Bowhunting for CARIBOU | Alaska Moose & Caribou (EP. 1)

[@PerfectoM]

I really appreciate you guys posting this video. It helps paint a picture of how I can get myself on a Caribou in Alaska. It is definitely on the bucket list. Good work and thanks again. You guys are awesome.

[@winkieandleah]

The slap happy laughter of excitement to be almost where you are going while you're trying to wake up. Not yet a hunter, but the excitement of y'all is palpable.

[@flinginairos]

I did the same trip in early August. We saw THOUSANDS of Caribou it was amazing. We took two great bulls north of Toolik river. Beautiful country!

[@wimtheeuwen7315]

The Golden Trio, heaving fun while seriously hunting. When the animals are there they make someting awesome happen.

[@robscrazywife]

No matter what is going on, Marcus is in a good mood. No matter what I have going on, watching these videos makes me smile and laugh. Thanks for sharing your adventures and positive attitudes!

[@bullbusteradventures1978]

Love seeing the videos of Marcus and the boss hunting together. I’ve been trying to get my wife involved in hunting and these videos help.

[@jaredmoon1587]

My very first big game kill was an Alaskan caribou with my bow along the Dalton Highway. I’ve loved watching your content for years, now I get to say “HEY! I’ve been there!” Which is extremely cool...I have a POW bear tag in my pocket so maybe I’ll do it again haha.

[@RatdogDRB]

Always enjoy any Alaska hunt... one thing about Alaska which I do miss.

[@stitchotis]

Thanks for the running tally, I’ve been trying to figure out how much it would cost me to do something similar

[@huntnnw]

you could shave thousands by driving

[@nickjohns1192]

The price of the flights is mind blowing. I could fly from Ireland to Canada or USA for cheaper.

[@andreasweber5638]

That’s big country you’re visiting . Kinda humbling and beautiful

[@stanleyshelby7460]

Thanks Marcus and Kara...try not to let us down. Good luck.

[@denisemead764]

Alaska is so beautiful and interesting! Drove 3500 miles in rented RV with my Dad just looking for animals and fishing. Was his lifetime dream to go, so was his 75th birthday present. Was so fun! I didn't think it was as expensive as I expected. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Good luck and looking forward to your series!

[@rodneykimberlyhenry5056]

Sweetheart, the country is beautiful. Can't wait to see it unfold

[@MrBowNaxe]

This is going to be a cool series... Thanks for the running tally, I think a bunch of folks like me have always wondered what it would cost to do something like that. Can't wait to see what's next.

[@MrPoonomatic]

I love the giggles and the loose feel of this video.

[@livinglikeahuman7918]

This made me so happy. I know the feeling you all had early on in the video. Keep em coming 🔥🔥

[@ScotWalt858]

For me, this would be the trip of a lifetime!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@kenwilson3982]

Great episode Marcus keep em coming love em

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

I have been looking forward to this one as well since I saw a couple updates on the IG and listened to the story on HuntTalk Radio with Marcus and Randy. Definitely looks and sounds like an epic adventure. Thanks for doing a running tally on this hunt. Most people think that you have to spend 14-25k on an Alaskan moose hunt per person. But that’s a guided and staying in a lodge, not DIY public land. Less than 8k so far and that’s with 3 people. Still $2300 per person and some of us can’t afford that but we could if one made a point to save up for it over a year or two. Thank you for sharing.

[@macsmith2092]

I have been waiting to see some content on your trip to Alaska! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@tyrelroberge6874]

I've done that hunt before for caribou!! Its alot of fun! Saw a big bull moose and musk ox and grizzly. It was awesome

[@krookpd01]

Can you get a tag for muskox

[@tyrelroberge6874]

@@krookpd01 i believe u can but its a draw tag

[@bigrainbow25]

I really think the stewardess on the plane gave you guys some special cookies from the legal state of Washington haha... if not it had to be the Dandy lion you were chewing on... trip of a lifetime for anybody it's great you're having so much fun

[@randyteich1268]

You are right they are everywhere up there I found its best to get in a good spot and sit and wait

[@dirtclodaz.1161]

Cool episode, looking forward to more Alaskan scenery.

