First Caribou!

Dad got the first caribou in camp on the third day with bow and arrow.  Uncle Will pushed a herd of about 20 towards Nick, Jen, Matt, and Dad twice in the afternoon.  The first time, they went within 20 yards of Dad, but he couldn't see them around the rock he was hiding by.  The second time, Dad was able to get a shot at 45 yards and got the biggest bull of the group!

Earlier that day, Dad also got a red fox - what a day.  When everyone got back to camp the northern lights were glowing green and red right over the tent - really neat!  Since it was October 1st, Dad was convinced that he'd lost his job during the government shut-down......what else could have resulted in so much good fortune!
