Porcupine caribou really crossed the The Dalton. They are right off there map. There is a forks in the highway there? Any villages west of where they are?

I thought some caribou might come towards Aklavik but sounds like the ones in Yukon are heading back to Alaska. I better get out and get a moose or some dall sheep I suppose. Might even have to get a muskox if it comes to that. Any good sheep or muskox recepies on T-Man. Going to cook moose sweat and sour stir fry for supper tonight.

Anything fried with onions and garlic salt is good.

I was hoping caribou would come back soon but if not then my house might be Santa’s reindeers last stop. I figure ill let Rudolph pass then shoot the rest.

yeah that dump bear on my trail camera is starting to look fat and juicy.

Just got back from a trip to Coldfoot. Only a few tracks east of Prospect Creek, no herds seen. I think the bulk of that mass of Porcupine herd that made it down into that general area have moved northeastward, but I can't say for sure. Talked to a DOT guy from Chandalar Shelf Camp today as well, and he said they aren't seeing many around Antigun Pass anymore.

Thanks 30-06 them Caribou were way down there for a while. Good they moved north but still along ways from my area.

Next village west of the Dalton is Nuiqsit. Long way to there tho.

Isn’t the border still closed? Lol

Illegal aliens them caribou are. No LaMigra in the British Mountains

Caribou still hanging around the Dalton. https://pcmb.ca/satellite-collars/ anybody seeing them. Any hunting going on. How's the snow condition? Hoping that atmospheric river that dumped all that rain on BC goes through and dumps snow so they move east. Some moving through Ivvavik hope they keep comming.

If you know where they are why dont you go kill them there

muskrat411.... are these what you are looking for?



Those are from a few years ago, quite a few years ago...

Ian will be licking his lips when he sees those pics howler,lol.

That's a great idea Boco but look at the map. See what a huge area that is. You could easily fit Southern Ontario or New York in there. Plus there is an international border. And a continental decide. If those Caribou that are in Ivvavik National Park move down to the Ocean people will probably travel to hunt. Not sure if the Beaufort Sea is frozen yet or not thought it's been windy.

Looks delicious. What month was that September?

I saw several small herds(approx 10-20 each) 43-38 miles southeast of Coldfoot on 11/14. I didn't notice any calves, so I'll guess they were mostly bulls. They appeared to be moving northeast. Perhaps stragglers from the numerous herds that were in the area late October.

Thanks 30-06 good to hear what the bulls are doing. We had almost straight cows and calves last winter. The bulls were further south. Where the highways split at the bottom of the map is that the Top of the World Highway? Going to Chicken and 🦅. I been as far as 🐔 but turned back to Dawson from there. Seen a couple bunches of 40 Mile Caribou along the highway.

We would’ve been looking for those until about the first couple days of October depending on weather. Once the rut hits they’re pretty much inedible.

We learned that hunting the rut the hard way one year when we got into 7000 animals during the full rut. We shot six bulls that were not edible, not even sausage spice could cover it up but boy was it fun.





If I had to do it again, I'd just take pics and video. What a great time though.

Fall bull caribou are strikingly beautiful. The first spring caribou I shot looked terrible, it's hair was bleached and falling out in clumps. I could have shot several, but while skinning it I decided one was enough. After cutting up and cooking it, I realized it tasted much better than it looked. Definitely lean, but tender with no rutty funk.
