Nice, Herb!
What caliber did you use on the Caribou? Looks like there was quite a bit of snow on the ground. Long slog?
Excellent camo job by the Ptarmigan. Must have been hard to see him.
Give us some details of the hunt, please.

Looking at their heads seems You shot them only for ample tender meat . Good going buddy. You are one successful Alpha male who has managed to provide enough meat for the family to last a year or two.

Amazing snaps. The spectacular wilderness in the background of the first snap says it all. Hunting in snow must be quite an experience in itself .
How windy is the place?
I assume you must have taken some long shots?
