    Possible Solo North Slope Hunt

    Went solo last year, partner had emergency so could not go. Draw backs are it takes longer to get things done, clearing site, pitching tent, cooking and such. When you are successful harvesting, packing back to camp then to pickup site is a true chore. Positives are you only cook for you, you...

    Caribou.... with a bow?

    Last year I went alone with my rifle, scored and enjoyed the doing by myself. This year a grandson and friend are going up. I am only taking my bow. Like the prior post, I think if I take a rifle, likely it would get used. Good luck and enjoy. \

    Will do a fly-in drop hunt. My typical hunting partners will mostly recovered, but likely not ready for such a physical hunt. Being fairly new to the area I moved to I know few people. And I would hate to get dropped off with someone who did not work out. I have very good clothing, Cabela's...

    My hunting partners decided to let a heavy truck run over their pickup. Both hurt bad enough neither will be going in 2020 with me. I am looking for advice and warnings of hunting alone in Southern Brook range. Likely go with rifle instead of planned bow due to bears. Thanks

    Alaska caribou for me and the wife

    I did not know of Arrowhead at all. Will look into them tonight. We have good cots and pads. I just worry a little if our rain gear will be good enough. Thank you very much for the information.
