I have not gotten one.

The only trip I have made as a group we got two.

One was a bull my buddy stumbled on in a small drainage. He was able to crawl into 50 yards and get an arrow in him.

The other guy was on his way back to the truck after a full day of chasing bulls. Stopped for a break and two bulls came over the top of the ridge. They feed down to within 70 yards and he was able to get an arrow in him. I was off chasing other animals when both where killed.

My first bull caribou was while on a fly out sheep hunt. The weather turned to crap and we were socked in for 5 days. Laying in my tent restless around midnight or so on the last day of the hunt, I heard the rain stop. Excited to stretch my legs I emerged from my tent in my underwear to see the fog had lifted and large antlers were coming over the ridge behind camp. I quickly grabbed my Tikka T3 superlite 7 rem mag and range finder and dove down into a prone position, range the biggest at 606yds and squeeze one off. He spun and dropped and about that time I realized how cold and wet the tundra was on my bare skin and my balls were soaked. My buddy woke to the shot thinking I was defending camp from a grizz and came flying out of his tent naked and wrapped in a sleeping bag with rifle in hand, that was a sight to see. I shouted caribou at which point he too went dick down in the cold wet tundra and shot the second bull. The cubs were heavy when we left the strip with 3 caribou and a sheep. Now I've lost count on how many bulls I've taken home.
