8 day hunt, i'd turn the ears and lips as well as salt the hide. Keep your meat dry, in the shade of a tarp and up off the ground to allow air yo circulate around it. We did a 10 day hunt and had kills on days 3, 4, and 5. Everything worked out well, and we were two weeks ahead of you guys and...
Take some 10" cyclone stakes with you. We got hit with 50 mph wind one night and glad we had them for the corners and rain flys.

We hunted the North side of the Brooks in 2018, roughly same time period. It rained everyday in some form, one day it rained 26 hours. Tundra is a spongy thing, try and get on some gravel or non tussock spot that's level. The day it hit 70 degrees, the skeeters were insane. Everyone in our group...
If plan on an Alaskan caribou hunt as opposed to Quebec. The Canadians shut down caribou hunting in Quebec where alot of those 2 bull hunts were filmed.
Go to Alaska, have your wife hunt too, start planning now and calling transporters.

Thanks for sharing and congrats! It's incredible country up there, and it has a way of getting into your blood. We are heading to Kodiak this year and can't wait!

Has anyone tried to burn some small pieces of coal to keep the burn overnight a bit longer? I'm talking just a piece or two? Coal burns abit hotter and longer than wood.

Great video Randy, and congrats on realizing a dream. There is something special about the north country. Can't wait to get back to Alaska this fall, Kodiak.

Morning fellas,
Group of us are heading to Kodiak this October and are staying over at Zachar Bay the last week. We have been pretty diligent on our research and felt pretty good about our booking. This winter seems to be pretty rough up there and we are a bit anxious about what the herd is...
You can grab waxed fish boxes at Fred Meyer for caribou meat if you don't use soft coolers. Tubs work too, just make sure you secure the lids. If your meat is frozen, should be fine in belly of the plane. For reference, an RTIC 40 can hold more than 50 lbs of meat. Weigh your bags, otherwise...
No problems when coming back with caribou in 2018. Meat went checked bag, must be sealed up and no ice. Antlers, we bundled together and took 1 charge of $150.
Flew home with pronghorn in delta this past year, no issues, dry ice allowed, had soft sided coolers.
Heading to Kodiak in October...
Hunted pronghorn for the first time last year, Nebraska. OTC archery tags for non resident, hunted private land and paid for services...blinds over waterholes as was a bit early for spot and stalk and decoys. Public land in Nebraska gets pounded from what I understand, and best bet is to go...
Great post and information. Having planned and coordinated a diy caribou hunt in 2018, North Slope....completely concur. It's alot of planning, calling, references, local Intel, etc. Book out as far in advance as you can, it helped us spread some cost out which helped our more price sensitive...
