So, how is everyone doing on their native soil this year? Feel free to post it here.
I'll keep mine short and sweet. Four days on a bluff I call my 200-foot tree stand looking for moose below yielded no legal moose (it has to be either a spike/fork or 50"+ bull), though two in the illegal range (of course). So I switched to caribou. First day on the Denali Highway I spotted a small herd late in the day and directed some friends to them while I did some more scouting. They got one for the freezer and were hauling out into the night. Next day I spotted another herd of a couple dozen a mile plus out, walked in and after a smaller group made the mistake of looking back one too many times at the idiot taking off his backpack who spooked them I got an 80 yard shot on a fine meat bull. Two trips out the first day until the sun went down and a final trip to get the last of the meat the next day had me feeling tired but happy.
