Last season, the Tier 1 Unit 13 caribou hunt was slim picking. Fish and Game opened the season with bulls only, and it seemed we could only find the cows. Apparently, we should have been in Eureka, instead of on the Denali Highway. Nevertheless, we had a great hunt, and eventually found a few straggler bulls to fill the freezer.
