If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

How do you like the vestibule on the Bighorn?  I've been tossing around the idea, but haven't been able to separate myself from the $250.

I love it!!! It's perfect for setting up on a hill in nasty weather and glassing in. I also love to store all my stuff in it keeping the inside clean! Pain to set it up but well worth it.

Home made! Took a fish tote, made the lid and frame in our shop at school and bought an axle tire kit from a place here in town. I've got about $500 into it. It's super nice! Fully loaded I can tote it around via hand, perfect tongue weight!

Headed back out tomorrow until Monday with my wife and one of my step daughters. We literally have enough stuff packed for a month, it's a little rediculous. I'll be strapping animals on the roof if We get any! Meat wagons full, 400 qt yeti is full, another 100 qt cooler is full. We will be living in style once we drag all of it 3 hrs down the trail  :chuckle:

Headed up into the Alphebets in between the Big Sue and the Mclaren on the Denali Hwy.

Got back tonight it was a fun hard hunt. It snowed, rained and was sunny. We saw around 100 animals and I missed the bull of a life time. Group ended up taking a nice three yr old that the 1/4s weighed on today at the butcher at 195 lbs. I did take one bad fall and gouged my knee and possible fractured my arm but I braced it up to finish the hunt. I'll see a doc tomorrow. Overall good time with my family.

Cool thread Teacherman!

Now that I am teaching, it's hard to get out of state to hunt in the fall.  I have been kicking around the idea of caribou hunting in August before school starts.  Do you think August is a good time to find a bull (DIY)?  Would it be worth the trip?
