Although Woodland Caribou exist in other areas; Newfoundland offers the only opportunity for a hunt. Woodland Caribou have very poor eyesight although they have an excellent sense of smell. By paying particular attention to the wind direction when stalking an animal, this can help the hunter to get a closer shot. Woodland Caribou often weigh in at an average of 400 pounds or more and yield antlers in the 30-40 inch range.
