Caribou on North Slope of Alaska

Recommended Posts

Getting ready to put deposit on a DIY caribou hunt on north slope of Brooks Range. Will be about 5 of us. They drop us off with wall tents, food for a week, and two tags. Has anyone hunted for caribou up in that area?

I have never done it, but that sounds like the exact type of hunt I would like to do. Who did you book thru and, if you do not mind, how much are you paying?

This is a resident herd of 40k apparently...due to the fact they only allow 12 hunters per year, it is out a couple of years, we are hoping for 2015. It is actually through Cabela's as I have a friend who is a Cabela's certified outfitter as well. It is 4k for the week. (123456) If you are interested, I'll keep u in the loop as my buddy can get group discounts through Cabela's. We have been wavering between this and a moose hunt but think DIY will be a lot more fun and rewarding and have a few ready to pull the trigger. FYI we will all be bowhunting....
