Ya, my daughter got a nice one there, early in the season we always see the double shovels but they get shot off pretty quick. She shot that bull like 5-6 times with 6.8 stag carbine, 110 barnes X bullets. He stood there taking them like a bug bite; finally went down. Funny thing is I shot several last season with same 6.8 and they went right down. I saw another double shovel last week but we already got our tags filled. I like killin them as much as the nx guy, but ain't a hog about it. We are hunting the 40 mile migration. What caribou do you guys have downriver?

We saw a nice over 60 couple days back but couldn't get a shot, heard him in the woods, couldn't call him in, man hate those sharp bulls. I was down tonight with buddy that still had a moose tag, had a nice bull with cows in sight but way off and they didn't cross at dark where I thought they would. Our subsistence season goes until the 25th in fed areas; the only thing the feds have ever done good. We have low moose numbers here at the end of the Taylor, not moosey country.

Big "E" (what I call him) works for BP up slope on here, got a couple bulls downriver. I saw him on road and we talked but not politics, just moose ha.

I have a project this winter, to build a hunting buggy down here in Wasilla. I may start with a 1992 crew cab Ford, I have tons “literally” of old Rockwells with gears around 6-39 or so, nice low gear stuff so I can use dual tractor mud tires.
As for the engine I have quite a few diesels from some older GM 4 cycles out of a 2 ton cabover to some Detroits even.

In case you havn’t been down here in the Valley its the latest craze to build the best hunting buggy all around the valley.

"What caribou do you guys have downriver?"

I don't hunt (old lady with lung problems) but I believe the herd that goes through the area is the Porcupine herd. I could be way wrong, and welcome any correction from someone who KNOWS.

I wondered why I hadn't heard anything from Big E in so long. (We call him Mo, for some completely unknown reason. LOL!) Glad he got something. Anyway, congratulations on the success.
