With just a few days left to hunt in Alaska, Marcus and Kara still have tags to fill. The Bou Bus crew takes a bold approach, using packrafts to float down a remote river and set up a spike camp in the heart of caribou country. After navigating the challenges of river travel and a few close calls, both Marcus and Kara harvest beautiful bull caribou. Join us for an unforgettable journey filled with determination, adventure, and success in Alaska’s wild landscape.

Your trip was the best video I've watched in a very long time. It's like I got to meet you without being there. Well done.
Totally enjoy every minute of this video 👍👍
Thank you for taking us along.
Nothing better than an adventure with family and friends!!! I could feel the pain that you never fully expressed though. The pleasure is worth the pain though. Memories made!!!
I gotta be honest I think the Kara vlogs are some of my favs 😂
Rules of the game should be same for you and Bull caribou. They are in nature without weapons, u should also face with with ur bare hands and eat raw with your teeth. Why hide like a coward and use sophisticated technology .
Thanks for videoing this adventure. I enjoyed watching. It's no joke packing 5 bulls from the rifle area. Nice work all!
Great video guys. I enjoyed every episode.
Great memories made Im sure!
Fresh Tracks is lucky to have the Hockett’s
Congratulations to the whole team on a great trip.
I'm optimistic about the future! I don't care who's in office or what catastrophic events happen I'm still optimistic! I maintain this optimism by looking at the past!!!
What a fantastic adventure! The best with friends! A trip of a lifetime. Thanks for taking us along!
Man he was going to come and introduce himself Kara, then shake hands. And you plug him. Well he'll eat good. Marcus, in my opinion if the land is public, it belongs to all of us. More people can use the minerals and oil under it than the animals on top. Now I'm also one to say that urban sprawl in and around the cities is more wrong. Skyscrapers can house a lot of people. We don't need sub divisions going up helter scelter, taking farmland, rangeland, and forest out of production. This is destroying habitat way more than a couple roads in Alaska.
Not just a bit of a hypocrite that is a full-blown hypocrite. As someone who was born and raised here and has lived here for sixty two years, I am for the road.I believe it would do our economy a lot of good and our people
Kara leave marcus @ the camp, you had 3 good shots except for wait, wait & wait! LOL !
Thanks for sharing your experience and awesome trip. Hope y’all will do a gear breakdown, pros and cons
Great job bringing us along on your adventure. I look forward to more of these types of hunts in the future.
That series was great, makes me want to go do it with my friends and family. How about listing a gear list, how much gas did you bring along for the van and generator?
To me figuring out all the gear you’ll need is the hardest part.
Never in my life have I seen animals come almost directly towards the hunters hunting them. I guess there’s a first time for everything…
Flour!!! Roll that meat in flour brown it. Salt pepper garlic salt
What model Packrafts did you use for this trip?
Awesome adventure for sure!! Most enjoyable! Curiosity killed the Caribou? 🙂
Great video. Keep up the great work!
You guys were hunting the central arctic caribou herd, not the western arctic herd. Two different herds and migration routes.
Hunting in chestwaders, who’d thunk that was a thing
Looking forward to your cost analysis and gear reviews. What worked and what didn't.
Loved watching this series
Epic, thank you sharing this adventure with us all
Dang, living the life i dream about. Looks like alot of fun with good friends! Priceless!
I hunt where they are now and I bring my Sherp with me because I have a bad back. I go through the rivers up the hills with no problem. I sleep in the Sherp and it's n8ce and warm with my ceramic heater I use from my solar I havevon the roof and lithium ion batteries.😊
I have star Link which is wonderful.😊
i normally dont comment but i really like this series. its nice to see things done in a way that the average guy can afford to do. i think this should be a yearly series. my favorite videos you guys have posted. i think you should even include footage of the vehicle search and purchase. new vehicle every year. i really enjoy this, and i think alot of other people will as well
great hnt; keep uo the great work
Bucket list hunt for me. I really appreciate your content and really enjot it. Keep it up and congratulations on a memory for a lifetime.
awesome experience for you all. I appreciate the roads, vehicles, etc that we have now but we DON'T need more. Our population growth needs to stop, that is what needs to happen.
Awesome!!!
Great hunt, great content. The enduring debate about development and accessing our last wild areas continues.
I will watch for the review of what it took to mount this trip and final costs. The van sale will be interesting too. Impressive that the 5 of you spent that much travel time in a van and then in less than easy camping conditions for so many days. Did you all take a hotel for one night before heading home or somewhere on the trip? The details could be in a blog, not vlog.
Markus and Kara ,and friends this was such a fantastic hunt to watch thank you for sharing this. And Congratulations to you all so well deserved. May you all have a blessed Christmas with family and friends.
Awesome video
Awesome videos! Kudos to you all for sharing your adventures! At 66 years old I’m afraid my ability to experience an adventure like this has passed but I sure enjoyed watching you all experience it.
Good job crew!
What an adventure!!! Such beautiful terrain with a sh*t load of bou!!!
This series was one of the best videos on this channel in a long time. I really enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed this little series. I would love to do a hunt like this with a couple of good friends.
Quite impressive trip and experience! Reminds me of road trips to Baja to surf/windsurf… Toasty curls, local food and copious smiles.
Awesome series, love the camaraderie and behind the scenes feel to the adventure.
I am surprise that literally nobody on any of these caribou hunting videos tried flagging! Of course with these ones they came right to you anyways.😆
