Michael Paladino: Alaska DIY Caribou Hunt Report

HUNT: Alaska DIY Caribou Hunt
CONSULTANT: Kyle Hanson | Outdoors International

August, 2020

The transporters were great. With this year being a crazy year I anticipated some unknowns and maybe some in organization. They were very good and kept us in the loop at all times with flights and plans. I was happy to have to say they were as organized as you could be with the curve ball that caribou hunting in Alaska threw at us.

We brought our own food and gear so I can’t speak on that aspect of the hunt. Planes and crew were all I anticipated and our pilot was on the caribou for all groups we saw. I would have to say they were almost 100% through our group.

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!
