Alaska DIY caribou hunt
« on: August 31, 2018, 01:10:39 AM »
Just got back from another great DIY hunt in Alaska. This time I brought my son for his first out of state hunt. We had a great hunt and were into caribou the whole time. My son, me and my friend all killed nice mature bulls. My sons bull was quite a bit bigger than mine which is awesome! This trip was a fly in drop camp. The other two trips I’ve done up there were for moose but I think I’m definitely going to do a caribou hunt again.

Looks like a great hunt building huge memories. My son doesn't hunt, so I can only experience this vicariously. Congratulations.

Do you have any terrain/landscape photos. Looks like a beautiful area.

If I can make my face do that during archery season the elk will never know I'm there.
