A young bucks amazing northern adventure for carabou

[Walkingwithbous]

Well here goes my first post to hbc, I have sweeped the site the past year and my interest in the north grew and grew,the more I read of sheep and carabou. I'm 20 years old and being laid off from a drilling rig I took advantage of the opportunity to drive to the border of the Yukon by myself and begin my 5 week solo hunting journey.. If you mountain hunters care to hear the story of a virgin northern hunter breaking the seal here we go. (PS how do you share pictures on here)

Well to start off a little history about myself, I grew up hunting whitetail with my old man and that was about it. Mountain hunting was all but TV shows and stories too me. That is until I got a job as a green hunting guide in the kootnays, where I fell in love with mountain goats and elk. My inner fire for mountain hunting was hot from here on out. Being a guide I spent top dollar on equipment, full sitka line up, Zeiss lazer range finding binos, mystery ranch pack and the rest.

Looking foward. Uploading pics to Photobucket.com is the easiest and then copy the IMG code and paste into the text box where you are typing.

Alright I'll be doing so shortly then!

I had zero knowledge of the north about 3 weeks before my adventure initially began..so I visited a guiding buddy in the koots and his dad gave me coordinates to a trail.... Next was study every single sheep and carabou thread I could find. I guided mountain goats and do not find them particularly difficult to chase, the others I had never seen before..

I brought enough food with me to stay 20 days in the back country

So when I left my house my pack weighed in at 80 pounds without water.. With no training and a spontaneous GOS season ahead of me, my 150pound body was in for a real treat this season...
