MOUNTAIN CARIBOU

Overview

Mountain Caribou are known for having the largest antlers of any caribou in the world, making them a highly sought-after trophy for hunters pursuing northern big game.

At Jennings River Outfitters, caribou can be found throughout the concession, providing consistent opportunity across a variety of terrain. We offer only a limited number of hunts each season to maintain high success rates and ensure a quality experience.

This hunt delivers a balance of adventure, accessibility, and trophy potential in a truly remote setting.

The Experience

Terrain

Rolling alpine tundra, open basins, and mountain plateaus define caribou country.

Hunt Style

Hunts are typically conducted via machine or horseback, allowing hunters to cover large areas efficiently while locating animals.

Physical Demand

Moderate. Terrain is more forgiving than sheep or goat hunting but still requires mobility and endurance.

Camp Life

Hunters operate out of established alpine camps, positioned to access active caribou zones.
