Some habits are hard to break!! Weeks ago I went hunting for moose and caribou. We chose to float the Gulkana River. At one point we rounded a bend and spotted a caribou swimming across the river. Once on the bank it was standing broadside less than 100 yards. Crosshairs fixed and the taste of caribou stew already tickling my thoughts. I didn't shoot!! It was at the Gulkana River crossing and the pipeline bridge was only yards beyond the bou, albeit well above. Easy shot but all I could think about was 'what if' and "former Alyeska employee..." headlined in the news. No caribou yet this year but I did get a good story that sparked memories of time past.
