Nahanni Butte "south" camp

[j3butch]

Looking for intel/recommendations from those that have hunted with the Lancaster's out of their south Nahanni Butte camp. Specifically what dates, successes and/or challenges.

Hunted with Jim and Clay in 2010 and 2012 for moose out of Nahanni. They are great at what they do and if you can move and shoot, you should do well. Big wild country.
Jim is great at communication and logistics. Travel and getting meat and trophy home takes some effort and cost but it's worth it.
If you go, slow down and enjoy every aspect of the trip. It will be a highlight of your life.
I hunted both times around September 6th. Killed a good bull each time.

Thanks for the reply. I got my Dall with them out of the June lake camp last August and could not have asked for more. I originally tried to book moose with them first week of September 2027 out of June lake but as it turns out our communication path failed. Now I’m offered a hunt out of the south camp “NBO” later in September 2027.

Is there a significant difference between the different camps (success, style of hunting, terrain, etc)? I’m booked for moose and caribou (and goat if there is time) with them in 2027 (sep 5-15) but I don’t even know which camp it is in. It never came up in my communications with Jim.

Yes there’s a significant difference. You should ask them which one.

So with your experience what do you say is the significant difference. I've only hunted out of June lake camp

I definitely will. Thanks!

Do you mind elaborating a little on the differences? Are they “equal but different” or is one definitely better to hunt out of than the other? Reasons?
