That last mass crossing of caribou is probably exactly our prehistoric ancestors saw and experienced nature. Plentiful and mostly undisturbed. You have a great privilege to be able to fly into mostly untouched places. Thx for sharing.

Awesome footage of the caribou crossing!! I want to be there really bad. I've been watching any Alaska caribou videos I can find to learn what I need to come up there. Can I email or call you guys to get info about where and when to go? I'm a independent , simple man that knows the outdoors of Montana and can't wait to get to Alaska soon. Thanks for sharing video.

My suggestion is to call and talk to as many outfitters as possible and go with your gut on who feels right. Lots of ways to research out there.

I’m jealous of the fact you are hunting with your dad. I was never able to do that. But made sure I did it with my sons as much as possible. I’m from Pennsylvania and have been to AK last 3 summers for salmon and coming again this year with my sons. Want to do a caribou trip next year. Which herd/location would you recommend? We are huge archery hunters so please take that into consideration.
@Steve-rr3gc4 ай бұрын
I’m extremely lucky, If your a big archery family head up the haul road and hunt the archery only corridor. Can be really good hunting and it’s affordable to just drive up the road. Good luck!
