Tons of Kodiak Hunters!!!!

Was wondering why there are always a lot of kodiak hunters on the big auction and hardly ever any super kodiaks.

I assume it's a matter of simple economics.  

Lower purchase price = more units purchased  

Look how many grixzzlies there are out there.  Touted as the "working man's bow".  Everybody had/has one.

I know a lot of collectors dont care much for that kodiak hunter but i really like them. The first Bear bow i purchased was a 67 kodiak hunter and for sure thats one reason i like them so much.

Tne '67 was the best Kodiak Hunter ever made.  All downhill from there.

I have my 68 since 1969, gift from my dad.  Good shooter and killed many deer with it.

Although the Kodiak Hunter is a solid bow, it is doubtful it will ever reach the collector status of the earlier Kodiaks.
Why do you see more of them at auction?? They probably sold 10:1 or more, of the Supers, so there are just more of them out there, like Trap said.
If I could only have one bow, and had a 67-71 Kodiak Hunter,, I could live with it,, Just never bonded with the Greenies. although I've had a couple and they shoot OK.

You'll also see tons of Kodiak Magnums listed...must have been a slew of them made and sold.

In the early 70s I remember the local Bear dealer had scads of bright green bows. Since the Super Kodiak was never a greenie, they must have had the production line cranking out very high numbers of K-hunters and K-mags.

I wondered then if anybody really preferred the fake green color over natural wood.

There were also a bunch of rainbow colored mag risers and the red-white-and-blue 76ers and target bows.
