Kodiak Blacktail trip

[bama]

I've booked a boat trip for 6 with Alaska Coast Marine (www.alaskacoastmarine.com) for Sitka Blacktails for week of November 17 - 24, 2007.
I've got 4 hunters - one recurve, 2 compounds- need two more hunters.  nparks@petrey.com if interested.

Bama,

can you send me the details on that trip?  I'd love to do that some time in the near future!  Thanks

Fly to Kodiak on Friday, spend the night in motel.
Saturday morning fly small plane to boat.  Hunt from boat through following Saturday morning.  Three deer limit.  Boat handles 6 hunters.  Total cost of boat is $13,200 ($2,200 per hunter).  I had to book the whole boat which is why I'm looking for two more.  They sell deer tags on the boat so you don't have to buy the second one until you've used the first one.  I've spoken to several people who have gone and they all say its a great experience.  In one article, Chuck Adams say its his favorite place to hunt - calls it "a poor man's sheep hunt".  There are pros and cons to various times but we decided that week in November was a good one.  Check out  www.alaskacoastmarine.com.   Also, there are a number of articles in Traditional Bowhunter.

Bama,

I gun hunted Kodiak in 2004...you are in for a treat    .  I have a few other irons in the fire, but if they fell through, I would go in a second.  That deer hunt is the best hunt there is, and Kodiak is the most beautiful place I have ever been.  Take a shotgun for ducks.

WFK,

Just fly from the one hunt to the other  :D  

I've heard many good things about the transporter Bama is using.  I've been fortunate to hunt many of the NA species and Sitka Blacktail on Kodiak are the TOPS!

Thanks for the encouragement Steve O.  I'm really pumped about the trip.  Everything I've heard echos your opinion.
