HUNTING IN THE CANADIAN ARCTIC
The
barrens. The cold desert. The wasteland.
These are only a few of the
ways early explorers described this northern land - but it actually supports a
surprising number of wildlife
species.
It was the presence of large
mammals that first drew the Inuit to this country, and it was the same polar
bear, musk ox, caribou and whales
that kept the white man coming back long
after it was realized that there was no reliable Northwest Passage. It is
these same
animals that continue to draw hunters the polar regions today.
A hunt in the Canadian Arctic
is an experience you will never forget.
