Feature StoryMy Mackenzie Mountains Caribou Adventure
Story by Christine Williamson

Brent and I arrived in Norman Wells September 20, 2007 at 11:20 a.m. Stan Stevens, owner of Mackenzie Mountain Outfitters, greeted us at the airport. We quickly made our way to the Mackenzie Valley Hotel to store our hard gun cases and extra gear that was not needed for the hunt. We then took a short drive to Stan’s dock where his Helio Courier was docked.

The weather was iffy so Stan was in a hurry to board the plane and make our way to camp. We loaded our duffels and guns and we were ready for the forty-five-minute flight to camp. I sat in the co-pilot seat and Brent sat behind us on our duffle bags. I put on the earmuffs as the engine started. I was a little nervous of how I would do on this flight, as I have never been on a plane that small. We started down the lake and before we knew it we were in the air. The scenery was magnificent. We saw moose and caribou from the air, which really got us pumped for the hunt. We started the descent into McClure Lake where I could see camp below.

As the plane touched down on the lake we came closer to the dock where I could see our guide Scotty Boyd and his loyal dog Moose ready to meet us. Stan tied up to the dock and Scotty helped unload our gear. He showed us to our cabin and we started to get settled in. It was about 3 p.m., and we would not start our hunt until tomorrow so Scotty made us a hot lunch of moose tenderloin and rice, and boy did that hit the spot! Brent and I took the rest of the day to prepare our gear for the next days hunt. We shot our rifles to check for accuracy, and loaded our frame packs for the next day.
