Caribou "D" Day we are off with pics YEEEEHAW

[Nakohe]

Man this is all I can think about. I have never in my 56 years of life ever been on a hunt like this. I am like a little kid counting the days to Christmas.LOL Hopefully we will see bulls like this and get chances at them.

       

[CJ Pearson]

Yes Donald, it is getting close. I'm really looking forward to it myself.

[Nakohe]

Here is another one to drool over.LOL Can you say pic a spot.
 

Theese are pics of the Leaf River herd. The ones we will be going for.

Man nakohe,I don't need any help here.I'm already worthless at work and feel like I'm behind getting ready.  

[Ray Hammond]

Not picking on you, Nakohe..don't think that for a minute..but I've been mulling over that old catch phrase for a few months..and in my opinion it needs tweeking.

There's LOTS of spots you could pick- I hereby officially request we change that to " PICK THE SPOT". There is one PERFECT spot on every critter..dead center double lung..that's what we should say from now on, in my opinion!

[rawshaft]

Good luck...Wish I was heading that way myself....

[Nakohe]

Ray, I agree, PICK THE SPOT is more appropriate. Behind shoulder towards off leg quartering away. Am I right?

I hope we all get a chance to "PICK THE PERFECT SPOT". Man Nakohe you are getting excited!!!  I like this more and more.

[Ray Hammond]

actually, its straight up the leg where it enters the body...the bone angles forward as it reaches the bottom of the brisket, headed essentially in line with the top line of the neck, goes about half way to the neck, then angles back up to form the platelike bone of the shoulder blade..so the sweet spot is straight up the leg, and dividing the body into thirds with two lines - its between the two lines...that's the sweet spot.

I will try to find the skeleto-muscular diagram I have somewhere that illustrates this for us and will forward to you.

[Nakohe]

CJ,  I am pumped. Ordered some Simmons Tree Sharks to put on some of the arrows I am taking. Those things look like they will just blow an animal up. Ok Donny, settle down and get back to work.      

[Ray Hammond]

here it is...Nakohe...its a whitetail of course, but skeletally speaking, they run about the same..

 

this is from the National Bowhunter Education booklet - they have bear, elk, deer, and turkey I believe

[SKYLER W]

Good luck guys.     I wish I could go.

[Nakohe]

Thanks a lot Ray, I really appreciate the info.

[R H Clark]

Good hunting to you all.Take plenty of pictures and tell the full story when you get back.I'll be looking forward to hearing all about it.

[Nakohe]

Is anyone else as excited as me or am I being a bit over the top?? I still can not believe that I am able to do this. The Lord has truly blessed me. I will shut up now. LOL

[adkmountainken]

please take a lot of pic's for us. i have never been on a hunt more then 1 hour away from my house so please take me with you by using the camera and don't leave out any details of the weather, critters, landscape and anything that might put a picture in our heads! good luck!!!

[Fletcher]

Nakohe, you guys are gonna have a great time.       Practice your walking shots as caribou seldom stop moving and have some narrow broadheads made up for the windy days.  Enjoy!

[The Vanilla Gorilla]

I'm like adk..I ain't hunted much outside the hogbacks and hollows in my county, so I think I'd be just as pumped up as you for going from here to the North to hunt caribou! I'd be jumping out of my shorts waiting for the days to pass!  Maybe one day when I finish school and I'm making Bill Cosby Billions, I can start taking trips that I've waited years to take!

[tippit]

Ray,  Kinda like that spot on my bear    Sorry to be missing this hunt.  You guys are going to have a ball...Doc

[adkmountainken]

wish i could go!!
