This was a hunt that was a couple years in planning. My buddy and I been wanting to Hunt the 40 mile herd in the Yukon Charley River preserve, we had both hunted Caribou several times before and for us it was important for this hunt to take place in that location. We try several times to secure a spot with our preferred transporter( I am sure you all can guess who) to fly us into the area however we could not get it booked. We ended up going with the only other option which happened to be excellent albeit very expensive.
Fast forward to 2020 and Covid was reading havoc on our plans, with that said we jumped through the hoops and made it happen. We had and wonderful time and the hunt was everything we wanted and more.

I killed my bull at 61 yards after getting pinned down when the group of bulls I stalked decided to bed down for two hours. The rest of the trip I played spotter for Russel and was happy to see him kill a great bull. I had blast hunting with him, and we planned another hunt together already. I am already looking for repeat as I want to get back in and do this hunt again.
I will forgo the long story this time and post some pictures of the hunt.

Great job getting it done with bows guys! I hunted the Yukon Charley area with an old high school baseball teammate last Fall, had a blast and got 2 nice caribou also, but we did with rifles. Beautiful country, great bulls, great photos, and memories to last a lifetime! Way to persevere when COVID was trying to wreak havoc with your plans.
 
Congrats, with bows none the less!
Great pics of great country!
This is pretty high up on my list!
 
Very nice. I'm working on something like this for my son and I in the next 2 or 3 years.

Very impressive bulls and very neat country.

Thanks for sharing.
