Much like 2021, we waited for the circus season to close and tried again. Found lots of caribou but so few big bulls this year. Figured eventually we’d cross paths with one and we did. 35 yard shot and a 50 yard death run.
We packed that bull to camp and found another. As we were hiking towards him to figure out a stalk, he bedded right under some rocks. Our job just got much easier, slipped around the backside of the Rocky outcropping and snuck into 50 yards above him. He stood after a bit and the arrow was on...
We ended up notching 10 tags that weekend, what a great time.
Didn’t hunt caribou in 2022 cause I was made to move to Florida for 10 months. After a few months, we decided to take our future into our own hands, made some risky life decisions and drove back to Alaska for good. It all worked out...
After packing that one out I lended my services to my friends and helped them pack out the 4 they had arrowed.
Next day a good push came through and I had a few hundred come by me. 20 yard shot and tagged out for the season.
Hunted some other stuff and waited for the NR season to close and tried again. Caribou hunting is much more fun without all the madness.
First morning we found a group of bulls and this one caught my eye. 45 yard shot and died within 60.
Time to add a few more to this thread.
Early 2021 I headed north on a quick solo hunt. Arrived in fog and rain but began glassing in a likely spot in between fog rolling in. Found this bull bedded a ways out and stalked into 50 yards. After an hour, he stood up and walked right to me. 10 yard...
Sitka under an orange vest, an unnecessary cowboy hat, product placement of a box of bullets no one can read. Staged photo of him walking with his rifle. Ummmm, everything?
I can't imagine the pressure hunting for the Gram has on people, I feel terrible for them. I don't think I hunt with a single person that wouldn't have told that gal Congrats and given her the deer... If her story is true, it's her deer. If his story is true, it's still her deer.
