Alaska DIY Caribou Info

[idaho guy]

Its through Arctic Air . They do a package where you can rent all the camping gear from them and they supply food for the week. Makes it a lot easier for traveling on commercial flight. We each can bring 80lbs of our gear which includes your weapon of choice.
 Idaho guy: Do you have any pictures of the bulls you guys got?

I can take a picture of my shoulder mount caribuou. I had awesome pictures and video of grizzlys,wolverine and other hunt stuff but it was on a disk and I lost it! We brought our own gear and food but that is probably who we used if its out of kotz. We got stuck in Kotzebue for a couple days on the way out due to weather and couldn't fly out so thats something else to consider. Maybe you can rent a room at Marthas too you haven't lived till you did that!

Sounds like Marthas may be a good time ;-) I would love to see you mount. To bad you lost your videos and pics. How many caribou did you see on your trip?

[idaho guy]

Not very many really we saw the 2 we got that we thought were shooters. It would have been a little different I think from talking to the locals(3 days in kotz  )they said at times they come through like cattle when migrating which you should hit right. You will have a blast. It was awesome being hundreds of miles from a road and no other people or hunters anywhere.

nice bull. how hard was it to perverse the velvet? I dont think we'll find any in velvet in sept but you never know.

[idaho guy]

Preserving the velvet was no problem. I had done it with mule deer etc. and I never have done anything in the field other than be careful. my friend I was hunting with knew someone in Anchorage we took it too before I brought it down. He did something to preserve it I don’t remember what
