2020 Kodiak Island: A Sitka Blacktail Adventure
« on: August 26, 2020, 05:13:14 PM »
Ok guys...

This one is LONG.

16 pages, over 9000 words.  As such, it’s easiest to post a link to the blog write up!  Enjoy.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Outstanding.  A great quote: "As most of you know (through frustratingly familiar experience), finding individuals who show up on a regular basis for a hunt can be an intimidating task in and of itself."

Doorstep to doorstep it was about 2400-2800$ which takes into account a free airline ticket using miles with Alaska and three guys to split the cost of a beaver.
