Does it get crowded out on Kodiak? How many hunters would a guy like Rohrer take on a 10 day hunt?

Rohrer has a very good area in that it actually accesses three hunt areas from one camp (East Arm, Uganik Bay, which locals call Mush Bay). IIRC he gets to market three spring tags for the main area, three more for Mush Bay/Uganik Lake, and two for the head of South Arm. I think he gets one less in each for fall tags.

You must have a signed guide contract to apply for the hunt so you, as a non-resident, have a 100% chance of being drawn. Residents may go for years without drawing...

The actual hunt is any 15-day stretch the hunter chooses from April 1 to May 15... It is always a gamble as to which is best and weather tends to trump all.

It looked like Dick had two hunters when we saw him, but we only saw him well away from his base camp and there may have been a lot more hunters in camp.

The hunt area is huge however... we were just competing for the best seat in the theater...

Actualy,Pam at the lodge told us about watching a bear catch a swimming deer and tearing it up in front of them. I think they are not a significant predator on deer, especially when fish and berries are timely.

The only thing better (from the armchair, anyway) than a good bang-flop yarn is a good bang, not-so-flop yarn which turns out well. Sort of "added-value".

With pictures. smile

Excellent tale Art!

Got to make that trip one of these days.

Probably a bad time to advertise an old A-Bort in the classifieds. wink

Thanks for that, and congrats. Be thankful the cannery wasn't a honey distributor. You boys'd never hear the end of that...

A stainless lefty in 300WinMag no less. I'll clean it up, and trip it next time home. I'd hate to have it stolen, and get sued by the thief.

Now if someone pays good money for it...

It is at Knight's and I seriously hope they do a decent job... Jeff is still on the bubble for a rug versus life-size.

Last time I saved a set of paws for a Chinese guy and the cook said they were very sweet and he was sure the bear had LOTS of honey... Yeah, I suppose that is honey to a bear when salmon rots to the point of dripping...

Heard about one left in a rig and the rig got broken into. When the guy looked for his A-Bort he found two...
