Kodiak deer

[ashersdad]

My 15 yr old didn’t draw any tags this year so I decided to take him deer hunting on Kodiak. We had a great adventure. We lost three days to weather and had temperatures below zero every day. Almost lost our tent on one of the weather days, but were able to reconstruct it with branches for poles.

There was almost zero rutting activity and I thought we were going to eat our tags after several days of bad weather and no opportunities. Finally the last couple days things came together for us and we were able to take some nice bucks. We flew home just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. So thankful to be able to hunt with my two sons. Hoping to get in as much as possible before they’re off to college.

Here are some pictures from our trip.

That bear looks like it swallowed another bear... or three.
