HUNT: Unguided Caribou Drop Hunt
CONSULTANT: Kyle Hanson | Outdoors International
August 25 through September 7, 2021
Wow was this the most epic thing I have ever done, and it’s not even close.
Stranded in the Brooks range for five extra days due to weather. No caribou whatsoever for nine days. Ran out of food and propane. Tagged out on the night of the 10th, three days after our scheduled extraction. Would not have had much food without the caribou. What was left after the grizzlies. No caribou migration had occurred as far as we could tell. We named the area we were hunting the kara-bou-lass national park.
We shot two nice bulls.
We shot the only two bulls we saw in 12 days and they were likely resident guys we just had not been able to get to because we were unable to cross any rivers due to flooding for 8-9 days
- How would you rate your trip overall? Overall, my trip was a great experience. The outfitter does absolutely the best they can do with the circumstances. Honestly I am glad I tagged out because I would never do it again. Being trapped without any possible way out is a horrible feeling. This is super super extreme x 10^6 power.

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.Oliver Fischer
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!Scott Navares
