ColeyG gave you the best name in the biz. Super tough tag to draw. Scenic area, low caribou density but there are a few good ones around and Its honestly more like a sheep hunt than that of a caribou hunt. We shot a little one and a Grizz in there when we went in 14'.
Sure did! I called the places on their website.....Tannery was crazy rude and literally said "too busy to help you" and basically hung up on me because we weren't interested in any taxidermy work by them. And Smokehouse said they'd only do it if we paid them to process all the meat 1st...

Been there, done that. From MI too I see! Your plan, and dates are solid. Its a tough hunt, but you should find success. There's some pretty smart guys on here that have already confirmed things such as binos & forget the spotter, Blueberry Bear meat is freaking silly good, Bear dense area...
Dumb Question: Does anyone know what the CC Statement Hit or title looks like? Meaning I tried to apply for raffle tix but am having some internet issues it seems and I don't see anything showing up on my CC Statement that would lead me to believe it actually went thru. I'd rather not have...
