Kuiu Island spring bear

Shipping meat and antlers from alaska
Our experience has been that caribou shed end of August, early Sept. We’ve stripped ours taken during this time because it just wasn’t attached well anymore. We got fake velvet applied on one and it looks sweet but expensive. Fairbanks fur tannery does a good job of freeze drying and shipping
