the caribou staging areas, we have a number of strong hunting advantages that most lodges can not duplicate. 

Because or our proximity to the staging areas success does not depend purely on the timing of the caribou migration.  We offer three 5 day trophy caribou hunts and the caribou are always close when the hunters are in camp. 

Archery hunters often have increased succes with us due to fact that the caribou are not always migrating through the area.  When large herds of caribou are moving through an area it can be very difficult to get close to the Trophy bulls, especially when attempting to harvest a trophy caribou with a bow.

In addition to our 100% success rate, we have an average of 60% Boone and Crockett and 85% Pope and Young Trophy Caribou.  Professional and experienced guides are able to rough out a score to help you harvest just the right animal for you.

Our lakes are positively teeming with Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Arctic Grayling and all around you, wildlife abounds.  These pristine waters are located 140 miles to the northwest of Churchill near the Nunavut border.

Hunts are 5 days and once you’ve taken your caribou (you can take up to 2), you can pass the time hunting geese & ptarmigan or fishing.

The Hunting Lodge

 

Our Trophy Caribou Lodges are located less than 10 miles south of the Nunavut border and 140 miles Northwest of Churchill, Manitoba, very close to the calving grounds of the caribou herd.  To ensure the best possible hunt for you, we do limit our season to the 3 weeks in September when their numbers are most abundant.

Travel to the barrenlands, the Land of the Midnight Sun, home of the Aurora Borealis -- unchanged wilderness since the beginning of time.

The Gage Caribou Hunting Lodge combines all the comforts of home with a rustic character that lends itself to this magestic land.  We offer real comfort in this remote wilderness setting with private cabin accommodation for up to 10 in each camp. Electricity and indoor plumbing, comfortable lounge, and a restaurant style kitchen.  Freezers and modern equipment all combine to make this Trophy Caribou Hunting Lodge the premier hunting and fishing location in the Manitoba.

Wildlife, which is unique to the Canadian Arctic, is abundant. The migration of the Barren Ground Caribou herd is one of the last remaining, true spectacles of nature and can be witnessed annually in Manitoba.

Whether you come to capture giant Lake Trout, fly fish for Arctic Grayling, or to photograph the Arctic Tundra, our professional management and staff will help make your trip safe and enjoyable.

Contact us today and let us create a unique expedition just for you.
 

Tips for a Successful Caribou Hunt in Manitoba
  • Ask the lodge or agent how many years they have been selling caribou hunts in Manitoba.
  • Get references from past hunters, as well as information for the local DNR office, and the provincial outfitters association.
  • Ask any questions you have no matter how small.  This is a major investment and you should be sure about the hunt.
  • When planning your Manitoba Caribou hunt a year or more ahead get on the mailing list and get updated on the success of previous hunts.
  • Make sure you know what the weather conditions will be while caribou hunting and you know what gear to bring.
  • Find out about travel insurance.
  • Go over the outfitters terms and conditions thouroughly before booking.  Go through any questions you have about the hunt before you pay your deposits.
