LITTLE MARTEN LAKE

Over the last 10 years, our rifle and bow hunters have had 98 percent success on caribou with outstanding trophy quality. Many have made Boone & Crockett Club and The Safari Club International record books in the Central Canada barren-ground caribou category.

Our camp is located 160 miles north of Yellowknife, just above the tree line in the centre of the late summer range of the Bathurst Caribou Herd. This herd now numbers over 500,000 animals.

The camp consists of comfortable heated wall tents on wooden frames. There is a large cooking and dining tent where our cooks prepare excellent camp meals, which often include caribou and freshly caught fish.

This camp is operated in partnership with Dechi Laot'i First Nations.

HUNTING CONDITIONS

During the hunt, you will be transported by boat before walking inland to glass and hunt. The tundra here has many eskers and ridges allowing you to get on higher ground to glass. The eskers and ridges also provide good ground cover enabling hunters to get within rifle and bow range. The terrain is generally dry and rocky; no hip waders are necessary, however, sturdy waterproof hunting boots are a must.

Temperatures can range from 32oF to 75oF in late August and down to 28oF to 40oF in late September. Some snow can be expected in mid to late September and while it generally melts within a day it has been known to stay. At all our Caribou Camps, Wolf, Wolverine, and Ptarmigan are available.

In addition to excellent hunting, all of the lakes provide great fishing opportunities for Lake Trout, Northern Pike, and Grayling.
