It's a real time crunch for reviewing data and releasing quotas but I would suspect quotas for Steese and Taylor will be reduced and probably bulls only. I'm hoping the 40MCH disperses or at least doesn't concentrate on the Steese for opening. I think I mentioned that the herd has been in Yukon Territory recently.

The herd is back in Alaska and drifting west. Data is still being reviewed and preliminary quota numbers may happen this week with final approval available by mid July..........hopefully.

Don't expect great things!

If you do hunt the 40 Mile Country, please remove some predators.

Is there a website that shows the quotas and how many are left once season starts, or do you just have to call the #?

ADFG can't update the numbers as quickly as they'd like as it takes time to receive reports from hunters but they work closely with 40 Mile Air and keep abreast of anecdotal reports.

I wouldn't expect you to have a problem as you are primarily going on a trophy caribou hunt versus a quick meat hunt.

Your timing is good as the bulls have shed much of their velvet and necks are white. Nights will be cool for chilling meat. Please give us an after hunt report. I've hunted much of that country for 30 years.

You will see grizzlies.

Hoping we see wolves on our hunt, and get a shot at them...
