    Caribou Drop Camp Hunt Info

    Congratulations Sagebrush, it sounded like you had a great hunt with Northern Air Trophy. Hammertime08, I hunted with Northern Air Trophy and wasn't so lucky. In fact it was a complete disaster. Basically a $5000 camping trip. I don't have good to say about Matt and Julie.

    Caribou unguided drop hunt suggestions?

    3 of us hunted with Northern Air Trophy out of Kotzebue and it was nothing more than a $5000 camping trip. We paid extra for additional days out in the field and also extra to be moved if we didn't see any Caribou. Unorganized nightmare comes to mind!!! We had 3 camps of hunters within a mile...

    Do you use 10x binos for Big Game Hunting?

    I currently have a pair of the old 10x42 EL's, 2 pair of 8x30 SLC's, a pair of 15x56 SLC's and last fall I picked up a pair of the new 10x42 Swarovision EL's. For bow hunting and turkey hunting my favorite is the 8x30 SLC but for mule deer and elk hunting I like the 10x42 EL's. The new...

    Alaska caribou?

    Well Sagebrush it sounded like you did your homework just like I did my homework. I heard enough good things about Northern Air to convince me to spend my hard earned money with them. And just like you I started researching caribou trips 2 years prior. I decided for my 30th birthday I wanted to...

    Alaska caribou?

    My trip in 2008 was a total disaster with Northern Air Trophies out of Kotzebue. Mike and Julie promised us everything and all we ended up with was an expensive camping trip. No one in my party even got a shot. We had 5 other camps of caribou hunters with 2 miles and we never heard a single...

The...
