I hunted caribou out of Kotzebue in 2007 and spent a couple of days with some Eskimos who were also hunting 'bou. They were not Inuits, but Inupiaks. They all used small calibers .243, 22-250, etc., and their rifles were well cared for, not rusty at all.

Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.
