So I want to go to Kodiak
I’m starting a fire in the alpine on kodiak is an unreliable thing to count on. There is no wood or burnable material. The only wood is alder, you might find cottonwood down in the bottoms but even that would be hard to count on. When I go alpine hunting it’s a mountaineering style tent... -

So I want to go to Kodiak
You’ll have no problems finding a pilot to fly you out in Kodiak, that’s a huge market for those pilots and there are a ton of them. I’ve flown with Seahawk air on Kodiak but I believe he has retired in the last year. Kodiak Air has a beaver and a pilot that flies into the small lakes. A lot... -

Advice for a Prince Of Wales Sitka Deer Hunt
I live in Anchorage, but have been down there to hunt. Check out Aktis calls, that’s what I’ve used and they work great. Also sitkablacktailhunter on YouTube has some good videos that show the strategy. -

Advice for a Prince Of Wales Sitka Deer Hunt
Calling deer in the rain is pretty cool, I would highly recommend a rut hunt. A couple tips that I learned: The deer are tiny. You can easily quarter and pack one out solo. Any rifle would work, since the deer are tiny. I was able to fit all of the quarters, antlers and extra meat into a... -

Hunting Medium This Fall (Hunting Hard Pending)
Woah, that sucks. Was this a lingering thing that came to a head all of a sudden? At 28 as well I’ve had a few injury scares that looked like I might miss out on some hunting, but thankfully it’s never come to that. Good luck with recovery, whitetail hunting on weekdays is always a decent...- Packout1

Unknown Suppressors OG Experience
Bought an OG Prototype for 400 bucks. First and only suppressor so far. Had a 6.5 PRC Tikka cut to 22 inches and threaded. And also had a 6.5 CM Tikka cut to 17 inches and threaded. So far, this thing is worth every penny. It’s a little ugly, as it wasn’t made to be sold to consumers, but... -

Coastal Black Bears- Why do you go? Why Don't you go?
Went on a really great southeast Alaska packraft black bear hunt last year, as a resident. Ponied up the $, flew out with a great pilot, packrafted all around the most game rich island I’ve ever been on, up and down a tidal channel that is a hydraulic miracle. Saw moose and deer constantly...- Packout1

Sweet tag!! I was just flying through the unit last week in a friends plane to go ski off of Eagle Glacier. We saw one band of 5 rams, one of which looked legal or damn close to it. PM me for more info on where, I would happily share.- Packout1

New pack recommendations
@Phaseolus Indeed, a fine dry weather pack as well. The reason I made the switch though, was to avoid soaking wet and stinking Cordura. I was awarded the honor of having the foulest smelling backpack to go through the Cordova airport in 2024, and I could not rid that Stone Glacier pack of...- Packout1

New pack recommendations
I just made the switch from stone glacier to a seek outside goshawk 2.0 this last season, and I was super impressed. If you hunt in wet weather regularly, seekoutside is a top option IMO.- Packout1

Ak draw
Great tag, congrats! Maybe the new wife will tag along? I hear there are some really nice rams left in there after the guiding closure. Make sure your next of kin guide has some fun too and let them take a caribou and a black bear as repayment for their services. I’m sure they would...- Packout1

“I don’t want you hunting this outfit.”
Normal folk here in AK fly in for hunts all the time. I was wondering how much that flight cost when I first saw the video… I’m going to guess 500-700 per hunter. Considering the cost of tags nowadays, or the cost of a four wheeler, or the cost of a hotel for a week, etc, fly ins are actually...- Packout1
