Lots of clients from the lower 48 ask me about gun selection for bou and I always tell them to bring up the rifle they are most comfortable. Too many come up with cannons thinking caribou are thick bodied animals. I have taken them with .243, 270, 30.06 and .308. For just joy of hunting caribou the .243 is my favorite because it can really reach out there and bring them down at long distances and very little wasted meat. 1 shot and 1 kill.

Good job Mart. With a smallish cow it's makes the packing not quite as much of a chore. But the eating should really be good. Glad to hear the report on the 400 as well. Congrats.

Congrats on a successful hunt. My brother is flying to Fairbanks this evening on a Caribou hunt in unit 26A North slope. Hopefully he and his buddies will fill their tags also.

They are flying in. Not in shape enough for the death march. He's hoping for a kill within 50yds from camp. LOL
