Arctic Air DIY Caribou Hunt Kotzebue in depth review with map
It seemed the majority of the caribou we saw were north of us 5-6 miles from our camp. With the wind blowing from the east a majority of the time maybe the scent of the line of camps between us may have prevented them from moving down the river. Most we saw were moving west. -
Arctic Air DIY Caribou Hunt Kotzebue in depth review with map
I hope this in-depth review of our trip helps someone in the future. This was kind of a messed-up deal with everything leading up to the planning and execution of the trip. GMU closures, deposits, ownership change, my suggestion is to for sure spend the money on trip insurance and I know there... -

Alaska DIY Caribou Hunt - Arctic Air
We also caught over 50 grayling in the lake we were camped on. We saw 1 grizzly a mile and a half away (exactly how I wanted to see one) and a giant bull moose walking down the creek close by. We saw the northern lights one night and just had the best trip I could have ever asked for. -

Well, just got back home yesterday. My fiancé and I were both successful and had a great experience with Arctic Air. I know some guys were not happy the week before we went in it was hot and they said they didn't see much. I can tell you the first 3-4 days we saw well over 200-300 caribou...
