Abstract
- The article presents information related to hunting places for hunters. For a true elk hunt here's no better place than the Absaroka and Beartooth mountains north of Yellowstone Park in Montana. Quebec has the densest caribou population in North America, nearly a million animals roaming a subarctic, glacier-scraped tundra landscape that is larger than Texas. The hunter-success rate is extra-ordinary in Quebec. Newfoundland is more saturated with moose than anyplace else in North America. Somewhere between 120,000 and 150,000 animals fill every available square mile of river valley, forested lakeshore, and low-lying woodland in the province. The hunter-success rate is near 90 percent, and many mature Newfoundland bulls carry antlers measuring more than 50 inches wide. Hunting the coast of Southeast Alaska is like stepping into a primeval land. The rugged mountains of the Tongass National Forest are covered with ancient spruce, some of which date back 1,000 years.
