Upland game hunting in northern Quebec is one of the most unique
bird hunting opportunities available to shotgun hunters today.
We are offering Ptarmigan hunts over your dog during late September
and early October. This is when the birds are starting to form fairly
large covies. You will be out, two hunters per guide and one dog per
two hunters will be included in the cost of the hunt. Additional dogs
can be brought for the minimal charge of the air from Montreal to
Kuujjuaq and return.
The birds will be almost pure white at this time of year and offer
excellent sport as well great fare for the table. You can take 15 birds
each per day and have 30 in possession with a valid game permit.
We can also offer this same package during March from the village of
Kuujjuaq instead of from our base camp on Lake Dufreboy. This
would be done by using snowmobiles.
Ptarmigan Camp
The camp is located in the area known as the Ungava Bay Region of
northern Quebec's Eastern Arctic. It is in Inuit controlled lands,
governed under the James Bay Agreement. The area consists of
300,000 square miles of the most pristine landscapes, dotted with as
many lakes as land. It is above the tree line, which offers clear and
open shooting.
The camp itself is very comfortable and consists of two individual
wooden cabins set up to accommodate 4 hunters in each and two
cabins for the guides and kitchen staff. The kitchen and dining area
is extremely well equipped and is separate from the sleep cabins.
The camp has hot & cold running water, generator and oil heat.
Meals are "camp" style. They are healthy and nourishing with no
shortage of supplies to contend with. We have a full time cook as
well a camp caretaker who makes sure everything is in order when
you arrive back to camp after a days hunt. We can assure to you
that it is clean, comfortable and well maintained. Please note that
special arrangements can be made to accommodate couples.
