My buddy and I were successful on our first caribou hunt this past August. Great DIY hunt out on the tundra.

I took this bull several years ago. I’ve been told that this herd is all but gone.

Congrats on the great animals and beautiful pics! My question to the group...

Do you do this hunt DIY or spend more and go with a guide??

It was a blast!

How hard was it getting outside the 5 mile limit for rifle?

It’s very doable but it’s tough. Most people overestimate their ability/underestimate the difficulty. A big factor is how full the creeks are. There are creeks that weave all throughout the tundra and when I was up there this fall many people considered many of them impassible.

Thanks for sharing the video. I've used these waders before. Wonder how they would do.

Looking to maybe hunt the Haul Road 2027

It was not bad. If you can do a pack-in elk hunt you can walk in the 5 no issue. However if you try to pack out a bou and all your gear at once, that may be a different story. I did walk/hike before the trip, I tried to prep myself.