[@TheOffGridHunter]

Great episode!

[@charliemcabee4123]

Always love watching Marcus and Tara. If you ever leave Randy, y'all could definitely have your own successfull show. Good luck

[@TemplesLongtailsandFurs]

A loud ear splitting whistle will often get a caribou to stop and take a better look at the source of the noise, often giving a nice broadside shot. I had a buddy that took some time to get comfortable for a shot, and the caribou eventually wouldn't stop for the whistle any more. In desperation I yodeled at them, and then the work started!

[@edkody989]

Great views and love the running tally.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Glad you enjoyed

[@joshpomponio2993]

Great vid can’t wait to see the rest thanks for sharing

[@michaelkarr6353]

I could do without the nervous giggling. Good luck!

[@indyhunter9541]

Very nice start! Cant wait to see more great footage!

[@tommurphy6972]

Looks like a good start to me!!

[@durrelloverholt6293]

Great video!! Someone knows how to have fun !! Love it !

[@garden2tableproduce]

Guided moose hunt is 20k i think and caribou is 8k so not bad really when I go to Alaska im gonna drive

[@cjalden1976]

I usually don’t count food into the trip price. Yes it’s typically more than eating at home but you’re have to eat either way.

[@zach5620]

Here before people start crying that randy isnt in this series. Thanks for all your work Randy and gang!

[@neonwhitea.1548]

Randy is mule deer hunting during this video I’m pretty sure

[@justintroyer3769]

Obviously Marcus left out the trip to the Alaskan dispensary, or maybe ther were all delirious from lack if sleep. Looks like a good time either way, love all you guys do, keep it up!

[@justinv9209]

Haha it’s pretty funny watching this I did the same trip in August with could be the same truck! Watching you guys chase the baby bou is great!

[@millspecscott]

I love the videos like this I’ve been laughing the whole time

[@tterexx426]

Yeah, one of the most humorous hunting videos around

[@moneyandtimefreedom3352]

“140 take him”, 😂🤣

[@clarkansas6590]

Looks fun. Good job

[@randytrimble3493]

Thanks for the cost breakdown. Could you guys also list the gear you found essential and what you wish you had?

[@chloehennessey6813]

That looked like the airport in Fairbanks. It’s been awhile tho. Next time stop in that little shed outside of Fairbanks by Fox you’ll see a building on the side of the highway. Fill your water jugs there. It’s artesian water and some of best you’ll ever taste! It’s free. The semi that went by you guys. My uncles friend does that. Drives all the way to Prudhoe Bay with like huge huge loads and makes like $5,500 a load going there and $2,500 a load going back in the winter. That’s all he does he said is drive his semi 6 months out of the year 6 days a week and then he takes six months off and stays on the ranch next to us.

[@doughtyma1]

Did you check your Yeti hard cooler on the flight? We are headed up this September and that is one thing I don't understand how to handle.

[@shednesshunting2578]

Hope ya get something nice and you guys crack me up and them grizzlies are huge😳

[@swalt59]

That is the A team!

[@jcarry5214]

I like all the episodes but I always notice I like Michael's work a lot. Not sure what it is about it, I think maybe he's just got a good framing eye, doesn't overthink it like I would.

[@traviscram1364]

Hey Marcus, would you and the other camera guys do a review on the tripods you guys use? I'm looking to replace mine for my spotting scope this year and hope to get back into hicking into the backcountry again.

[@tyrelpalmerak]

FAIRBANKS!!! Wish I could have said Hi, I’m here in North Pole, AK and I go to that Costco too. Hahaha.

[@samuelhanson5329]

love it guys, cool content.

[@jrchismorie]

How was it for car rental? Because some companies don't let you drive on the Dalton highway...

[@shartman170]

I listened to their podcast and I think they went through a off road car rental place.

[@TemplesLongtailsandFurs]

Drove right by my house!

