"Brand new camps"
Tuttulik
Outfitters has recently built 4 brand new camps that have
been located strategically to allow our hunting & fishing
operation to cover the entire eastern, western and
northeastern sectors of the Minto Lake region. The camps
have been chosen for their geographic location in relation
to the main migration routes of the Leaf River Caribou herds
as they leave their summer ranges. The camps are spread out
and situated, from 45 to 100 miles inland or east of
Hudson's Bay. |
"Big boats, good motors, and hot showers"
Each of our camps offers accommodations for 10-12 hunters that includes a full kitchen, main camp for sleeping, guides quarters and meat storage facility. Equipment such as large boats with big outboard motors, a 4 wheel all terrain vehicle with trailer, and satellite telephone communications are standard issue for each of our sites. Each camp is full insulated, well furnished and heated by stove oil. In the evenings, clients also have the luxury of a hot shower and electricity generated by our gas generators. Nothing has been spared to keep our hunters dry, warm, and well fed in this artic environment. Each camp also has its own runway to allow for twin-engine turbo prop access with the twin-otter on tundra wheels.

"New Working Man Hunt"
This hunt is conducted at the old Umiujaq Outfitters
camps located on and near Lac Minto in Northwestern Quebec.
These camps were made famous by all the trophy Pope & Young,
Boone & Crockett bulls that were harvested there over the
years. UOl operated these camps from 1994-2001, when the
camps were included with Tuttulik Outfitters Inc. At that
time the drive up hunt to Radisson was discontinued, and
these camps were not used, except when necessary! Well now
it is back! We will be offering this hunt for years to come,
these camps are great for the do it yourselfer who enjoys
hunting with a few of his buddies, helping each other.
Tuttulik will always have at least 1 camp man there to
shuttle the hunters from place to place as needed by boat.
The waters in this part of the world are very treacherous,
and not to be taken lightly! Your safety is paramount in our
minds. Satellite Telephone service will be available also at
these camps.
The clients hunting these camps in 1996-1997 took first
place at the 1997 Pope & Young Banquet in Omaha, along with
7 other places in the top 10. Then in 1999 and again in 2003
the top honors went to Tuttulik's clients from animals
harvested on Lac Minto. These camps we use for these drive
up hunts have the potential to produce the next world
record, of course all of Tuttuliks camps have the same
ability. Right now there are 5 camps in the drive up system
from Radisson and 4 other camps that are operated out of
Montreal. All of our drive up camps has to be serviced by
floatplanes, whereas the trips from Montreal have
tundra-based airstrips.
These camps are more rustic than our fancier fly in camps
but everything you will need to keep you warm, comfortable
and dry will be there. Bag showers will also be there for
your use, as a whole week without a shower can get rough,
been there done that. All you will need to prepare your
meals; the whole basic package will be there for your use.
We also plan to have a small vacuum packer there for your
use and your more than welcome to bring one from home.
Vacuum packers and bags weigh little but can save you
considerable headaches in dealing with your meat on the way
home. Taking the time to butcher the quarters here not only
gets the weight issue we have with the planes in line but
also protects the meat. Once it is sealed, it would be hard
to lose your meat on the way home. We will have large bags
in camp that you can use to seal your capes in for the trip
out. We have generators at all sites, so electricity for
charging video batteries, vacuum packers is not an issue.
Many of our old clients have reemerged after finding out
that we now have the drive up again. They remember the trips
they have done in the past with us and several dozen of them
have already booked for future hunts. Don't be left out, if
you think you cannot afford the cost of a hunt from
Montreal, then here is your option, give it a try! One
warning though, this hunt is extremely habit forming and
most of you will be back.
