That sounds frigid! This is excellent advice. I will look into this. I will be staying with Calder Mtn Lodge and from what I understand they take very good care of their boats and motors but I will certainly come prepared. Any advice on what to have in the kit?
Muskeg,
This is the information I have been looking for! I will study the tide book til I'm sick of it. Your advice about big bors in twilight got me thinking about what I would need to stay warm and dry over night up there. Luckily, the nights are short that time of year! I think if I feel...
I will be renting an 18 ft aluminum boat with a larger outboard on it. I imagine they will give me some direction on how to avoid a SNAFU. I appreciate your input! Thanks!
Headed to hunt black bear on Kupreanof Island in May. Will be staying at Calder Mtn Lodge. I will be hunting them by boat and by foot. This is my first time hunting tidal waters and my greatest concerns on this hunt are understanding how to anchor the boat and making sure it STAYS PUT when going...
David, I will be hunting the same way and staying at the same place 3rd week of May of 2021. I would like to talk to you about your experience if you don't mind?
Awesome! I have heard the afternoon low tide is where its at for highest bear activity. I hope to catch some halibut while my brother and I are up there. Never fished for them. I hear jigging is a popular way to catch em.
Dandy bear! I will be hunting Kupreanof May 2021. Which island were you hunting? Did you hunt all day or did you fish in the mornings and then hunt? Im guessing tide flats at low tide in the afternoon were a target for you?
Thanks! Like many other hunt talkers before us, my bro and I will be staying at Calder Mtn Lodge. May 17-24. It’s our first time up there so logistically it made sense to stay at the lodge.
Wow! Any alpine deer is a trophy and well earned after making the long grueling slog through that under brush. Well done and thanks for sharing your pics and experience!
Kupreanof Black Bear tags for my brother and I! First time drawing an out of state tag and we are both stoked to visit AK for the first time and finally see first hand what Randy has shown in his videos!
