The first task of the day is to head out and locate Steve’s bear.
The route takes the team through a dense carpet of willow, but it’s low enough that we can navigate around the bushes rather than needing to cut a trail through them.
It now comes down to old fashioned fieldcraft and Steve must use all of his experience to find and follow the trail.
The team breathes a sigh of relief as we successfully recover the bear, but time is not on their side today.
It’s time to return to camp and get packed up ready to move to caribou country.
Once back at camp, it’s an exercise of military precision to get all of the equipment packed and stowed ready for transport.

On the next episode of Hunting in Alaska, now setup within Caribou Country it's time to out into the wild for some grizzly bear and caribou hunting
