    How do Caribou react when shot?

    Mine stiffened up and spun around in a circle about 5 times and then tipped over. They seem to give up pretty easy, nothing like whitetails.

    Early Sept vs Late Sept - Western Arctic Herd 23/26A

    Probably because 2022 is mostly, if not all booked up or reserved by now. I locked up a hunt for 2022 earlier this year and most spots were already sewn up. Covid restrictions and lockdowns last year, and the word getting out on DIY Caribou via AK, has increased demand like crazy.

    Time to kill after Caribou Hunt Fairbanks/Tok Area

    We ate dinner at The Pump house and had a pretty good time. Fairbanks Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

    Caribou Meat

    I think the earlier the better meat from bulls. Caribou meat is excellent, and I'm sure there would be debate on which is better. Ive had both and like them both, I found my caribou from late August was better and more tender than elk I've had. Allegedly, the closer to the rut you get, the meat...

    North Slope Boots

    Yep, and most places on the slope, you will be crossing braided streams and drainage where you'll need more than boots and gaiters. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

    North Slope Boots

    Took a pair of meindl with me last time, and ended up living in hip boots. If you can stay on gravel, you'll be ok with good boots and gaiters, otherwise get an ankle fit pair of hip boots. The pic.....those that know, know! Lol Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

    They aren't too shy, the .22 would be just fine. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

    Please tell me where my plan needs work

    Look to the south end, it seems to fair better with the winter kill situation on Kodiak. West side got hit hard season before last. I'd think about taking a .22 take down of some sort perhaps, there are fox everywhere and have beautiful coats. Our group took several fox and had wished we had...

    Kodiak Island August or November?

    I'd do November. We just did last week of October and would have loved to push it into November but couldn't due to scheduling. Towards the end of the week, deer really started to move and come down from elevation. I'd think 4 guys in a camp would be just fine and alot of fun. Sent from my...

    Kodiak 2021 Deer Herd

    I'll echo this statement. We were across the bay over at Zachar Bay, and the hunting was tough. Winter kill in that area had to be in the neighborhood of 60% or even higher. The lodge was great and hospitality and fishing were outstanding and we would like to go back, but it will be a few...

    Kodiak Island 2020- How are the deer holding up?

    Tough hunt, 50-70 % deer loss at Zachar Bay. We found 30 skeletons in one low spot near the beach. We ended up taking 5 doe and only 1 buck. Had a great time and fishing was super, but was a little disappointed with the deer hunting. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

    Hot tent in the Brooks range.

    There isn't much to burn up there, willow can be had in drainage or near lake edges, but not substantial pieces. Small, quick burn warming fires are about as much as you can hope for. We gathered pieces for a few days to have enough for 1 fire 1 evening. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

    Any opinions on a “do it all” shelter?

    Having spent 10 days in the arctic end of August and 7 days on Kodiak end of October, the ability to dry out comes into sharp focus. This year, our first full day in Kodiak was a torrent of rain with rain most other days following. The arctic it rains every day in some form. I worry about...
