David Affleck: Alaska Unguided Caribou Hunt Report

Unguided Caribou Drop Hunt
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. Saw no caribou whatsoever for nine days. Ran out of food and propane and had to get a flyover care package drop.

We named the area we were hunting the Kara-bou-lass National Park, but then it all turned around, and we shot two nice bulls. Tagged out on the night of the 10th, three days after our scheduled extraction. They were likely resident bulls we just had not been able to get to because we were unable to cross any rivers due to flooding for 8-9 days. We were thankful for the fresh caribou meat. What was left after the grizzlies got into it.

Now I see why the transporters tagline is “Are You Tough Enough?”

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!
