On this hunt, Steve, Janis Putelis, and Janis Sr. head to the remote wilderness of interior Alaska by bush plane to search for moose and caribou. Janis Sr. has never been to Alaska before, and his first trip is nothing short of an amazing experience, made even better since he gets to share the hunt with his son. Steve and Janis Sr. have bull moose tags and Janis has a caribou bull tag. It’s the peak of the moose rutting season and the bulls are on the move searching for cows. At the same time, the last few migrating caribou are moving through the area towards their wintering grounds. With plenty of time, the guys are able to hunt hard, soak in the beauty of the remote Alaska Range wilderness, and enjoy some of the finest game meat in Alaska.
