Kuiu Island spring bear
It’s true, our original transporter went under. We used Nordic (amphib 185) and Scott Newman (beaver) both excellent pilots and aircraft out of petersburg. Very good pricing to where we flew, 1020$ one way for beaver, 600$ for 185 -
Kuiu Island spring bear
Hey! Awesome bears and pics! Congrats! This is “wife” went off about caribou hunt in one of the caribou posts but happy to fill in any questions. I remember you guys were still in the process of picking a transporter. We just took our basic camp gear plus bear fence. I bought Justin some fancy... -
Kuiu Island spring bear
Raft is a Pristine Ventures (Larry Bartlett) pioneer x-stream. Frame is custom by a guy who lives near us, Montana Raft Frames (totally modular, packs great on mules too). Topped it with a suzuki 2.5hp. Pretty happy with the setup, we were able to cover a 14 mile spread and easy to deal with in... -
Kuiu Island spring bear
Kuiu was amazing. Late spring/bad winter meant bears were just popping on the tidal flats. Got to look at alot of bears, many were badly rubbed. We both tagged 19"+. Raft/frame/motor were a pain to fly up there but were ideal for cruising bays. Southeast AK never dissapoints. -

Shipping meat and antlers from alaska
Sure, I stripped and split them in AK, covered tips with garden hose, wrapped in bubble wrap and took as baggage home. My taxidermist sent them to an outfit in North Dakota I think? There was a base price of 100$ and then it was like .90 cents and inch? And it was a 400” bull so somewhere around... -
Shipping meat and antlers from alaska
Our experience has been that caribou shed end of August, early Sept. We’ve stripped ours taken during this time because it just wasn’t attached well anymore. We got fake velvet applied on one and it looks sweet but expensive. Fairbanks fur tannery does a good job of freeze drying and shipping -
Kuiu Island spring bear
They do have freakishly large skulls. Just looked back at all our hides and they sure look good. Haven’t heard about the paw thing going to have to keep an eye out. Ours bears here in MT certainly get can badly rubbed in the late spring but it seems like it’s usually their butts and foreheads... -
Kuiu Island spring bear
Looking forward to it, our mainland hides have been awesome and our late May/very early June hides off POW have been good too -
Kuiu Island spring bear
I’ve had real bad luck drawing POW, my husband is 100% in AK spring bear draws in the last 6 years -
Kuiu Island spring bear
Bummer don’t give up, we’ve had our kid up to POW twice when he was 2 and 3, stayed in a nice cabin in Thorne bay and had a blast with him on sandy beach and out on the boat and on the ferry and float plane. -
Kuiu Island spring bear
Our mainland and pow spring bears have been great, we’ve always hunted before June 1. Bears were clearly using tide flats exclusively. Had some fall pow bear from a friend and yea, that was nasty.
