Hunt Itinerary

Day 0

This is the day before your scheduled hunt date. You will have arrived in Yellowknife and will be met at the airport by our friendly staff. After claiming your baggage, you will be driven to the hotel and if time permits, we will be happy to provide you a tour and show you the many interesting features of our city.

Day 1
At approximately 8:30 AM you will be picked up at the hotel in Yellowknife and driven to the float base for your 9:30 AM departure to the lodge. This one hour and thirty minute flight north will take you over the treeline into the barrens. Jim Peterson, owner & lodge operator will be there to welcome you, assign cabins and introduce the Point Lake staff. The laws of the Northwest Territories prohibit hunting for a minimum of 12-hours after flying. As a result on the first day of your trip you will have the opportunity to s pot caribou, sight in your rifle at the range and become familiar with our operation and meet fellow hunters in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Your hunting day begins with the smell of freshly brewed coffee and a hearty breakfast at the lodge. The excitement builds as each group of hunters heads out with their guide at approximately 7:00 a.m. for a full day on the land. Each day you will travel by boat to various locations on Point Lake and then hike inland to spot caribou. Lunch is on the land. By early evening, you return to the lodge, where you will be welcomed, to share your stories of the days hunt and enjoy appetizers and a sumptuous dinner.

As part of our northern hospitality, you will be treated to a memorable wild game dinner on your last evening at the lodge. A sample menu such as braised caribou back strap, roast caribou heart & tongue, barbecue whiskey trout, garlic parmesan baked trout accompanied with potato au gratin and fresh salad are some of the dishes you can look forward to eating.

Day 7

On the final day of your trip, you will depart the lodge at 11:00 AM, arriving in Yellowknife approximately 12:30 PM. Our friendly staff will be there to greet you at the float base and help load your baggage, antlers and meat for the short drive to the Department of Resources. This is where you will pay your trophy fee and obtain the proper documentation (export permit) to transport your meat home. It can take an hour to process the proper documentation for all ten hunters so while you are waiting you we provide water, coffee, hot chocolate & snacks for your enjoyment. Afterward we will drive you to the airport or to the hotel to check-in. If time permits, we can stop for a quick lunch and/or souvenir shopping.

Please note: We do our utmost to stay within these time frames, however, there is the possibility of delays due to uncontrollable factors such as bad weather.
