Heli Day!

We had our first Helicopter Drop off days 2 weeks ago. Exciting! Two helis picked up teams to take them about 60km up north to control grids, where we were expecting to find lots of caribou scat. The first day, we landed in great caribou habitat, in fact we didn't get much farther than 300 m from our drop off point because we found caribou tracks and beds everywhere! The second day was not so good because we found deer (what we are not looking for). Deer tracks everywhere, and the few places we found either caribou or moose tracks, the deer poops right at the crossroads where the tracks intersected. Not so successful. We are going to do our next set of heli days later this week...time to take more dramamine!
