Kodiak - Raspberry Island - Getting to know the place
I would be happy to chat with you about our experience up there and what we learned to do and not to do. We made some great local contacts as well that where a big help. Pm me when you get enough points to do so. Seeth got a nice bull up there and is a way more experienced elk hunter than we are... -

Yeah his son was with him it was a heart attack. We where talking to another guy who watched the whole thing through his spotting scope then went over and was talking to the guys son. It's a terrible thing and really brings the remoteness into perspective. -

You can't fly into the high country. The whole island is 8' tall raspberry bushes and brush also you are ether going up or down with nearly every step lol. Bluffgruff is 100% correct, we had 5 on our crew last year and lost 2 days of hunting because the tag holder threw out his back getting a... -

Birch also does just transport if you are thinking of doing it "on your own" and as Seeth said if you are doing the spike out thing try to get up to about 800-1000 ft to set up ypur base camp. But you should get set up so you can pm me I have some other info I'm happy to share with you as far... -

I know I will post something after the hunt on how it went and any info we gather that might help others in the future. I'm betting seeth will do the same. This will be our first elk hunt ever so it will be interesting. We applied for the tags more as a way to lock all of our group into... -

Seeth I actually spoke to the biologist up there and he said to me "you may get one to respond but it is highly unlikely they will come to a call since it will be post rut" so we are debating on if we should bring one or not. -

A little humour for your day
Haha. At Christmas at my brother's house one year my grandmother asked my brother if she should put some soda and stuff in the fridge in the garage and my niece about 3 at the time out her hands on her hips and stone faced said GG that's the beer fridge. -

Seeth and his better half's 2023 outdoor adventures
Hey Seeth, I'm glad you were able to find a boat to transport you. If you wouldn't mind PMing me who you are using we would appreciate it we are still trying to figure that part out. We also thought about Birch and raspberry lodge but as you said his price for 6-7 of us was a little hard. If you...- baker6019

Yeah the $1,200 for the land use permit seems a little bit ridiculous to me we were thinking the same thing. -
