I took my All Purpose Boy the last few days of 2000. It was worth every cent. I have no idea how many of them I mounted, but for a few years they were really popular with the hunters in this area.

I don’t know what the real cuplprit is or was with the decimation of the herds, but the winter hunts that took place along the transaiga Highway in the caribou winter range , IMO did a lot of damage.

I have a good friend that stays in contact with the Humes and there has been no good news on the reopening in the near future.

We missed the migration the first time at the camp we stayed at, but in 89 we talked the outfitter in to opening a week earlier than usual. Six hunters, 12 bulls. It took 3-1/2 days for that particular herd to pass through the camp area. Better than Serengeti migration cause that was only ONE herd. Many would go through during the entire time of the migration. I believe the estimated population back then was around 800,000 plus.
