Just touching base with y'all ! Everyone practicing and got their set ups down ?
Are you practicing with a caribou target or just using the standard white tail ?

Where are you hunting? I was fortunate enough to go to Quebec in '99 and again in '03. Prices have skyrocketed since then, so I am glad I went when I did. With Quebec doing away with nonresident hunting (at least from what I have read) I really cherish my time up there.

I actually rigged up an old McKensie ram target on a cable system and could vary the speed it traveled by adding or decreasing weight on a drag rope. I had been told that a moving shot was a real possibility, so I did most of my practice on my moving target. My first bull in '03 was walking, but the second bull was standing still.

I was shooting a Black Widow SAIII that was 53# @ my draw length. Arrows were Grizzlysticks with Wensel Woodsmans mounted on 125 grain steel adapters. Total arrow weight was 625 grains. Pass thrus on both bulls.

Temps varied a lot. I ended up wearing my Gray Wolf Woolens most of the time and had to pull out my rain gear at least once a day. Have a great trip and let us know how it goes!

Dax, I haven't decided yet whether to make a caribou target or just shoot at my big whitetail target. I think I'm gonna go with the latter. If I can hit that at 30 yards then I can surely hit a caribou.

I think I'm all set, gear-wise. Got a new EXO-5500 pack a couple of months ago and have been walking around with it holding 50 pounds of mineral salt. Got some new game bags too. I'm ready to haul some meat!

I'm getting excited for our trip to the tundra!
