Lee and Nicki Perrin: Alaska Unguided Caribou Hunt Report

HUNT: Alaska Unguided Caribou Hunt
CONSULTANT: Russ Meyer | Outdoors International

September, 2017

My wife got her caribou on the 3rd day of the hunt, the next day when we came to pack it out there was a grizzly on it, after scaring it away and packing it back to camp the bears came in and ate all of it. We were plagued by bears in camp almost every night-but were able to scare them off. We didn’t see many caribou, some cows and calves any only the one herd of bulls that my wife got hers from. We talked to the people that were in that camp before us and they didn’t have any bear problems that they spoke of, and they had got a caribou too.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
