The Northern division of the Quebec Wildlife and Conservation Service will be conducting an inventory and population survey of both the Leaf River and George River herds in July of this year. The primary resulting data of the survey will be used to provide fresh herd statistics for the upcoming consultations to be held with concerned industry, governmental and native parties. A new caribou management plan should be tabled within the next couple of years once the true picture of the caribou herds status has been offically documented. Various rumours have been circulating to the effect that certain management changes will include a reduction to one caribou per hunter instead of two.

Tunilik Adventure, in it’s continuing quest to expand and deliver the best
hunting and fishing in northern Quebec, has recently acquired another outfitting
service in Schefferville. The acquisition of Twin River Lodge and their nine
additional camp destinations will greatly increase the hunting mobility factor
for our hunters. We now have 17 hunting camp locations to chose from and cover
most of the migratory routes of the George River caribou herd. |
| In an effort to deliver great hunts at a reasonable price, Tunilik Adventure has developed a new hunting package targeting hunters that like to contribute to the hunt. ( See the packages section for more details ) |
There have been reports in the industry that the leaf River caribou herd (Northwestern Quebec) is on the decline. Recent biological studies have indicated that the average weight of the calfs of our George River herd are 14 pounds heavier than those of Leaf River herd. Hunting results of last season with the Leaf River herd have indicated a large decrease in trophy quality bulls. Studies are underway to confirm the herds status. |
Tunilik Adventure has recently added a Robertsons helicopter to our existing fleet of aircraft.
