[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 242257, member: 412"] I've done that trip and here's the most important thing I learned: Make sure you and whomever you're going with are 100% compatible for that length of time. We found out that a person I consider a good friend and I don't belong together for more than 2-3 days. Too many Alphas can wear thin quickly, especially if the Alphas are bickering and there's more than just them in camp, gets really old really fast and taints what really should be a magnificent time to just soak everything in and enjoy. The other thing I learned, take about 5 more vacation days than you actually need for travel time and the hunt. If you need to flex your hunt on the front or back end due to weather, luggage, or other unforeseen logistical issues it's nice to not have to hurry. Between the bickering and we ran into weather logistics on the way home that ended with us hopping on a plane looking at our gear bags and gun cases sitting on the tarmac with no clue how or if we'd ever get them home, I'd rather just go hunt Antelope somewhere. In my vast experience of once (grin), Caribou and Antelope hunting are very similar minus the travel and being off-grid which certainly has a lot of appeal. [/QUOTE]
