    We'll be back in there August 6th-14th - if you're doing the Dalton hunt later this year, PM me and I'll be happy to give you any boots on the ground insight we have post hunt.

    Dalton/Haul Rd Caribou...affordable & easy??

    I'll be sure to have a compass, surprised to hear Onx gave a few people on here issues up there.

    Dalton/Haul Rd Caribou...affordable & easy??

    Very helpful, Toast. The fish boxes are a great call, hadn't heard of those. My original plan was walmart coolers. Our airbnb on the back end of the trip has two freezers, we'll have plenty of time to get everything solid before packing in the fish boxes.

    Dalton/Haul Rd Caribou...affordable & easy??

    Great tip on the shipping. We have a UPS account through work as well where we get 75% UPS ground shipments. Was thinking of shipping crates of antlers back if we were succesful. 3 free checked bags through Delta should be enough to get meat home.

    Dalton/Haul Rd Caribou...affordable & easy??

    Looking forward to the challenge. Pretty split advise on this thread on bringing the bow vs skipping it. Won't hurt to have in the truck incase we stumble into some dumb luck and can put a stalk on by the road (along with the 12 other trucks that will pull over to do the same).

    Dalton/Haul Rd Caribou...affordable & easy??

    I'm 95% sure we are locked in for a rental vehicle (that is legal to drive the dalton with) at that price. On the off 5% chance, we'll just buy a truck off marketplace and sell it for a $1000 loss when we get back to town. The bows will be packed. Would be awesome to get an opportunity at one...

    Dalton/Haul Rd Caribou...affordable & easy??

    That's fair, $250/guy for gas, $200 for airport and travel day meals. I still have a hard time believing this will be over $3000 all-in. Unless we are dealing with meat transport and taxidermy, I know that adds up. I'm fine spending some more $$ once there are caribou on the ground.

    Dalton/Haul Rd Caribou...affordable & easy??

    I’ve been reading all the Alaska caribou threads, and it seems like every discussion about hunting caribou from the Lower 48 involves spending a small fortune to chase hurting populations. Between flights, transporters, hotels, and everything else, it sounds like a lot of guys are spending...

    First pair of binoculars recommendation?

    I'm going to get shredded for this. I spend 40+ days in the field / year hunting across Montana with my $180 Vortex Diamondback 10x42s. I've spent hundreds of hours behind them and have turned up and killed plenty of game with them. They were my "entry level" pair about 5 years ago and I haven't...

    Pronghorn

    Don't bother chasing them on the weekends (unless its the first 15 minutes of opening day). We've been out east the last 4 years chasing them and even when we're 2 hours from the nearest town/gas station, there are still 2 trucks parked and every section of BLM/State land. Bonkers. Always have...

    We are also headed up to the Dalton for August Caribou. You guys going past the rifle line or bow hunting the corridor?

    INEOS Grenadier?

    "It’s for metropolitans to look outdoorsy." Well said. I've spent a bit of time riding (on pavement) in my friend's Grenadier. Thought it rode ok on road, could see if being real rough off-road. Only 22 dealerships around the country, have to imagine service and parts are $$$$$.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Average in...average out. I usually buy a little every 10 days, regardless of if it's up, down, sideways, or spinning in circles. Worked so far.

    Suppressor Opinions

    I recently switched from a muzzle break to a suppressor on my 6.5PRC, the reduced sound is fantastic, but the muzzle lift and recoil are certainly stiffer. I can no longer watch impacts on my shots inside 400yds. I have the Banish 30v2 - has anyone tried their muzzle break that screws in on the...

    First lite gear

    Going to test out my full gamut of FL soon on a Dalton Caribou hunt. Should get some sideways rain, snow, 50mph winds, 70 degree sunshine...curious how it holds up. Most interested in how the $800 set of Omen Stormshelter rain gear does. Better be good for the price of a 2000s mortgage payment

    When did Caribou become a Premier Hunt

    Headed up for outside of the corridor Dalton Caribou in a couple months...for us lowly lower 48 residents to hunt the tundra, without a guide, over-the-counter, for under $3k is hard to beat.

    Haul Rd Hunters Turo joins Uhaul

    Nuts - I think this is for Enterprise, not the commercial use, Enterprise Trucks location that is off campus from the airport (similar to a uhaul or penske.

    Haul Rd Hunters Turo joins Uhaul

    Anyone had any luck with Enterprise Truck Rentals? Seems like they are a uhaul competitor up there - can't find anything online that says they don't allow Haul Rd trips.
