My brothers and I will be hunting Kodiak Island this fall with Ninilchik transporters (our one brother is a resident) out of the Larsen Bay and surrounding area the first part of October with the Registration 480 hunt. My hopes initially were to try for both deer and goats as the website shows past successful hunts for both but Im wondering if this is overly ambitious. Im willing to pack a tent and hike up high from the beach and spend one or maybe even two nights up there although returning to the boat each evening does sound nice as Im paying for it and its much better eating and more comfortable. We will have five days of hunting. Has anyone here done a boat based Kodiak island goat hunt. What were your thoughts? Are the goats too high up to realistically have a chance at them by day-tripping from the beach? Ive shot plenty of deer here in Montana so a goat would mean much more to me. Thanks for any input.
