This was my 3rd fly out caribou hunt, and the first in a completely new area, style, and with a different transporter.
My coworker and I have been planning this hunt for the past 4 years. We had our drop and pickup planned with a pilot who unfortunately died in a mid air accident early last...
Hi Greg, I'm John aka Merc. Like the weight that came in at. For the record I have the lightweight Leopold just haven't had the chance to mount it yet so no scope advice.

Did mine last season in 2 trips. First load was day gear a front quarter, inner and outer tenders. Second load was everything else (minus the cape as I was only euro'ing).
So with 3 guys y'all will be easy to get 1 out in a single trip. Put 2 on the ground and it'll be heavy but doable in one...
If y'all are driving up, why not pack a few coolers full of ice and dry ice?
Beyond that I'm no help as I haven't hunted the haul road and down south, hunt was over when it was to hot after a kill.

All,
I've been looking around and trying to find transporters without much luck, that fly into GMU 25. Have myself and a partner looking to do a float hunt in 2020 if we can get booked up.
I have emails and calls out to a couple of guys but I'm deployed and haven't heard back from them. I'd...
I've never hunted it, but its on my apply list every year.
Have an uncle that did the king ranch years ago and one tactic is to find a fence they've been crossing under and plug all the holes except one you can sit a ground blind on and wait.
Goodluck to y'all that got drawn.

I'm bringing this back up because I've got an antelope in a cooler I just got back to Texas I'm trying to decide what to do with.
Anybody have thoughts about trying this on an antelope quarter?

Soggy Bottom Boys, yeah just missed you by a couple days. We're y'all up in 26A? They ended up putting me in 23, just across the border (according to onX).

Stayed put for a minute and didn't hear anything else so figured he was solid or missed and they were gone. I got back on foot and made it maybe 50yrds when he shot again and I heard the meat smack, knew he had a good hit then. A few seconds later had a small/med bull and cow run not 30yrds from...
and started back around towards my pack came around a corner and looked ahead and down a little and thought to myself 'damn that looks like 3 nice caribou' 'shit, that IS 3 nice caribou' dropped to a knee, and high crawled to a little high point as I pulled my range finder and hit them at...
This maybe a 3 parter followed by pictures....
So, I had originally planned this hunt with one of my coworkers and was going to follow it up with a moose hunt. Things changed and our R&R's didn't line up and I'm not exactly the smartest out there and not afraid of a challenge so I called the...
Fell behind on this as I got back from work a week before I headed out. I posted a recap on another forum I'm going to copy paste over here.
BLUF; successful but had to work for it. Transporter stacked us in like sardines.

Michael,
I always take advice and a few of those I hadn't thought about and will be adding. Especially the Gatorade bottle, hadn't thought about that.
I'll post here my menu as I finalize out the last of it and get everything laid out.
Thanks again,
John
