Josh Mapsalak cuts open the steaming ribcage of a female caribou in front of a Naujaat home Monday evening. His friend, Lionel Angotingoar, shot three caribou — two female, one male — just a few hours earlier. The successful hunt happened less than five kilometres from town. These caribou had an odour to them, as mid-October means it’s mating season. (Photo by David Venn)
