Thank you so much for keeping your video family friendly, for not using foul language, for being upbeat and grateful while still being realistic. It’s hard sometimes in today’s world to find programs whose content can be comfortably aired by all audiences, but this one fits that bill, entertaining and educational without unnecessary offensive language. I thank you, you can be certain we will be watching more of you videos in our home.
Gentlemen..Congratulations! Way to Earn it. Those are World Class trophies and Memories the way you earned them. My wife, my buddy, and I will be up in Aug trying to accomplish the same thing. Congrats
Great video! I've hunted along that road and made the 5 mile hike loaded down with the pack full. When ever I see a video from up there, it brings back memories of how hard the pack out is.
@@chasethehunt2187 it was a great hunt that we did 20 years ago. We started out bowhunting. Two of us still hadn't filled our tags with one day left to hunt, so we hiked the 5 miles off the road to rifle hunt. We ended up killing two bulls on that last day. Between 3 off us, we were able to get both bulls out in one trip. But it was a miserable pack out across that soft tundra.
That’s awesome! We’re you there later in the year when they were migrating? Back in the day non residents could hunt later into the year than we can now. The first time I went up there later in the year I couldn’t believe how many animals there were compared to this time!
@@chasethehunt2187 we were there in the beginning of September. We saw a lot of stalked a lot of Bull near the road and and 2 out of the 4 out filled tags with bows. I had always planned on going again, but never made it back.
You guys worked hard, got decent caribou.great trip and better than expected video. I, have seen some guys drag a large plastic sled out there, it seems to work a bit better than toting that weight thru the muskeg.
We have hauled sleds when we hunted in the snow up there. It worked ok but with no snow I believe it is easier to haul them in a pack as long as it is a good pack but I have seen plenty of people go the sled route with no snow. To each their own no I guess. Glad the video was better than expected!
Congratulations on you guys successful Hunt ! Great Memories ! Very well documented that is awesome . What boots are you guys wearing ? Do you recommend any specific boots and or clothing items ? Keep on keeping on ! Stay Safe !
One guy had Altra's, it's basically a running shoe/lightweight boot. The other guy had Crispi Laponia's. For gear, we mainly used Prym1 camo and Shiver shield. Hope this Help's
i never hunt trophies just for the meat , but if people do respect ---- wow just looked and yes 5 miles away from dalton hwy thats crazy here in michigan you can hunt right on the line along hwys lots more traffic here
Yes, it's pretty unique the way they do that up there but at the same time it's nice because it keeps a lot of people near the road with archery equipment so when you do get out there you don't really see anyone else!
@@weekender38 our buddy with the bow couldn’t get within 90 yards. We had it at 60 yards but didn’t have the bow and we were obviously within 5 miles of the pipeline so we couldn’t shoot with a rifle. Ya, but that’s some of the funnest parts. It always adds to the experience when you have to work your butt off! Thanks!
We were there in September. To get one with no velvet I would suggest as late in the season as possible. The first bull I shot was in October and it still had velvet so if you go in September there will still be bulls in velvet. But the non resident season doesn’t go into October anymore so ur stuck with September now
Thanks Levi, we were hunting the last week it was open to non residents. It closes Sept 15th. As far as how far north, they could be anywhere so just drive until you start seeing them!
Make sure you have gps, location device and hunt with more than one buddy because if anything happens to you in the North slope you won't get any help from North Slope authorities
Have you had an experience up there regarding this? Minus running off to track the third bull we stayed together the entire time. We also had 2 InReach's to communicate with family back home and in case of emergency.
I never saw your reply until just now I made the comment because my husband Steve Keel went missing in North Slope in Aug 2022 and the authorities have fought us every step of the way for answers Just be careful and know who you're hunting with very well

Thank you RC Winchester
The harder you work,the more you enjoy your successes.Guaranteed you will never forget this hunt.
You are absolutely right!
Gentlemen..Congratulations!
Way to Earn it.
Those are World Class trophies and Memories the way you earned them.
My wife, my buddy, and I will be up in Aug trying to accomplish the same thing.
Congrats
Thank you! It was an adventure we will never forget!
That’s exciting, what’s your plan for weapons? Have you done this hunt before?
Have any luck?
That's what it's all about. Pulling the trigger is the easy part, what's done after makes you realize how much you can physically do. Congrats guys
Thanks, it’s the hard work that really solidifies the memory!
Awesome stuff guys, keep up the great work.
Great video! I've hunted along that road and made the 5 mile hike loaded down with the pack full. When ever I see a video from up there, it brings back memories of how hard the pack out is.
We’re glad you liked it! It’s definitely an adventure that you won’t forget if you do it!
How was your trip? How long ago was it?

Thanks for sharing. Congratulations guys. Well done.
How far were these animals away from you upon shooting, and What was the caliber?
Thank you! The two taken with rifles were 300 yards out.
Rifle #1: 6.5 PRC using 147gr Hornady ELDM
Rifle #2: 300 win mag using 200gr Hornady ELD-X
How close did you get to the first big bull with the bow? You guys WORKED for those bulls. CONGRATS all around.
@@weekender38 our buddy with the bow couldn’t get within 90 yards. We had it at 60 yards but didn’t have the bow and we were obviously within 5 miles of the pipeline so we couldn’t shoot with a rifle.

Excellent work guys. What dates did you go? Hoping to get a hard horned caribou as well.
Thank you! As far as dates go we landed in AK on Sept 8 and flew home on the 16th.
Great video, what month did you guys go? I want to get one with no velvet
We were there in September. To get one with no velvet I would suggest as late in the season as possible. The first bull I shot was in October and it still had velvet so if you go in September there will still be bulls in velvet. But the non resident season doesn’t go into October anymore so ur stuck with September now
Congrats on the awesome bulls! I'm looking to hunt the haul road in 2023, what time of year was this hunt? And how far north of the pass were you?
Thanks Levi, we were hunting the last week it was open to non residents. It closes Sept 15th. As far as how far north, they could be anywhere so just drive until you start seeing them!
@@chasethehunt2187 Thats awesome I appreciate it!
@@levicoulter3030 no problem! If you have more questions shoot us a message on Instagram we would love to help!
You take your own truck or rent one?
We rented one from a place that allows you to take it up the north slope
Make sure you have gps, location device and hunt with more than one buddy because if anything happens to you in the North slope you won't get any help from North Slope authorities
