Alaska caribou

[TeacherMan]

Well it's that time of year! School starts back up for me today 😜 our summer is way to short! Can't wait until I finally move back to WA to get an extra month lol. With this said caribou, sheep and wolf open on Sunday! I've already got my trailers packed, wheeler and 6x6 tuned up, tent double checked, and taken one lass trip to the range. Should be a fun hunt! We are headed out Fri after work for a quick weekend (have enough gear for a month) up into unit 13. If anything it will be a good scouting trip for moose. It's also going to be my wife and step daughters first hunt with me so pray they goes well lol. I'll let you know how it goes when it's all said and done.

I wasn't commenting on the toys, I was commenting on the IT skills   

But both questions are applicable

I just loaded the pics from my phone thats how they came out 

Caliber choice: its like golf, depends on the shot, lol. I'm bringing my 338RUM with 250gr Barnes Triple Shocks, 375Ruger with 300gr Barnes Triple Shocks (mostly for big bear) and my 223VTR with 75gr boattail hollowpoints. Oh and the .500 if its up close and I can take it with a pistol

Well it was a fun trip quicker than expected. My step daughter couldn't get the time off this week so I'll have to head out again next weekend lol. Anyway I ended up going by myself. Didn't get into the field actually until Saturday afternoon and it opened today do I really only got one day of hunting/scouting. Saturday I saw a bruiser caribou bull and coup sub legal sheep. Went back up this morning in that spot and didn't see any bou so I headed down the trail about 10 more miles and I ended up in caribou all day! Problem being I didn't see any large bulls. Cows, calves and small bulls. I did end up finding huge bog that held me up for about 3 hrs. When you get a 6x6 stuck it sucks! I ended up having to have two CanAm1000s and an Argo winch me out!

For those who know the area I went in at Gunsite, cut down to Sqaw Creek then over to the Eureka trail system to Monument down into the Little Nelchina then over to the Tyone up Tyone Creek then over another pass into another stream system don't know it's name cut back along the other side of that mt. Range to white sands and back to the Little Nelchina 😜 anyway 78 miles on the 6x6 today. Great day can't wait until next weekend to do it for several days again!
