Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

That's much better than any hunting magazine story I've read in a long time. Thank you for taking us along.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Great story, thank you for sharing.  Brings back fond memories of working in the Brooks Range and staying in Deadhorse.  Was the "hotel" you stayed at called the Aurora?  That place was a palace, by Deadhorse standards.

Yes, it was the Aurora.  And yes, compared to the other camps, it was the Waldorf... :chuckle:
On the way out we stayed the night at Elk Camp.  $15 cheaper, but not quite as "fancy"... :rolleyes:

Awesome. Great write up. Glad you can do these hunts with your boys before they get too busy with life, work, families, etc. Me and my brother went to the Brooks on a self guided float trip for moose this last year and are starting to pick the year out we will be going back for Caribou. Hopefully in the next 2-3 years, which means we need to get on contracting transporters yesterday
