For the second year in a row, Darron and five of his buddies flew to Adak Island for their annual caribou hunt. D, Craig Wilson, Cody Carpenter, Ron Bailey, Anthony Brooks, and Ian Turner set out for 7 days of "man-time" in the mountains of Adak.
After not having any luck with caribou the first few days, the guys decided to go "hunting" for ptarmigan. They bacon wrapped the ptarmigan meat and broiled it in the oven. According to the guys it was good, but I'm thinking they were just wanting to kill and eat!
At one time, Adak Island was an old military base. The guys always find some pretty cool artifacts left behind when the island was basically deserted.
Darron was blessed with a beautiful caribou this trip! He had to take the shoot from 400 yards away and took it down on the first shot! Impressive!
The guys came home with four caribou total. They could have had more, but the "bou" were still way up in the mountains and they just didn't have enough time to keep hiking, shooting, cleaning, and packing out.
Thanks to a wonderful client who let D borrow his professional grade meat grinder, Darron processed his own caribou this year. Our freezer is abundant with roast, ground meat, and sausage! Love the hunter in my man!
