    Arctic Air DIY Caribou Hunt Kotzebue in depth review with map

    They didn’t even show us a caribou from the air last year. Gary doesn’t decide where you hunt, the pilots do and they don’t seem to care about anything other than their tip.

    2023 Caribou Hunt with Arctic Air

    We saw 3 grizzlies. One fed on berries every day on a hill about a mile from camp. We watched one catch fish one evening 250 yards from camp. That was really neat to see. We also saw a small bull moose and also a cow and calf. There was a 40 yard encounter with a wolf. We were in camp and the...

    12x50s which one?

    The glass seems ok to me but I haven’t compared them to anything else. The tripod mount is hard to install with my fingers. I can’t fit my fingers between the barrels very easily so I ihave to use a srew driver.

    Hoyt Torrex?
