We made it

October 1st, 2008 Paul Posted in Animals, Caribou, Hunting, Schefferville | 2 Comments »

So, we finally made it back from Sufferville (the local name for Schefferville and I can see why). It was a successful trip but transportation was a nightmare, full details of which will follow when I make it back to the UK.

In the mean time, this is the result:

Roger got the first:

The first and biggest...

Roger’s second, this was the last:

Rogers second and final

My first with lovely velvet antlers:

My final Caribou:

My second Caribou

So, as you can see we got four nice Caribou three of which had double shovels (the very front part of the antlers above the nose) which is pretty rare.

The meat tastes pretty good, more tender than beef and sweeter.

  1. Well – the mighty hunters return! I can’t wait till the next time you and Sarah are home to hear the stories.

    I know Dad’s antlers will go up on the garage – but where will you put yours Paul?

  2. Most of the people who actually live there wouldn’t call it Sufferville…
    Glad you enjoyed the meat, though.
