Hey Jon you may have to marinade your steaks in milk overnight like some people I know do with their spruce grouse. Never tried it myself, but they claim it gets rid of the gamey taste of the meat. I commend you for retrieving your caribou. I have seen too many instances were deer and moosewere left tospoil because hunters did not think they hit the animal after they shot at it and searched only a little to try and find some blood or any sign that they hit it. A good hunter is judged by his ethics and respect for the game he hunts not by how many he killed and how big they are. I must admit though Ido admirenice set of antlers as much as the next guy. 2 more days until I leave to go to Mirage. Sounds like it will be agreat trip judging by what everyone else is saying on the forum.
