The guy who really wanted a caribou connected the day before the last day on a nice caribou. One guy didn’t get a chance at nothing, stalked one caribou that was 1/2 short on one point of being legal. Nobody killed any moose while I was there. I had one big bull come cruising by @ 600 yards...
What an awesome adventure!! Tough moose hunting, saw several bulls just couldn’t get on any or get them to come to our calling. Hunted at spike camp for 7 days then went back to the main camp to give caribou a try. After sitting in the rain and snow and wind for six hours the fog finally...
Yea I’ve been watching it and forming a back up plan for the days we were gonna spend in Jasper. Thinking maybe a couple days of camping on the very upper end of the elk river. I tried to get up there in May when I was working up there but hit snow. Maybe re-route my drive through Kamloops….
No, I bought a chest freezer with a fridge setting. I’ll just chill it for the drive then process at home, vacuum seal & freeze then. I chose that over coolers because I wanna keep the meat dry and not laying in ice water for 3-4 days. I can make good time with my setup in my truck, but it’s...
Got my freezer & generator last month. Got my bed extension to box in the area with my tailgate town. Most of my gear is organized and stored in dry bags. Just gotta wash everything and re-pack in when I get home. I travel for work and I gotta take a week off before I leave to get everything...
Mine is driving up with me, we’re spending a week hiking around the Golden/Jasper/Banff area. Then she is flying out of Calgary and I’m going on to Dease lake. I gotta take her by the Ammolite shop in Banff and spend a little on a new Ammolite piece while we’re there. Small price to pay for...
Funny thing for me is I booked my hunt a year and a half ago, then in January my home office said they had a job in BC and I’m in southern BC right now. Unfortunately the job isn’t gonna last until September. I haven’t ran into any locals that know Jim but I have met some people who have hunted...
I missed the convention by one day because a job I was on and couldn’t leave, but I was driving through the next morning and he took the time to have coffee with me and talk for a bit. The first time I talked to him we got to talking about horses and such and wound up on the phone for almost two...
Was there any issues getting the meat across the border? Did you have to label every bag or anything? I’m going next year (driving) and I want to be prepared and not take any chances.
My Own Chains
I’ll never forget, my first drink
The devil gave this child a choice, and I forged that link
Fourteen years of age, far to young to see
I had sold myself, into slavery
He never said it outright, what he sought to do
Simply opened up the door, for me to walk through...
Yea I wasn’t interested in a lake hunt as I love being up in the mountains on a horse in the wilderness. I never really thought about caribou much until I got to looking for a moose hunt. Somewhere along the line I decided I’d try for both. Plus my wife really wants one of those pretty hides...
I’m going to Northern BC September 12-24 2024 for a horseback moose/caribou hunt. I’m looking for some gear recommendations. Specifically for outer layers. I’m looking at the Kuiu Super Down PRO jacket pants and the Kutana Gale force Jacket & pants. Leaning towards the Super down but I’ve heard...
I guess I’m lucky, I’m going to northern BC next year and she supports me 100% just as long as I bring the meat home. She understands since we can’t have kids I need that adventure. And neither one of us likes eating domesticated meat as much as wild game. So two years worth of work makes pretty...
