Ruffedgrouse: Great news your success and using such a "classic" Rifle in such a "classic" caliber!
And that one shot kill deserves a bravo as well.
BRAVO!
I have been to Kodiak Island twice (fishing for giant Salmon and touring) - it is a strange (different?) place.
In our tourings we did come across some of these giants tracks in the snow but we never saw one - lots of Mt. Goats and Fox and Deer though - even saw some Buffalo there and some Elk on nearby Afognak Island.
Every few years I dream of Hunting a "Kodiak" with one of my pre-64 Winchester Model 70's in 375 H&H Magnum but the "collector" in me wakes me up and chastises me for even thinking about using one of these mint perfect 375's on a Hunt in that harsh climate/terrain.
Thanks for sharing and many happy returns of the day.
Hold into the wind