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

That is a fun hunt, did it many times while stationed at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage. Buddy and I used to drive up every year for Moose, Caribou, Griz, Wolf. Anyone doing this hunt should also pick up a Griz and Wolf tag...many opportunities. Caribou is pretty tough due to little cover. Also wondering if rental car companies changed their policies...many used to not allow you to take their vehicles up the Haul Road...not sure how they would know but. Caribou are primarily North of Atigun pass and the rest South between pass and Coldfoot.

[@MarcusHockett]

Non-residents can’t do griz without a guide. But we used Alaska 4x4 Rentals and they definitely charge a premium to be able to drive the haul road.

[@pf7368]

the price of the tags is wild. im so danm lucky to live in alberta. . . moose tag for bow which is often just over the counter, no draw.... 40$

[@45auto]

Is that for non-resident?

[@averagearcher9523]

Yeah that's the part your missing, the prices he is stating is for non resident alaska. You look at the costs for a non resident to hunt alberta, especially someone from the us, who has to be guided. Montana for example is $20 for resident elk tag. $800 for non resident

[@loganholmberg2295]

Could you save a bunch of money driving your owb vehicle there? I thought the BC gov was allowing americans to drive through BC as long as you drove directly to Alaska?

[@maxhunter953]

Holly I guess the tag is expensive because of non resident of Alaska? Unbelievable price

[@nicholasstone1826]

As a non hunter this looks impossible to me. There is no way you can possibly get within bow range. Really hope I'm wrong.

[@nuuuuuut]

Over $400 for plane tickets? Damn, i guess Allegiant doesn't fly to Alaska.

[@jacobnajar76]

Awesome video love the hunt with the only thing that bugs me is when people say back to the States like Alaska's another country it is a part of America but other than that awesome video

[@georgehoy5144]

Some of your food costs are constant whether your at home or in Alaska you have to eat.

[@toddcarter717]

You obviously haven't priced food in Alaska. Milk $5 a gallon

[@ronfunk7683]

Still $$$ for most of us.

[@thaynequiner6978]

you came to alaska didnt i comment on a video saying you should go caribou hunting in alaska

[@travisbowers5143]

Nothing is cheap about hunting in a place that far away from the lower 48! I always thought AK had a rule you HAD to utilize a guide if you are a non resident?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

It depends on what species you are chasing.

[@darkstreakaia5267]

With no cover I would drop the packs and crawl.

[@scrappyclappedoutfoxbody4174]

This is why I’ll probably never go out west to hunt. Lol. I kill big bucks and turkey in my yard for free

[@stewarthoy7357]

You shouldn’t count groceries. You have to eat whether you are home are hunting.

[@huntnnw]

I never count groceries as a cost on a hunt. Hell I eat way cheaper on a hunt than if I were at home

[@21elkaholic]

Not cheap

[@michaeltubbs2493]

I could never afford it myself

[@SCNative_76]

At that rate it only cost you $160 a pound for your meat. You could have bought 4-5 whole beef for that trip...JMHO.

[@SteelheadTed]

You are completely missing the point.

[@SCNative_76]

@@SteelheadTed I get the point. Smh

[@greggress4876]

When I had five trained bird dogs for grouse hunting, I know I was over $1000.00 a lb for basically chicken!

[@SteelheadTed]

@@SCNative_76 then your comment seems kind of silly. If you understand that a trip like this is about more than just the meat then measuring the trip based on cost per pound of meat is a meaningless measurement.

[@SCNative_76]

@@SteelheadTed why waste your money and have nothing to show for it. I get the premise of the hunt smh.

[@colbykinney5633]

Prudhoe sounds like a oxymoron.

[@dalelangila9274]

You can not really figure in food cost as your going to eat no matter where your at

[@jimsomerville3924]

True, if talking purely about the net cost, though the differential is relevant versus staying at home and eating. I would assume they could eater cheaper by staying home, due to price of food in Alaska, the need for more expensive prepared foods, eating out, etc. And if talking cash flow, then that money is coming out of your pocket for the trip.

[@jareddejong7118]

Why did Michael the cameraman need a hunting licence?
