Flying out may 4 th to take some nice bears and do some fishing :fishin:
Hoping to keep it under 2k but we will see. In to it about 1K sofar and I have not even left yet :chuckle:
Its going to be my first trip to hunt Alaska and I hope not my last.
Our hopes are to go down to Dall ISland and look for them trophy bears hanging there, but that will all depend on the weather. If the weather is to rough, then it may be to risky to make the trip to the island, so lets hope for some good weather come May :tup:

May 5 could be too early on the timing, just depends on the weather up there in general the last two weeks in may and first week of june will be the best hunting

This winter has not been very harsh in SE Alaska this year and have heard that bears are starting to pop out of hibernation.

May 5 - 15 will be perfect. It is the perfect time for bear numbers and quality of hides. The grass will be coming up pretty good by then, but the woods won't be green enough that the bears have moved off the beaches. The clear cuts will also produce, but my money is 95% on the beach that time of year. Another bonus for people who are hunting up in the Petersburg area is that all the guides are in the meat of their brown bear season during that time, so you don't have to compete with them. Try your best to hold out for a boar, the reason its switching to a draw for NR unguided hunters is the large number of sows they harvest. Have a great time! For me the definition of spring is long warmish evenings with bears grazing on the beach like cows.
