TRIP TAKEN: Caribou Drop Hunt
August 02, 2024
Our transporter was great!
Gary worked his butt off for us in a tough situation. We had 2.5 days waiting to get into the field and an extra day in the field. That happens, its Alaska, BUT now that I have done it, I feel we were lucky. Flying 192 miles north over two mountain ranges is tough. Also, the flight is so far that you have to take 180’s or 185’s so you need 600-700 ft. runway, just doesn’t seen sustainable.
We saw very few caribou but had a great trip.
THE FOOD!!! Everything that we had that wasn’t mountain house was expired. Peanut butter and Jelly was old, hot chocolate was a brick, top roman was expired. We paid quite a bit for expired food.
At the end of the day, great experience, but I wouldn’t go back to that area. I believe that we were the lucky ones to get in and out. I would use this transporter somewhere else for sure, but i will inspect the food this time.
