Walrus with Canada North Outfitters

[Amphibious]

I'm up in Nunavut working for the last month. lots of walrus about, but they are concentrated in specific locations. You won't have much trouble finding them. Locals are using the good weather to get out and hammer the Narwhal and Beluga. Enjoy your trip, and don't forget to stop at NuBrew on your way out.

Ok, I owe a report. But, this was honestly a life changing trip, and I am still trying to figure out what I want to say. I will post better photos when I get them off of the camera. In summary, a 400 grain Swift A-Frame will not pass through the neck of a large male.

They take that massive creature apart in record time. The risk is the ice. If it closes you in you are in trouble. Also, the butchering is all done on the small piece of ice where the walrus was shot. It's a weird experience.

The Inuit are a very proud, very smart and very capable people. Super friendly too.

These are shots of the images on my camera display. I have not had time to download them. Sorry for the crappy photos.

That is so cool! It brings me back about 25 years. I was up in that neighborhood as a 20 something. This. Makes me motivated to go back and retrace some steps from years ago.

There are sooo.. many adventures to be had.
