Matt's Caribou

Matt and Jen hunted with Dad on day 5 because Uncle Will was sick.  They didn't have much luck until just after lunch time.  Then, 4 bulls came off the mountain and into the pass area.  Matt and Jen set-up to make a stalk and Dad went ahead with the truck in case they got around them.

Unfortunately, as Matt and Jen were setting up, two subsistence hunters spotted the bulls and set-up with rifles (only subsistence hunters can use rifles within 5 miles of the road).  They shot two of the bulls before they got to Matt and Jen.

Fortunately, the remaining two bulls headed back towards the pass and Matt was able to cut them off.  He had three tags in his pocket, and he managed to get a shot on both of the bulls!  Congratulations!
