I have two rules when guiding Kodiak brown bear hunts, use the biggest gun you can handle accurately and absolutely NO mechanical broadheads.

Great job! Congrats to your daughter. Is that Karluk Lake in the background? It looks like where O'Malley runs into Karluk.

Congrats Roy! Our church sends our youngsters on missions too. We generally serve humanitarian missions where you Mormon guys mainly proselytize(I think). I know how proud and nervous you must be. It's amazing how much they mature during their mission.

Give your Dad a big congrats from me. That's a hell of an accomplishment. They can be some pretty tough hunts too. I see these bears on a daily basis and I still can't get use to how huge they are.

>Alaska! Tons of huntin' and >tons of "summer teeth". True. You know what we say about finding a spouse on our Alaska dating sites. "The odds are good but the goods are odd."

My son and I use to guide for bears on POW and Kuiu. On our off days we'd always rented the forest service cabin on Control Lake. Most of the other cabins on POW are fly-in or hike-in cabins.

Why not a DIY hunt? Kodiak rentals will rent you all you need and have it down and waiting at Trident Basin for you. Fly into town, go to Macks and get your licenses, go to Safeway for food and then down to the float plane basin and fly out. What time of year are you coming up?

I talk to or deal with Andrew Air at least two or three times a week. (I live here) and I would highly recommend them. I don't know how the company I work for could do without them. I would also give North River Air some serious consideration. I've had either Taj or Eric fly me on several hunts...

It was a good earthquake. It shook the hell out of our house.

Like we tell people looking for a spouse here in Alaska, "The odds are good but the goods are odd!"

I'm pretty sure you Mormons use to pay your tithes that way all the time. I see no problem taking 10% of what you reap and helping others out. I just wouldn't bother your clergy with it. He/she is probably overloaded this time of year anyway.

My son's and my 480 goats. Caution! if you are not in tip-top shape, don't try this hunt!!! It was brutal!

Nice, nice buck. It reminds me of the ones my son and I use to kill on POW. Congrats to your friend!

Lucky, I'm not questioning you with an evil eye, just so you know. If you do it right, those chart are more accurate than most people think. Especially the front track/nose to tail measurement. I've been in on a sh!t-ton of black/griz/Kodiak kills and I can look at your bears and say you shot...

The vulgarity police edited my post. I meant to say C0ck-of-the-walk.

Sounds like an awesome hunt. Hunting bears is one of my favorite hunts. I have to commend you on taking the kids hunting. I bet your son is the #####-of-the-walk at school right now. He will always remember that hunt. Good Dad. 450lb and 500lb bears! That's huge for a black bear! I gotta ask...

NickM, looks like the southeast side of our island. How did your hunt turn out?

An Arctic Oven is 56#s. How much are going to spend every time you fly it up and back from Alaska? It might be worth it to you, maybe not. Most over weight charges are 40 cents a pound. All the tents that have been suggested in this thread would work almost anywhere in Alaska.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-10-15 AT 01:23AM (MST)[p] Look into renting or buying an Arctic Oven tent. They're very popular up here for a reason. I see quite a few North Face VE25 tent around here too. Hillbergs are pretty spendy but I have a friend who bought one and resold it on Ebay when he got back...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-20-15 AT 09:54AM (MST)[p]If you're going to hunt from a tent, be SURE you bring a bear fence. You can save on baggage fees by renting camp gear here from Kodiak Kamps. I've helped set up camps with guys that have rented from them. Everything was in order and in good shape...

The Sitkas here start shedding in the last week of August. Yes I have a couple friend who have killed ferel reindeer while hunting deer near Ayakulik Lake on the southeast side. They saw many deer during their hunt so hunting both is very doable. If you want to fly in and hunt deer and...

I think because of the lack of snow this year the first of May might be pretty good.

About the middle of May to the third week of June. May would be the best time because the leaves haven't unfurled yet and you'll have a better chance of seeing them. But it depends on the snow too. We've had a great winter up here this year so I don't think you'll have to worry about getting in...

I put my son, my wife and her son in for DB261. No tags for us. Damn!

I'd take the Slaughter ridge trail or Resurrection Pass trails near Coopers Landing. Stop into Wildman's store and ask where the trail head is. There is a ton of blackies there but do your research, things might have changed since 2011 when my wife and I were there.

I had an extra octopus laying around so I lopped off one of it's tentacles, marinated it and put it and some salmon, halibut and blacktail in my smoker. Everthing turned out great but the octopus. It wasn't firm and rubbery like octopus should be. It was soft and gooey.

I live in Alaska. Maybe I can help. I'd fly to Anchorage and take the train up into Danali Park. It's a beautiful ride into a beautiful park. It's faster to drive a car but you'd miss an awesome train ride. You can't fish in the park but if you drive up, there's great stream and lake fishing on...

The spring bears I've killed in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Prince Of Wales and Kuiu island Alaska were great! The steaks on my son's and my Kuiu bears were tough and chewy but I put a roast from each bear in the crock pot and they both turned out awesome! The fall Kodiak bears my friend shot last...

I live on the next island up from you. I see my family posting nasty weather pictures from down in the states and I can't believe it. It's nicer than last year on Afognak. It's been blowing like a dirty bugger the last few days though.

Today I took a 40 mile boat ride out of our bay and through the ocean to a distant bay where I know deer come down to eat kelp. I set up on a beach at 826 yards from the other beach. I've been there before and set up targets to check my drops. I know my rifle and it's capabilities and never...

I shot a spike elk in Idaho at 4 yards, a whitetail at eight feet and a Corsican ram 6 feet under the cliff I was standing on. Those were with a longbow. I also shot a fox at maybe 1 foot away. As I swung my shotgun towards it, I bonked it on the head. Scared the hell out of both of us. Shotguns...

Imagine how bad that 12 year old kid feels. I wonder what the particulars were. For long distance dial 1-800-338-EDGE

Well done Ron. I like the rivets on the first knife. Yesterday I boned a Sitka blacktail with the same knife I got for Christmas when I was 12 (41 years ago). After looking at yours it looks like it's time for a new knife. For long distance dial 1-800-338-EDGE

Maybe it's a younger wolf. I shot a wolf and I'm here to tell you, they're big! I'm not sure if they get 250lbs but damn they're hard to drag. A friend of mine shot one too. He said he was surprised how long it took to dig a hole big enough for it.
