I agree gumboot. This is one that we aren't going to win, since there really isn't a winner or a loser. It was a personal judgement call. I'm just sorry that some people can take words of wisdom from very experience people and brush it off with so little thought.

People are stuborn with what they think is right, including myself here, and never like to be told they are wrong. So lets all bury the hatchet and move one to different things.

Ok-I'm coming up for a family vacation this August, at the end of it I am hooking up with a friend to do a hike in caribou hunt. Should I plan on the haul road or is there someplace else you suggest? How bad will the bugs be the last week of August?

Bad enough to keep the bears away.

If your going to do a hike in, your only option is the Haul road unless you put in for a few draw areas, like the Kenai or the Alaska Range. Bugs will be nasty, especially if you kill a caribou, the blood will bring out the no-seeums and whitesocks like you've never seen. I highly recommnend bringing a head net.

clapNow this is more like it, when hunting mosquitos I find a good .22-250 works well. Of course that doesn't disqualify a shotgun, to get several at once! animal sofa

handwerk,

If you guys are willing to do the grueling 5 mile march on the tundra at the end of August its almost a given that you will score. The bugs can be really bad or not too bad just depends on weather and stuff. And the bugs wont keep the bears away up there, you got a good chance of seeing one on the slope that time of year. They linger with the bou herds as well as the wolves do.
