This year that would have been a perfect time. Who knows about next year? Would suggest you check the migration maps. If the caribou are there, you'll have to work a little harder but shouldn't have a problem with the bow.There is diesel available at Camp 381 and at the Mirage. But the rule of thumb is, 'Never pass a place where you can fill up'. And bring 3 or 4 fuel cans with you in case of emergency. As far as a snowmobile goes, their handy. Some years you don't need them, other years you can't do anything without them. I don't know where you're located, but if you've got a long drive to get there, it's better to rent one from them than to haul one all the way up. Good luck on your hunt next year.

I'm going back next month, as the herd has finally turned and going into the zone where you can hunt. There's a link to the migration maps at the Mirage website.
