Kentucky,
Half of the group was in that plane while I had the pleasure of riding in a '62 Hello Courier. That plane had balls!

Those are great STOL aircraft as well! Maybe someday.

Great hunt/pics and I'm glad I'm not the only one up here running a Grendel. I just wish Sportsmans carried ammo ...

Feetpiece,
As you know when in Alaska you cannot take advantage of the online ammo companies. Most will not ship due to stricter shipping/hazmat laws from Obama. What I did is order several hundred rounds then used a cargo shipper to ship it on the barge to anchorage. It cost me about $70 for the shipping but it was a lot of ammo. I would suggest looking into that. If you cannot ship it directly to the cargo company from online store I would not mind buying it for you and shipping if you pay for it.
I heard ammo king was going out of business on Boniface. They do carry wolf grendel ammo which is good for plinking and practice.

I thought the problem of online ammo shipping to Alaska was more Stephen Harper et al. won't let it through at all. : )

As a fyi I had the same problem with the 120's in my bhw barrel, but the 100gr ttsx shoots really good.
Looks like an awesome hunt, would really like to get a caribou myself someday

What a nice hunting story! Think it made of us want to go out too. Have you sent this story to Hornady? I think they would very happy to hear how well the 123 SST held up not only in distance but on big beautiful caribou. Really made my day!
