I would do a search on here if you have not already. There has been a few good topics about it. One was not to long ago if I remember right. I know a few guys on here have done them.
Yah there was one on here I think a little over a month ago? It had some great info

You guys will have a blast, I hunted north of the ABC last spring out of Juneau and am planning to go back again this year. Just going a week later hoping for a better green up.
just spoke to my friend on POW and said not much snow , cold weather in SE AK this year. He is already seeing bears.
Looks like might start greening up a bit earlier this year.

Heck, the locals shot the crap out of them from a bed of a dump truck at the dump. I remember they killed six in one evening. Crazy amount of bears....
3,500 dollars is not too much.

This spring is the last season that you can really hunt POW island without a guide for black bear. The guides on POW island lobbied for a got approved a rule that now requires non residents to enter a drawing for a non res bear tag and I think there will only be about 30 available. Guiding cost was about 4500 bucks for a week, maybe more now that you have to be guided. This will start this fall.
pOW island is the perfect place for a DIY hunter, easy access, lots of bears, and variety of terrain.
My 12 year old boy and I each got a nice bear last year. Can't figure out how to post the pics.

Where we hunt is going to be weather dependent :dunno:
Our goal is to get over to Dall Is. and hunt there but if the weather dont cooperate, that aint going to happen :'(
Other Wise we will be hitting the shore line on either side of the island but I think we are going to concentrate on the southern portion of the Island. 12 mile arm and Polk Inlet are a few places we have been advised to check out and we will probably work some of the Islands West of Kalwock. Don't know exactly yet, but the weather will dictate where we go.

you should be able to find someplace to go with most weather. If you have a vehicle there are many miles of roads to explore. there used to be steelhead spawning every month of the year somewhere on the island if you have the time.
We plan on doing some steelie fishing :fishin:
