Haul Road

[Ahaskins]

Has anybody been up on the Haul Road yet this year 2022? I am headed up on August 27th for a week, just checking to see if people are seeing any caribou.

I was up there last week. Fewer caribou than 2021; most seemed to be right where they were doing road construction (a little ways north of Galbraith Lake and occupying about 20 miles of road). We spent most of our time just South of Deadhorse. There were caribou up there, but it was hard to find a bull and harder to find a bull someone else wasn't already on. Piles of musk ox and saw 5 griz (sow and two cubs 10 mi south of Deadhorse, young sow a mile or two north of Happy Valley, and a big bruin south of the arctic circle). Good luck!

My husband is getting ready to leave on the 30th. This is the first time up there. How are the herds and any advice you can give him? Going with a bow

 

[Ahaskins]

Last year herds were spread out but mostly between Deadhorse and happy valley. We did get one after 3 days.

I’m a new member. I’m not able to PM until I have 10 posts, I believe as a safeguard against spam. Could you message me? My wife and I are headed up 8/29.

I'd love to hear about your trip. We're heading up 8/29.

I did get fortunate enough to harvest a bull! I'll get some pics on here when I download them from my SD card. Didn't see many animals. Most were around Toolik lake when we passed through

Great thanks for the info

From what we heard the herd moved through about 20 miles south of Deadhorse a week or two before we got up there so we were just chasing stragglers
