Nice looking caribou, they sure are beautiful animals. How did the meat end up tasting? Should still have been early enough in the season.

He's a region 6 bull.

The meat was perfect. While packing him out I saw a group of 4 bulls hot on the trail of a couple of cows. The bulls were starting to spar a little bit, so I think the rut was starting to ramp up. If I had waited one more week I think I would have been taking a big risk as far as quality of meat goes.

Sounds good, some of the best meat I ever had was from my late August bull, can't tell you how good it was. Need to do that again soon.

Beauty Caribou!. As gerrygoat says, they are great eating before the rut. Congrats.:-D

I was thinking about getting a shoulder mount but I was running out of time out there and I wanted to make sure I took care of the meat first. End result is that I'm just going with a euro mount.

nice caribou, and double shovels too!!
did you keep the hide? it always seemed such a shame to leave such a nice hide behind, I'm tanning the hide of the one I got on Sept.12th.

[ElectricDyck]

Nice bull, score 1 for perseverance! How much do you think the meat weighs on a caribou that size?

[KB90]

Congratulations on the bull, I enjoyed the read!

Nope, I felt rushed being way back in the bush all by myself. I was working on getting the cape off for a shoulder mount, but it was taking too long so I decided to just got with a euro mount, which is what I had planned pre-hunt.

That's a tough question to answer, some of the other more experienced hunters can probably give you a better idea, but I'd say there was maybe around 150ish pounds de-boned.

There are two types of caribou meat, good and bad. Nice to know there are still people out there that are after good eating meat. Its a beautiful looking bull. Be proud of what you have done.

If the hunting lifestyle is to survive it has to be about the meat.
