Some Caribou have been had lately allrighty, lots are drying on the rack inthe yard, but Boating is apon us Folks here in the Arctic, so I threw all the girls in and took 'em for a ride to look at how far the ice has gone.
As well , we checked on a favord Camp, Kookoochack and dropped off a few things to lighten the load and made our way the to the 'inlet', Kobuk Lake' between the rivers mouths here on the Delta and the Sea.
Didnt see any Sea animals down there, but the river is advanced out only about 1/4 miles, but while we were there, i knocked off a dozen ducks, fat and fresh from the South and a great agument to the Hotdogs, mustard and dryed meat we brought for the day. We checked on the house at the "Lower camp" where we wait for waether or stay at when were hunting/fishing down by the lake, and found the winters occupant wasnt very neat or clean to our dismay, so we returnd to our Kookoochack Camp and went to work.
We all cleand an old Fur Cache' the father in law built in the 50's with trees around, and a few years back we replaced the barrels that keep mice and other roadent from the furs (cant climb up), and being a good roof and breezey walls, Fur will be hung in there soon, as we leave our beddings and winter clothes in there.Good for storeing all kinds of cloth, fur and such.
I put in a new barrel stove I made this winter from an old thick barrel.
All the while the ladys cleaned up the house, yard (spring cleaning) and took care of the Ducks, burning feathers and roasting a bunch, 10 total......Mmmmmmmmmmwhat a lunch!
Then the Second oldest daughter caught a Beaver on teh way home as the rest of us looked out for Mammoth to Hunt
The moment she hit its brains.....can just see some flyin'
And she took care of it nicely....
also found this ......
