[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1843662, member: 6330"] When I went caribou hunting we were in Northern Quebec. We were hunting the Green River Herd. There were bulls everywhere. Take your time and select a bull with Double Shovels. Don't let the guide rush you. Three of us went in our group and we got 6 bulls. Shots were 30 to 125 yards. 2 guys used .30-06 I had a .308, all used 180 gr cup and core bullets. 1 bull required two shots. I quess if you wanted to shoot further you could, but plenty of animals to choose from. Two days later we were shooing caribou out of camp. Years prior on our Moose hunt we hunted a Zec in South central Quebec. It was so thick that you literally had to swim through the first year pine trees. No one got a moose, but shots would have been tag-you're-it ranges. Also, don't expect to take a back-up rifle on a float-plane. They have very strict weight limits. Warm clothes, sleeping bag, boots and quality rain gear are a must. Your .30-06 is plenty. Unless you want to buy a new rifle.... Good Luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
