As healthy stated, it would mostly be a COLD meat hunt. I did a February hunt at King Salmon, AK when I lived in Anchorage with a bunch of other guys. It was fun, it was very cold, and we all shot two caribou and none had antlers. We did make a point of studying them to pick out the biggest bodied ones assuming they were bulls. The wind picked up the third day of our hunt real bad. Thank goodness we had 5-6 bou to weight down the tents. Cold weather camping is the most ultimate survival. Better have great cold weather gear, a very good sleeping bag, and a reliable stove.

I would think that a November or December hunt would still have bulls running around with racks still on.
