Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Caribou Hunting advice.

The pics posted by oldslowdog is from a Jack Hume Hunt. Many of the small antlers you are seeing may be cows. All six hunters in the group I was in in '07 took two animals all were very decent. I shot one with a spread of over 50 inches inside. The only hunter who didn't shoot what I'd consider a representative or better bull was a 74 year old gentleman that shot the first 2 animals he saw which were antlered cows. Also check Jack Humes web sight for pictures. It probably sounds like I work for them but I was really impressed with the hunt they delivered. You deal directly with the owner Richard, Jack's son, he even delivered supplies himself and a special request item while we were in the field. We were on the least expensive hunt package by the way.

Take both your rifles. 40+ years in Alaska, often hunting caribou, has taught me a CF is for killing, a ML is for fun. (I've killed a grouse with my MLs- but dang, those things are fun to hunt with! Mostly, I like to eat meat!)

I think you are allowed two caribou over there.

What could be better?
