Late september caribou and fishing

[Akselaken]

Headed out of kotzebou September 21st for caribou. I was wondering if we were to be placed by a river if the fishing would be good. I plan on bringing a fly rod.

Usually if you're on the south side of the divide, but north of divide lakes seemingly have more in them than rivers. Depends on the spot really.

Im assuming we will be on the south side being so late. Not sure what our transporter has planned to do exactly. Told us to call a few weeks before and he would have a good idea where we are going.

Nice!!!! well be right ahead of you

How are you feeling with all the closures and there plans. I cant see us going on the north slope that late.

 

[Larry Bartlett]

not worried. hunt below mean high water in closed areas, obey the laws, fish and fun.

 

[Akselaken]

I get hunt under the low water means. Does that mean you cannot walk outside of them qithout fearing a fine. I just think there is so many loop holes in this that they wont be able to hold ul in court unless there is a caribou killed outside of high water. I plan on bowhunting so this may cause a huge issue with me. Granted i can use my buddies rifle but would really love to harvest with a bow.

You can be above mean high all you want. But when you pull the trigger the animal and you should be below mean high water. The federal lands aren't shut down to the public in that area other then for caribou/moose.

Ya thats what i figured. Lets say a guy bowhunts and shoots below high levwl mark but animal runs out. Do you think they could get you on that.

 

[kwackkillncrew]

Not if you can prove you shot it below. I would document everything possible with a camera.

I don't know if it's possible, judging by the fact that it's a little bit too late. Better check with locals. And I have one more piece of advice: be prepared to have all the necessary tools as you never know what to expect in a new place. I usually tend to prepare for different kinds of emergencies even though everything goes well in the end
