First Caribou
I managed to connect with this guy a few weeks ago in the Brooks Range. It made for some great camp meat....I was getting tired of eating sheep!

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

Nice bull and you got in on some of the last nice weather as winter is coming fast. Where at in the Brooks? I used to live just below the Brooks on the Yukon River & Porcupine River.

Tired of sheep you say? Let's see it!

Congratulations. That looks like a very good bull. Long shot - it looks fairly open ?

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Thanks for all the comments, I am very happy with the bull. The Clients also took very nice bulls along with their sheep and Bears. I shot my bull with a 338-06 custom rifle. Range was between 300 and 400 yards. I was hoping for a closer shot as the bull fed toward me but due to a poor wind, he knew something was not right and started to leave the area. Sooo it was take a long shot or wave good-by.
