SUMMARY
REMARKS |
 |
| Problems
of Hunt: |
Just a bad year for caribou. Jake and Ron did everything humanly possible to remedy the situation, but if the caribou aren't there, they aren't there. |
| Highlights
of Hunt: |
Shooting napping grizzly at 170 yards. Watching two bull moose square off from 100 yards. Great times in the lodge in the evening with really good guys. |
| Equipment
Recommendations: |
Hip boots and waterproof knee high boots. Good hiking boots if you're doing a sheep hunt. Stout compact pack frame for packing meat and trophy. |
| Would You
Recommend This Hunt to a Friend? |
yes |
| Why? |
Considering that it is 200 miles north of the arctic circle and accessibility only by bush plane. Jake has built a phenominal lodge. I am convinced that this year was an abetation. Game is usually abundant. Lots of return hunters. |

Condition Comments: |
Excellent area for grizzly and caribou. Large numbers of Dall sheep, but now closed to non-natives. Chance for wolf and wolverine. Moose in decline due to calf mortality from wolves, bears. There were few caribou in the early part of the hunt. Then there were over 1,500 the last three days of the hunt. |
