Hunting the Ivishak River 1998


My first Caribou.   A very nice bull taken with a lucky shot at 400 yards.   The animal has a beautiful double shovel.   I am having this specimen mounted. Ben with Caribou

Ben with Caribou A biologist told me that the antlers on a Caribou of this size will grow as much as 3 inches a day during the summer.   This animal had just about peaked and would have begun shedding velvet in a matter of days.
