Minister Announces Opening of Orma North Caribou Extension Zone Kevin Aylward, Minister responsible for wildlife, announced that effective immediately, the Orma North caribou extension zone will be opened to caribou hunting. The minister has received information that the caribou are now north of Snail Lake, the extreme northern end of Orma Road, northeast of Churchill Falls. It appears that substantial numbers of George River caribou have entered this zone, and satellite collar locations corroborate these reports. The minister is pleased to provide residents with this hunting opportunity. "The staff of the Wildlife Division of my department will continue to monitor the movement of the George River caribou herd," said the minister. "Hunters are advised that additional areas may be opened as the caribou migration continues." "I would like to remind all hunters to apply safe and ethical hunting practices," said Ernest MacLean, MHA - Lake Melville. "I wish hunters every enjoyment and success in their hunting pursuits."
