Float Hunt

[M.T. Pockets]

I did a lot of reading, calling and emailing for a couple years before booking an air service. I hunted the Mulchatna herd in 2002 and from what I've heard hunting was a lot better in earlier years and has gotten worse. The air service we used no longer takes caribou hunters since their numbers are down, they used to brag of 100% success for several years.

We also saw 4 or 5 other hunting parties on the ground placed when we were there from other outfitters.

I did get a bull, nothing great, but the only one I saw in 5 days. I was after a wolf for a while, and we saw an absolutely huge grizzly bear.

I'll go back to Alaska, but not to the same area unless something drastic changes.
