Kodiak Island Blacktails
« on: November 26, 2012, 03:53:00 PM »
Just returned from Kodiak Island what a great trip. Used the Toelke Lynx prototype that I purchased in the classifieds from Biathlonman, Goldtip 5575 with 125gr VPA Terminators from Big Jim. Thanks guys for making this possible.

I have hunted Kodiak several times and have never had a bear encounter where I felt threatened. This trip I never even saw a bear track.

Beautiful Bucks and country!  I went to Kodiak in 2000 and did get two bucks and a doe... neither of my bucks were as big as your smaller one and we didn't see a buck as big as your bigger one... was a rough trip.

Congrats on your success and thank you for sharing it with us!  Brings back fond memories...

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.
