Migrating with the caribou herd – Headed to North Slope of Brooks Range

by Squid Acres Kennel on April 14, 2011

 

It is time again! Time to pack the truck with our strongest dogs, a couple sleds, and gear for 10 days of living on the open tundra. This is what we live for each year, travelling with the dogs in the arctic while trying to procure the years worth of caribou meat for our freezer. We are headed to the North slope of the Brooks Range in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to intercept the migrations of caribou on their way to the coastal plain. Hunters are not allowed to use any motorized vehicles to hunt here. Only non-motorized transportation is allowed. So we will be doing what we love most, traveling by dog team. Stay tuned for stories and photos upon our return.
