Did the same hunt as Sal in 99 with the same outfit. Using the gps coords I figured out we were 7 miles N of Lake Ilaimna after I got back.
I was shocked at the amount of caribou. The second night we woke up to the sound of hundreds of bou jogging by our tent huffing as they went by....we initially thought it was a bear or bears. We got our 4 for 2 guys and then ptarmigan hunted and fished for bows and grayling. We didn't even have to use sandshrimp for the grayling like Blades did.
That was one cool trip. I hope to take my son up there to do that one.
