(throughout the whole winter I thought they might be denned-up somehwhere sleeping.....naw, ain't that bears that do that?)
Torch, I think you got the right idea! Western Arctic Herd. I haven't hunted that area for Bou, yet, of course in the past we USED to have some around here.
That said, you guys might need a same-day-airborne season during the winter/spring like we have, good way to get meat.
good flying..>Byron

Are you scouting for caribou in your Smith xCub, maybe?
Ok, so I'm a pain in the rear. I admit it. I *did* give a thought that this particular post was regarding a homebuilt DeHaviland Caribou; no such luck. (Did DeHaviland make the Caribou, or is my mind really that far gone?)

Torch: is this the one that that Navy calls the C-2 Greyhound? I think they use(d) it for pax & mail delivery to carriers.

DeHavilland builds (built?) some very nice iron! And, their names for the aircraft is nice, too: Beaver, Otter, Caribou... Visions of boonie flying come to mind just thinking about them.
Hmmm... Does anyone make a Beaver kit for the homebuilder? I guess there's the Murphy Moose, with a round engine.
