2021 AK haul road and caribou report
I've thought about how to exercise for tundra and it's an odd thing. Possibly an elliptical machine with your pack on and then a resistance band around your ankles. It's endless clumps of grass (tussocks) that are ankle to mid shin high, swampy/squishy between them but when you step on a clump... -

2021 AK haul road and caribou report
With what we experienced, hunting near the road was just too competitive this year. I imagine during a season with good numbers it could be different. I always practice to 100-110 normally anyway but ethically wouldn't take over a 60-70 shot on an animal and that is pushing it. These are the... -

My first haul road hunt, pro's and cons
We went up on the 9th and back on the 22nd of August. The road wasn't in too bad of shape with the last 50 miles or so to deadhorse as new asphalt. We timed our trip completely wrong for this year (migration hadn't started). Around Happy Valley area there were many camps that had nice bou racks... -

Thanks for the great site
First time poster, long time lurker here. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone asking the questions ( both good and cringe worthy) and to everyone who has been there/done that and answered them. I think I've been able to prepare fully just from this forum and the multitude of youtubes out...
