Default RE: ADAK Island

I lived there before and hunted it in the early 90's.The caribou where bought to ADAK by the navy.They relased 28 of them for a food source for war world 2.The second time, I was there, it was no limit on the caribou.The state of AK, told the military to shoot them all off because they where not native to the island.We hunted them year round.So I do not know what happen to the herd.I would not paid a guide for any hunting there.It is to easy thereare no trees, they have no place to go.They mainly stayed on the south end of the island.South ofTeardrop lake.I walked every where there.A boat would have made life easy to drive to the south side of island.It was like shooting fish in a barrel.But for a resident back then it only cost me 25.00 to kill them so it was cool.
