Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Kodiak

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.

Aren’t you a ray of sunshine.

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.

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.

Thinking of doing a deer hunt down there with Jake Jefferson.

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.

Yeah, moose season sucks. Hunting 18 hours a day.... I took naps.

Been a rough week here in Kodiak. Gusting up to 55 and now it can't decide whether to rain or snow

Wind is going straight from Kodiak to me. 36ft seas on the outside tomorrow. Weather has sucked and this last week.

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.

Calvin, Windy is a great app how do you post a pic from the app? How we played this summer 57 straight days of rain we went wherever there was a break for a couple of hrs. Using the Windy app.

Screenshot off a phone.

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.

Yes
