Double Shovel, Double Trouble - Another Stalk and Spook Failure

Our favorite native Montanas are up to it again, unsuccessfully spoking this great Alaska Caribou Bull.  Dane T. Norris was lucky enough to draw a limited draw tag this year with and took an amazing full velvet, double shovel mature bull.  He said with all his spooking techniques he's learned over the years, he finally toned them down enough to get this bull on the ground.  Fighting through mosquitoes as thick as Churck Norris biceps (both of them combined) and having to pack this bull out over 7 miles, it didn't stop him and his faithful team of Mike and Steph from completing the job.  On asking him on how the 7+ mile pack back to the truck was he said "It was heavy."  Couldn't have said it better.  The weirdest thing they encountered mosquitoes still sucking on the antlers of the caribou after he had shot it.  Velvet must be tasty this time of year.  Awesome story and beautiful pictures.  I got to make it up there again soon.  Good look with the upcoming Spook season everybody!
