The internet in my village is back up and working ....
So heres a few pix from a few days gone past......
Our Fall hunt is a month, a full month late. Its the 14th of October and were not setting ice nets by Oct 5 anymore...it hasnt frozen or snowed even once yet..........but yet we still have to hunt.
Caribou move and rut when its cold, and that ''used to be, in the way back...' by mid September, and our rivers freeze would be about Oct 1st, but the Caribou inthe heat, much like last year are still scattered in the mountains to our north and not yet ''bunched up'' as the do when they migrate enmass....so were getting a few here and theres and that the way it is......
The lead Cows and calfs of the herd are finally here, and to avoid pukable rut tainted meats, were working on young bulls, who havent reached maturity, but are big and healthy, just not exceedingly fat, as we preferr....
The kids with a fire powerd electric charger and playing music on that damn'd phone.... LOL.
The daughters Tinmiaq and Carol followed me and the neighbor kid 'Spud'
No less than 4 Bears walked that beach and left not only those tracks, but a huge Cranberry pepperd pile of reply to my piss fence. Nope, they did not cross, they turned around and left.
And we scored...one here, two there, 7 in one go.....in the end we divvied up with Spud, gave a few away to the wifes sisters and called it good with a few butchered, a couple dried and bagged and 10 outside in the meat cache , still in skins hanging.
Yours truely..........
If the temps keep up, we might have to get used to an extra month of Fall and of Spring.
Thats not nearly the problem mid winter warm up have on Caribou and Moose, but its not all that great either.
perhaps they should list ''Stress'' that the unknown and formerly reliable weather bring apon a hunter..... A shuks.....what list? Right? Cause many folks say this aint happening, driving a boat on Oct 12th in the Arctic..... LOL!!
