    Oregon spring bear

    Weather has been tricky so far. I’m going to try a lot more as the weather gets better but the days I’ve been able to go it’s been rainy and windy and I haven’t seen much.

    Anyone getting bears yet?

    Hunting Sw Oregon again this year after a fun season last year. Curious for those who are seeing multiple bears a night in Oregon are you looking at multiple cuts or just a really big one? Most I’ve seen is 2 in one night and normally just see one a night. Is the key a really good vantage spot...

    Rokslide 2021 Youth Photo Contest, sponsored by Western Edge Gear

    In hindsight I should have snapped the picture with the beautiful bay behind me, but was way more worried about a brown bear popping out of the grass. Testicle free Blacktail taken late October.

    2022 boat based hunt out of Old Harbor

    Hunted out of old harbor the last week of October. Great deer numbers, but be prepared because the mature bucks are probably not going to be down low. Be prepared to hike to the top of the mountains to get into the nicer deer. Weather was great for 3 days of our 5 day trip and we had to fly out...

    Youth on Kodiak?

    If you are in shape enough to pack out a deer plus all your gear, then you should be fine. Not too hard until you get a deer down away from the boat or camp etc.

    Zamberlan boot purchase for Kodiak Blacktail

    I hunted end of October, they need to be waterproof and insulated or you will be miserable. And bring waterproof gaiters too. Walking through the mess that kodiak ground is I stepped up to my knee In a hidden pocket of water. Just have to be careful there.

    Who’s doing Kodiak 2021

    Huge fan of the scouting program and glad I worked and earned my eagle. Good on you for helping the kids down a brighter future and I am sure making lots of memories.

    2021 blacktail bucks

    Old Harbor Kodiak blacktails. Velvet deer had no testicles so he stays in velvet. Awesome time in the hardest terrain I have ever walked through. 400 yard shot on the velvet deer and it took 90 minutes to get to him crossing the alder choked creeks.
