Hi all,

I’m interested in learning more about caribou hunting and what preparation actually matters before heading out. From logistics to gear and physical prep, I’d like to understand what separates a smooth trip from a rough one.

For those with experience:

  • Essential gear you wouldn’t go without?
  • Common beginner mistakes?
  • How demanding is the terrain and travel?
Looking forward to learning from those who’ve done it before.
 
DIY, drop camp, or guided will play a big part as well as the general area/herd you plan to hunt and time of year.
