DC827 Honey Holes

[Deleted member 28227]

Looks like at least three folks from this forum had the tag and then ghosted

Anyone willing to PM me info, my buddy, a resident, drew this tag and I’m trying to help him out.

Beginner hunter, expert backcountriest. He’s willing to spend the money and time to get a good one.

Please and thank you.

Drew the tag once 3 years ago. Wish I would've hired a guide but ended up make it a DIY. Caribou move so much you need either horses or luck to get a good one.

Did you hike in?

No we flew in and landed on a gravel bar by a glacier, then hiked from that area. There were 2 of us and we both tagged out but they were small bulls

I'd suggest using Coke Wallace with midnight sun safaris if he has any openings

After spending an hour of time at work studying maps and doing google searches of an area that I will probably never hunt (but it was more funner than work) I have come to the conclusion that most people are flying in, but if you have access to a wheeler Healy Creek might be worth looking into. Others said Yannert creek was good, especially around Dick Creek.

My son drew this tag. Heading up there this Fall. Thinking it might be a good idea to get a moose tag as well. Anybody do a combination hunt with success? Are you flying, walking, or ATVing?

Lol every time I research one of these hunts I'm always like... why are people talking about the gun they need for AK and not the drysuit they need for AK.

I'm no help on the drysuit, but good luck with your hunt planning. I have been in that area around Healy and saw caribou. It can be some rough terrain.

I drew the tag in 2019. I gave a bit of an update on a 2020 DC827 thread. (does that count as a ?).

I could share some general direction, but perhaps not honey holes...I drew the tag again this year!
Yes, it can get a bit uncomfortable with a lucky horseshoe up your bum, but I have noticed that the pain of hunting caribou in sheep country make you forget about that particular "uncomfort."

I also drew any bull moose for an overlapping area/season, but based on my 2019 trip, I'm not going to try to combo this year.
I'll probably hunt 'bou early in season, mid-August, and moose late season, mid/late-September. Fly-ins.
