I was fortunate to draw the unimak tag for this spring and will be heading down there in May. I already have everything lined up and will be doing a fly in drop off hunt. A friend that has some experience on the island warned me of the wind, he said he is still in search of the right tent.
I believe the best I have found would be the slingfin Arctic 6 which is the same as the large stone glacier that’s never in stock but the price may be out of the zone of what I am willing to pay. Also considering the Cabela’s Alaska guide tent. Hoping someone with some experience there or on the peninsula in high wind could give me some tent recommendations?

This will be my first dedicated brown bear hunt and though I have been around some Kodiak bears and interior grizzlies my other concern is that I will get excited and shoot a bear smaller than I am hoping for with the tag.
