Please note that where hunters are required to take males only, they must retain evidence of sex (testicles or scrotum).

* To distinguish between a male and female caribou, check the sex organs before shooting. A mature male (bull) has a penis sheath that can usually be seen from the side. A female (cow) has a dark patch under her tail. This is the vulva. Please use caution and speak to an elder, experienced hunter or Renewable Resource Officer for more information.

HUNTING REGULATIONS FOR BARREN-GROUND CARIBOU MAY BE CHANGING. Please contact your local ENR office for updated regulations before you go hunting.

Barren-Ground Caribou Sex Identification Can you tell the difference?

DON'T BE FOOLED BY ANTLERS!

Most bulls lose their antlers after the fall rut. If you see a caribou with antlers during the winter, it is probably a cow. Please use caution and check the sex organs before shooting. If you can’t tell the difference between a bull and a cow, please talk to an elder, an experienced hunter, or your local Renewable Resource Officer.
