They had travelled inland by dog team, over the sea ice from the RCMP post at Herschel, to observe the westward movement of Caribou along the foothills of the British Mountains. Once the ice was out, they expected to be picked up by Mike Zubko, a pilot from Aklavik, who would be able to land on the river with his pontoon-equipped Cessna 170. In retrospect, Munro remembered the expedi- tion quite positively: Our time in camp was useful and personally rewarding. The caribou eventually came through our area. We observed the behaviour of cows and calves at the time of calving and we got the sex and age counts we wanted. We lived surrounded by Rock and Willow Ptarmigan and saw all aspects of the onset of their breeding Because of the critical importance of country food to the well-being of many residents of the north, reproductive success was of particular interest in many Caribou studies.
