Denali wilderness,Alaska-Caribou.
It was late Oct.,1969 in the area overlooking the Susitna river valley along HWY 8 (the old Denali HWY).The caribou were pretty much out of the high country by then due to heavy snowfall, but spotted a small herd & made a stalk.The herd was about to go out of sight & my buddy had a new fangled contraption called a range finder.He checked the range & said near as he could tell it was 380 to 420 yards (range finders have came a long way since then).I decided to try & sat down in the
snow & let go.When I recovered from the recoil, the critter was sliding down the mountain side into the valley between us.I don't know who was more surprised, me or my buddy.The rifle was a Rem. 700 ADL in 30-06 with some kind of hand load of 150 GR. boatails that I used for things that did'nt bite.The fun began on the way out of there as OLE MAN WINTER decided to test us dith heavy show driving skills.The last 30 miles out found us in a caravan of about 12-15 other vehicles trying to get out too.Fortunatly everyone worked together & we all got out of there. That HWY closed for the winter that day! It was a vvvery long drive to Anchrage that night-Heavy snow & mountains most of the way.AH, to be young again.
