Kodiak Boat Based Hunt Recommendation - Kodiak Pursuit Charters

[fatbacks]

Went on another boat based Kodiak hunt in Mid-November. We booked a few years back but the boat sold recently to new owners. We ended up being the first trip for the new owners. Was a little hesitant but went anyway. Cole and Beaux with Kodiak Pursuit Charters were top notch and made for an awesome trip. This was my 5th boat based trip in Kodiak and they are as a good as it gets.

If anyone is considering it, don't wait. It is a total safari. We could have filled all our deer tags on day one. You can also get into some world class waterfowl, fox hunting, goats if you're a resident and some good fishing.

If anyone is interested in a 2025 hunt I think they still have a few weeks available. I think they're about $3k per person with 6 on the boat for a week trip.

Great to hear! I’ll be hunting goats with Cole and Beaux in March! They’ve been great to coordinate with.

Looks badass! This was gonna be my next AK hunt until they reduced the Non-rez to 1 deer. I get that it needed to be done, but it turned off a few of my buddies who wanted to go. 5kish to shoot a blacktail made them back out. Do you have any pictures of the bucks?

If anyone was looking for another guy to fill a boat in 2026 I may be interested.

I’ve been on the same boat twice for spring goats. It’s a blast!!

Does the boat depart from kodiak? Or do you have to fly to the other side of the island?

I hear you. I feel spoiled on this trip with a pocket full of tags… 3 deer, 2 goat and an empower goose tag.

Not gonna post my buddies photos up without their permission. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of my buck. I shot both a buck and a doe on day one with my bow never recovered the buck. First animal I haven’t recovered. Seemed to be a nice pass-through shot in the boiler room Pouring blood out for a few hundred yards. Blood trail just stopped as he went into a thicket of raspberry bushes. Three guys looked for quite some time and couldn’t find him

Ya, I’ve done winter goats a couple times camping on the beach and then had to cancel my spot on the boat in 2021 for a family emergency. Excited to finally have a redo. I think it’s one of the coolest hunts in AK. Best way to break up winter.

I know it's a little controversial, but what time of year do you guys typically think is the better time to go? I have had a couple guys tell me winter with snow on the ground is better and others say complete opposite.
