Chichagof Island mid November

[AkReaper]

Going to stay at the Kook Lake cabin for a week mid November. I haven't been before but the guys I'm going with have been there 1 or 2 times. Any insight, advice, tips?

TIA

Bring your rain gear, the real kind, not the stuff that supposedly "breathes". And be prepared to stay longer than planned. Have fun, some nice country there if the rain gives you a break.

I use HH Impertech hoping that'll keep me dry enough

Anyone know what the black bear situation is like here? I know there's quite a bit of brownies there.

There are no black bears just coastal brown bears.(the real big ones) Look into getting a bicycle in there it would greatly open up your hunting area I have hunted that area with a bike and even if you have to push it you can haul multiple deer on it down the road. Do not forget a grunt call everybody blows on a bleat call but I have had great success with a grunt call I use a old wooden Lohman duck call and lightly grunt thru it you can also use to scrape on a tree sounds weird but it works for me.

Yup, no black bears on the ABC (Admiralty, Baranof, Chichagof) islands. The brownies will likely still be out and about so be careful when calling, gutting and hauling deer.

Budget time for travel delays on both ends.
