    First Alaskan Caribou Hunt Booked

    Thanks for your input Mule. Did you have any trouble with your meat and grizzlies? I think that's my biggest concern. I know it happens, but sure would hate to lose a pile of meat to bears.

    Oh man. Well, congrats on the baby! Babies are cool. Are they letting you reschedule? How did that conversation go? I'm assuming you had already paid a deposit.

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

    We would be screwed lol. As far as an escrow account, no. It's that guys money now.

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

    Most transporters require a 50% deposit. Basically every transporter out of Kotzebue requires 50% or close to it upon booking. Transporters range from roughly $3k-$6k.

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

    No no no, please don’t apologize. First off, we had been leaning this way for sometime but just locked it in yesterday. Also, the outfitter said there’s plenty of room left for 2023 if we want to change our dates (basically giving us a few months if we change our minds) so I am genuinely curious...

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

    Sept 15-24... My brother's anniversary is the 12th so we had to work around that. Otherwise, we would've been a week earlier.

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

    Lot's of good stuff in this, thank you. Trying to find what exactly my rain gear should look like, and assume I may wear it the entire trip. I don't want to pack too many clothes, but I'd rather not be soaked or freeze wishing I had more (seems to be a theme with first time caribou people from...

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

    Good to know. I appreciate it! I wouldn't be surprised if everyone but me brought one, and it's my biggest regret of the trip, but I'm leaning towards not. Plenty of time to weigh the options (literally).

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

    Haha, I actually have your post bookmarked and shared it with the crew months ago. Thanks again for posting it. Lots of valuable insight in there. Your temp range had us a bit concerned but I think we should be alright. I read where you guys took cots, I've always just used a pad (sometimes 2)...

    Exactly our thought process as well. Now just trying to get creative on how to keep the meat secure with bears. Good luck!

    Ok, since no one replied I cancelled the whole hunt and I'm going vegan.

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

    Ready to put a deposit down on a 2023 Caribou drop hunt flying out of Kotzebue. We are really leaning towards late September, but can't help but wonder how cold it will actually be. Any thoughts? What's your experience? Seems like the migration picks up the farther into September you go, or am I...

    Well, for starters, it's tough to find a bad review... they are there, but not prominent. I've had the opportunity to talk to a few people who have gone with GE, and heard nothing but great things. I'm not saying that the other two are bad choices, but you can find a considerable amount of...

    If you guys ever get a chance to go to Ireland, do it. It's about the cheapest Euro vacation you can have and the distilleries are wild. County Cork is where the Midleton Distillery is - Jameson, Powers, Paddy's, Redbrest, and the king of them all- Midleton Very Rare are all distilled there. My...

    One day, I would love to do this. But this first time, I'm gonna let somebody fly me out LOL. But in all seriousness, this looks like a blast. Congrats! That can't be an easy hunt. Cheers

    New guy here but not new to whiskey... My personal favorite casual go-to's: Irish - Redbrest Bourbon- Woodford Reserve Sctoch - Lagavulin (Glenlivet 12 if I'm feeling something less peaty) Cheers!
