Did a similar trip a few years back. Flew into Anchorage and rented a car and headed down the Sterling Hwy to Homer. Rented a small cabin and went fishing the next day and caught salmon and halibut until our arms were sore. We then headed over to Seward for some whale watching and glacier viewing.
I hunt public and private. This came off a private piece. I'm aware of the piece you are referring to and it is way overpriced IMO. 2K+ for swamp land. I know the marsh by that piece really well and it does hold sika, but not what I'd call a prime piece.
I use various calls for them including...
Glad they don't get as big as their Western cousins. Just as tasty though.

Thanks Paul. I agree, I figured once he left he wasn't coming back. Most of the calling sequence i left out for time's sake. I found your app to be quite helpful while practicing my calling this summer.

Just got back from an incredibly challenging week in Idaho that somehow worked out in my favor. Temps were hot, there were lots of hunters (some on ATVs where they shouldn't have been:mad:), and the bulls just weren't talking day or night.
Just like last year, I managed to pull a 6X6 out of the...
I guess I'm in the same boat. I filled out the 4473 in the store, but didn't expect there to be any glitches as there hasn't been any in the past. I'm just fully expecting WM to not honor that price or sell the gun in the interim.
