Alaska State Fish and Game allowed 40 bulls to be taken from the MaComb herd near Delta Junction. 31 were taken from Aug 5 to Friday, Aug 19. They are shutting down the caribou hunt for the McComb herd Sunday, Aug 21. It was supposed to last until Aug 27.  Over the last 3 years we have made about 15 trips back into this area going to our mine and prospecting. We saw a total of about 30 caribou and that includes trips into the coal mine. We saw a large hunting camp by Jensen's mine up on the hill and about 6 hunters last weekend. They were all carrying meat. I think this area is now over hunted and the 40 bull limit has pretty much devastated the herd in the area of Granite and McCumber Creeks.  This was supposed to have been a walk in hunt.  Every one we saw were on bicycles and one camp looked like it was set up before the season began using motorized ATV's.  Maybe they are bringing the meat out with motorized rigs too after Aug 25 when the walk in restriction is lifted.
