Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Alaskan's What is your favorite species to hunt in AK?

OK- to cover a couple of the above posts:

Here in Kotzebue i am a "subsistence" hunter. 5 caribou per day (cuz that's all you can get on a regular basket or newer poly-sheet sled - if you have a big one. I can get only 3 on my POS folding sled. Which doesn't mean I can't go back for the extras, like last year. 5 'bou in less than 30 seconds. Two runs for retrieval. Short hunting season...

As to the "winter yuck bull" - just don't shoot them in October... Those 5 above were taken November 11, all bulls, 3 of them having already lost their antlers. Below is the largest.



And one of the "antlerless" bulls from second retrieval, kitchen skinned and butchered (my wife was SO happy! )
