[QUOTE="Dskiper, post: 2117542, member: 10212"] I am up tis hour(3:30am) most days. I must tell this story of best hunt. I went caribou hunting in NWT, canada in 1999 & 2001. @ that time it was cheaper than going to Quebec. any way we were on a narrow point of land on a lake shore. we glassed fom this point being able to see over a few miles. cows& small bulls were moving around my sight but nothing big. the guide (eskimo) was a village ranger when not inthis camp. he carried a old surplus .303 british bolt. now he has the spoting scope and says he sees some wolfs a long ways away. I look with 40x glasses.
