Didi anyone see the Bowhunter magazine show on sunday night?
I was at the in-laws flippin through the channels and landed on it. It just happened to be about bowhunting blacktails on kodiak so I decided to watch. I dont know what time of year it was, It was during the rut so maybe mid nov?, but for the first few days there was no snow, the last few days they were there it snowed like crazy and they ended up getting stuck for like a week until the pilot could come back for them. Anyway, both guys limited out, 3 good bucks each with their bows. The interesting part was the hats the guys wore while hunting. The hats looked home made and were mabe to resemble a does face and ears, almost looked like mickey mouse ears. I had to keep watching, one of the hosts said that a long time local told them about it, it seemed to attract the younger bucks, and at the same time it seemed to make the bigger bucks interested. The bigger bucks would come in close and hold some what still while these guys drew and shot their bows, it was strange but it seemed to work. Maybe the hat thing is common knowledge, but it is new to me. I am trying to put a trip together for next (07)november up there. Good luck Moosie and IB!!!
