Hoofed Beasts

There are three main hoofed mammals in Denali Park that everyone wants to see: caribou, dall sheep, and moose.  I saw two caribou on my first day getting to camp, but am yet to see any since.  We would see dall sheep almost everyday going to work early in the season-- less so as there are more cars on the road.  And moose?  We see moose all the time.  Looking for the big racks on the moose?  They fall off every season and the moose have to grow them back during the summer.  They haven't gotten to the stereotypical size yet.
