Potro, that was on Kodiak with a bunch of other Bowsiters. Despite being with them, it was still a great trip! :-)

I’ll be on Kodiak in October. I hope to shoot a deer, but am first going for goat.

Midwest……there seems to be a common denominator on both trips….
Good luck with the goats (and deer), Ike!

To be clear, I chose 2022 for a rut hunt due to the fact Indiana's firearm season opener falls on the earliest possible date... November 12th. Next year, Indiana bowhunters gain almost a week, with the firearms opener being November 18th.
I've hunted bear with Roark / HOC...and always figured my first Kodiak hunt would be on the Outer Limits...but the dates I needed were long gone when I checked...well over a year ago. Transporter for this hunt is Rogue Expeditions. I've never hunted with RE before, but booked the hunt based on multiple recommendations from good friends.

Im leaving for AK in less than 2 weeks…but I tore my achilles heel training with a heavy pack….. seriously hobbled up, so I will probably be doing more fishing and hunting unfortunately.

Good luck everyone. I’ll be very interested to see how everyone does and how they feel the current deer population (On Kodiak particularly) is doing. When I was there last year I felt the herd was down considerably compared to previous trips. But I also suspect that could be location dependent to a good degree too.

To be honest ... I'd rather have the numbers down. Too many deer can be a problem. Ed F
