Spotted these about a quarter mile from the house on the way to work. Still growing their summer coats and 7 or 8 weeks of antler growth to come.

Cool pics! That would be something to see on the way to work. :thumbsup:
That's what I was thinking, caribou in your backyard! Pretty singular experience.
Thanks for sharing.
Pretty neat!
Thats just so awesome. Down here in VA the coolest thing you get to see is a broken down car. Man I hate the city ....
You're living the dream up there man. You get to think a out fish all day? then you get to think about caribou all night! Holy Moly. thats all I gotta say
Kenai River flats above the Warren Ames bridge, just off Kalifornski Beach Road?
Ha Ha! Someone's been there! :thumbsup:
Nice bou!
Bucket list hunt for me. My plan is after the kid is gone its on!!!
Anyone know of Mile 4, on the K-beach rd? Right there at the S-curve...that's my childhood home :D
If you put a bucket of ice water out there, they might decide to stay in the area awhile. I know it's been a wee bit toasty up 49er way.
Thanks guys.
John, you nailed it. Pretty distinctive place. They have been out there more than usual lately, the mosquitos are absolutely horrendous this year and maybe that's why, to be in the wind more. Kindof neat as with the very late break-up this spring it had been thick on the flats with all kinds of waterfowl for a couple weeks or more, staging, waiting for lakes etc to open up elsewhere.
Shirikan- I'll be looking next time I go that way to Castle-off.
Kevin- we must be breaking June high temp records all over the State, and after a very very cold May...
