A buddy and I hunted the western half of Raspberry island for 5 days at the beginning of the month and saw one doe. There wasn’t much sign either. Hopefully the situation is better further south.
I did the fall hunt on Unimak 17 years ago. It is pretty straight forward, but expensive. Ravn (and possibly Alaska Airlines on a limited basis) to Cold Bay, and then onto the island with Rod. He charges a premium price, but is also very good at flying in a very tough environment.

I wear size 16s as well. I currently switch back and forth between a Tibet and Camino. I think the Camino is more useful in 80% of applications. Lathrop has some size 16s in their house brand, as does Kenetrek. I’ve no experience with either.
It is difficult to overstate how physically demanding it is to move the hide and skull of a big bear over 10 miles of terrain on Kodiak. If you are lucky and kill a big bear, expect them to weigh well over 100lbs. Me and a buddy moved a 150 lb load of bear over 3+ mile on Unimak back when I was...
I wear a 15 in my work boots (Bellville) and athletic shoes. I use size 16 Lowa Tibets and Caminos for hunting, depending on terrain. With good aftermarket insoles and socks, the 16s lace up tight and still leave enough room for feet swelling. I used size 15 Tibets for a sheep hunt and after 4-5...

7x50 Steiner Marine binoculars. I used them on my boat for a few years to spot birds/fish. I sold the boat, so these need a new home. A very rugged optic, and would make for a good set of truck/loaner binoculars. Comes with case and original packaging.

If you are bored and want to explore the ballistic potential of long-barreled 308s, I suggest researching Palma and F-Class shooting disciplines. Competitors in these matches have explored this topic to the an extreme degree.

The above link directly to Hodgdon doesn’t address H4831SC directly, but I suspect the unfilled demand for 4350/1000/etc is causing more people to buy up 4831.
