Anyone here ever make it down that way to hunt caribou? Anyone want to go? I'm thinking early August, like around the 1st or so that way I can be back to hunt the sheep opener.
I was on private contract with the United States during the Cold War and Adak was a fall back when things became too "strenuous" while stationed on the so-called "outer-islands". Aside from the prostitutes allowed on-island during the 1980's, the caribou hunting was fantastic. The caribou were ecologically introduced via the Feds and the State, back in the 1950's, to support the military. The caribou came from the Nelchina Basin and the hunting on Adak has been phenomenal since then. Bulls in excess of 360 B&C inches have been killed there (Adak Island).
