I was putting the sneak on a bull moose one September an had stopped behind a large spruce to listen. I noticed movement on my left and looked to find a cow & calf caribou standing within inches of me looking in the same direction I was. I didn't want to spook her so I just stood still and they moved off together. I eventually found the bull I was looking for. Sometimes they are easy to get close and surprisingly calm about it. I gotta hear the story behind that broncobuster.

Sad ending! https://fm.kuac.org/aviation/2023-0...t-was-transporting-hunter-to-remote-site Last edited by martentrapper; 09/04/23 02:51 PM.

My guess is the pilot got forced lower and lower as the ceiling went down and/or the ground got higher. Found himself trapped in a situation where he couldn't turn around. The result was inevitable.

Like firearms, however, it's not the planes that cause death, it's the operators.
