Thanks for sharing Ross. I'm planning a similar hunt next year but have never been to Kodiak. Do you have any "lessons learned" in terms of packing, items you wish you'd brought/left behind? That sort of thing. Any and all words of wisdom are appreciated.

I would not change much...bring the best rain gear you can and bring a spare set also....We had some very bad weather to the point we could not leave the tent even. For that a little extra battery power for ipad or other device would be useful to watch movies or e-read to pass the time.

Wow unbelievable adventure, great pics congrats on the bear.

Thanks! However as noted that bear is not mine. It was taken by another hunter the outfitter had out at same time one camp over...

Very nice indeed.
I Luv the 5 th picture of snow on the mountains. Incredible.

People don't get that there is more to hunting than the hunt. There is the scenery.!

Thanks
