Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I wonder how the fall bear hunters a doing down their? COLD/WET/MISSERABLE/VERY LITTLE DAYLIGHT. Desperately attempting to convince themselves this is fun, and attempting to block out the cost in dollars to enjoy this experience they have dreamed about for decades.
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

[quote=79S]I Well okay then…. Have you spent much time there in the fall......?? It is like being in prison in purgatory. You are unsure whether to self-abort or pray for premature extraction. In the end you don't care.

[quote=79S]I Well okay then…. Have you spent much time there in the fall......?? Well, considering I work at the dump live in a old camp trailer that was giving to me most times my meals are what I scrounge out of the dump because I get paid $12.22 an hour. Rent and power, medical takes most of pay so in short I never been to kodiak.. But I did go to Denali park one time with my foster parents.. Oddly enough, they had cps pick me up their and I ended up in boys home in Fairbanks..

I hunted Kodiak for two weeks one time and it only rained twice! Once for five days and once for nine days!

I used to think that this was the best time of year to go to Kodiak, now it seems like everyone else has started thinking the same way. Oct. is a zoo down there anymore.

Late November is even more miserable. Less daylight, colder and windier. Just the way Alaskan hunters like it 🎭

Hunted Blacktails on Kodiak most every year we lived in Alaska starting in the late 1980’s. Usually during the last half of November. Made a lot of great memories from those hunts. Especially the hunts when it was just my son and myself. We stayed in my 10x10 Arctic oven and heated it with a lantern and wood stove. Rain, wind, LOTSs of wind, and snow were just part of the hunt.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I have a friend trying to elk hunt on Etolin and had a hell of a time just getting there. Stuck in Juneau for 2 days, then stuck in Ketch. I never did hear if he got to Etolin.

Don't let these negative Nancys fool you. Kodiak is just like this year round.

Probably one of the worst stretches we have had at the end of Oct that I can remember. It’s been downright horrible and that’s saying a lot for se ak.
