When are you going? I lived/hunted the island for six years.

Depending on where and what animal you are chasing will determine your terrain. I would go with gear that will withstand rain,snow and wind. If you are not prepared properly your trip can become a survival situation quickly. I love that place!!!!!

The caribou are hit and miss on the island because there are not that many . I would definitely be prepared for wet and possibly cold weather. I have seen some good snow storms around the end of October. Good luck

I spent a summer on kodiak. One thing I will tell you is there are LOTS of bears. We actually were bluff charged by one. :yike: the terrain seemed pretty steep but I spent all of my time in larsen bay so my experience is limited.

Congrats man!!  You should have a great hunt that's for sure!  It was a blast when I went on the hunt with him in Quebec, and I am sure you'll anchor some animals in AK.  I hope you're in shape, he'll literally run you in to the ground.  Keep us all posted! 

Here's a couple pics from my hunts success to get you amp'd up a lil more!

You don't live to far away from me.  We could always meet at the ram in South hill or something and have a couple beers and talk about it too!  :tup:  Feel free to give me a call anytime.

Getting anxious yet????  Have fun!  Make sure to take several flash drives to get copies of the raw video (if they'll let you) so you can have all the footage forever and not just the edited stuff for tv.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!
