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 :chuckle:
I wasn't commenting on the toys, I was commenting on the IT skills :dunno:
But both questions are applicable :chuckle:

Just joking. Have a great trip fella. You are living the dream most of us have on an annual basis. Be safe and share the pics with us when you return.

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.

What brand is your ATV trailer?
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!

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?

August is a great time! They will be in velvet. They will be up high with the sheep and goats but they taste amazing in Aug.
