Came Back With a Bang (big game pics)

I just came back up to the 907 after graduation. I didn't get to do much big game hunting the past 5 years, so my parents gave me the best graddy present a hunter could ever ask for. Dad and I took off to the Brooks Range after sheep on Sept 3rd. After hiking 70 miles and not seeing a legal ram, one shot took this guy down at 5 pm on the last day of the hunt





We did see some pretty cool things up there. This guy was at 15 yards, and not too happy to see us



If any of you know the area that we at, can you PM me with any info on this?



We ended up getting snowed on the last night, and the pilot had to fight a thick fog bank in to pick us up on time. Luckily he was good at what he did and got us out of there, because we had to head to Kotzebue for moose and caribou

 

We flew into Kotz on the 12th, and were able to get out into the field that same day. We spent the next day chasing grayling and arctic char. After a good night's sleep we decided it was time to start chasing some caribou. We came across this guy while glassing from a ridge behind camp and were able to get ahead of him





We spiked out the next day for moose. Dad was able to call one right onto the airstrip the evening after we flew out. His taped out around 59" with 4x3 brow palms. We were weathered in at spike camp until the day before the season ended. While flying back to base, we saw a nice bull and decided to chase him in the morning rather than spiking out elsewhere. We awoke to more fog and rain, but it was the last day of the season and nothing was keeping us from that moose. After glassing and calling until 3:30, we went back to base for lunch. On our way back for one last push, the bull ran by us, chasing a cow off. We were able to call the cow back to us, with the bull following her. 2 shots with the moose on the run and we had a couple full freezers for the winter





He taped out at 65"
