December is really too late for blacktails. On Kodiak they start dropping antlers by about the 10th. Days are also too freaking short for much hunting. First three weeks of November are best, getting into the rut and finding good bucks.

June is one of my favorite months here. Just getting the black bears out of the dens up high and the smolt migration with the lake trout and rainbows tearing them up.

July is sockeyes...

Easy for me to get away from tourists...

December, January, and February are my three longest months...
