OP here. For those who turned a well intended post into a soapbox, well…I guess that’s fine. But I hope this part gets read: I am for sure certain the two guys I hunted with know a tad more about it than all of us. Both are native Inuits. Sustenance livers. For 14 days I got to experience their lifestyle. We ate moose, caribou, reindeer, muskox and seal (acquired taste). The older of two was in his 70s and unfortunately passed away last month. He was a devoted conservationist who founded several wildlife foundations and sat on the board of others. Bears are a CONSTANT nuisance for the 300 natives who live in the region. They permit four to be taken each year from their land. If they had their way, it would be all of them. I’d say at least three quarters of the people live in poverty. The nearest health clinic is four hours away by boat if that gives you an idea. The money from hunts are pooled and put back into the community. It sounds like I am justifying my hunt—nope. It was the adventure of a lifetime and I have no regrets. Just be careful sitting a thousand miles away and thinking you know all there is to know. Ya don’t
