| Q : | What is the difference between 1x3 semi-guided and 1x3 fully guided ? |
| A : | Well, let me put it this way ,a 1x3 fully guided is a adventure share by 3 friends in the tundra hunting together all the time and being part of each other's success !!! For me it's the ultimate way to hunt : 1 dedicated guide , 3 buddies together in caribou heaven !!!! Just think of the memories , the fun , laughter and team spirit you will experience !!! |

| A : | Don't worry we will match you up with some fellow hunter(s)and after a few hours we will all become friends !!! Remember we are all in this together !!!! |
| Q : | Are different packages offered at the same camp site ? |
| A : | Usually not but in some rare case to ensure success to all our guest we might have to move some hunters to more productive camps. |
| Q : | What is the difference between the Leaf river herd and the George river herd? |
| A : | The Leaf river herd lives higher up the northern Ungava peninsula and migrates down to the lower part of the tundra, it tends to produce bigger bulls with a whiter coat, The George river herd is located around Shefferville it sometimes mixes with the Leaf river herd, it tends to have a more creamy chocolate color coat. |

The cook will then put every thing necessary on the counter for everyone to make their lunch to their own desire to bring with then in the tundra. Everybody is usually back by 5:00pm and dinner is served at 6:00pm, again the staff might be served first so they could start preparing the meat and racks for shipment the next morning. The staff will turn off the generator at 10:00pm but you can use the lantern supplied in camp to have some light to talk or play cards. |
