Western Alaska’s GMU19 - Caribou - 

Usually found in the remote tundra of western Alaska, caribou are majestic wanderers on whatever range they are found.  Subsistence hunting may take place year-round, however the sport season usually begins in August and ends at the end of September. The heart of caribou range in August and September is "Game Management Unit" #19.   GMU19 contains the Big River Herd and scattered herds located between the Mulchatna River in the south, to the North Fork of the Kuskokwim River in the north.  Most hunters see from 20 to 500 caribou per day and it's not uncommon to see impressive herds of several thousand, no matter where you hunt.  Guided and unguided hunts are available.
