Sitka Athlete, Chase Fulcher, chases his dream.
By plane, by boat, and by foot, Chase Fulcher is pursuing all five species of Caribou across North America. Over the last three years he has been planing this trip. It's been a jigsaw puzzle of arranging private charter planes, lodging, and outfitters while trying to forsee and follow the various seasonal migrations. The dream was conceived well before then, but the challenge of the preparation is what has consumed all that time.
Chase is no stranger to challenge. On the contrary, he seeks it out. Not your typical new experience, but the never been done type of adventure. That is the type of challenge he has set for himself this fall.
35 years of bowhunting, travel to various countries throughout the world, a Grand Slam, numerous trophy whitetails, and extensive military training may be the factors that will contribute to his success this fall. But in truth, what will have the greatest effect on this endeavor is the passion, enthusiasm, grit, and dedication that Chase pours into all of life's adventures.
