Kodiak island blacktail

[Onthehnt365]

Good morning, Has anyone done a Kodiak island trip (south side of the island) that would be willing to give a little help. We are doing a boat based trip in mid October out of old harbor and the transporters say not being guides that they can’t help with the hunt which I get that they have to say that but I would really rather not fully rely on them, been doing research and have only found guys talking about the north side. Anyone have any pointers on a bay or direction to start with leaving from old harbor. Thank you

they should be able to give the normal areas the boat hunts. It will also be greatly dependent on weather where the boat is and if they can get you off the boat daily. I would expect they hunt the bays south of old harbor

They are only going to bring you where they can go with a boat and that's going to depend on the weather. Maybe people will pm you, but I hope they don't blast bay names on here.

Look at land status first. Lots of native land where you’re headed.

Other than that pick a bay. There are plenty of deer in each. Yes it’s that simple

You won’t have much say at all. Boats are slow and cost a lot in fuel. Pretty much I bet they will just go to normal spots and drop you off for the day.

In October just be ready to climb up from salt to where you can glass for deer. They will be higher than the late November snow and rut hunts.

At least that way the pack out will be down hill. But you should plan on being in good shape so you can go higher if needed.

Think of the boat more of as a place to sleep out of the weather and bears
