That time of year, got these two in the high country. Sorry that there are not more pictures. Days are short, so time afield goes quick, wanted to be out of the mountains before dark so pictures were on hold. Small bull and a cow, this will fill the the rest of the freezer for the winter ahead.

I cant get over how big the country looks there with that landscape. It's just amazing. :wink:
Nice sleigh of meat ya got there too. I'm fascinated with your way of life up there. :congrats:
John, how do you like the caribou venison compared to the other families of venison? I was able to take a couple caribou up in Quebec a few years ago, and the caribou definitely had a different flavor to it.
Beautiful pics. I always look forward to the pics in your posts.
Brian
Brian, I prefer moose over caribou but you are right it has a different flavor. My wife however loves caribou especially burgers soup and tacos and is always excited when I bring them home. Thanks for all the comments guys, I always feel blessed when I am running around the outdoors here and am glad I can share it.

Thanks John for sharing your hunts and activities with us. We get to experience a beautifiul part of the world that most of us will never have the chance to see in person. I thoroughly enjoy every picture and story. Congrats on a successful hunt. :highclap:

Did ya make it down in that valley?
Or are these from that area?
Oh boy!! Looks like a fine time. Gotta hunt quick with the few hours of daylight you have...yes?
That country is beautiful!!!
Congratulations my friend. :yoyo: :congrats:
Beautiful country and congratulations on the kill. Is two the limit?
Great pictures, John. :congrats: I've never ate caribou or moose. Now I gotta try it.
How many hours of daylight do you get this time of year?
Been having computer problems, so I missed this one. Way to go John! Looks like you should be set for the Winter.
Dave

Just kiddin' ya, Jerry. :eyebrownod: I think I heard that its about 4 hours this time of year but I don't know for sure. :shrug:
John told me the other night that it was something like 9:30 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m.........I think that's what he said. :confused:
I do know he said the days are still getting shorter and they are losing about 8 minutes each day. Talk about trying to get use to your days and nights there. :whew:
It would still be cool though. :eyebrownod:
Sorry for the late response guys, today sunrise here was at 10:34 and the sunset at 2:48 so figure about 4 hours of sunlight and remember the sun is on the horizon not overhead and about an hour of gray light on each end. Bops is right we will lose about 7-8 minutes of sunlight a day until the solstice. At that tme we will start gaining daylight until the sun barely sets in June during the summer solstice. If you hunt in the winter time is your enemy.

JohnP, depending on what Game Management Area you choose to hunt you are allowed up to 5 caribou, 3 black bears, 1 moose, 1 grizzly, 1 Dall sheep and assorted other small game, lynx, wolves, coyotes etc. per year. There are also registration hunts, and lotteries you can apply every year as determined by F&G
John,
I may send my wife up there for the winter. She wants to go to sleep as soon as it gets dark and doesn't want to get up till after the sun has been up for at least an hour. She won't need much room, just a small bed and you will hardly know that she is there. :iroll:

:roflmao: :roflmao:@hawks feather
I like that "white stuff" all over the ground! Looks like you're well on your way to stocking up your lader for the winter.
