HUNT REPORT
TRIP TAKEN: Kodiak Island DIY Blacktail Hunt
CONSULTANT: Kyle Hanson
November, 2023
I would rate this hunt two ways based on communication with the owners, and the actual staff for the hunt itself.
Overall I was satisfied with the ownership for communicating and coordinating things and answering questions, but they could do a little more to communicate sooner about the hunt and what to expect.
Some communication about connecting flights with the air transport from Kodiak to Old harbor would have been helpful to better know what to expect. I got this information by reaching out to others and doing my own research and someone who has never done an Alaska hunt would not likely know to ask these questions.
I would also like to see a simpler way to have paid for the remainder of the trip, sending a check was inconvenient since it is so rarely used nowadays.
I would give an excellent rating to the boat Captain and the cook.
The cook was pulled in last minute to cover for someone else and did a fantastic job. Our Captain was excellent with the large boat, running us to shore in the skiff, discussing plans for each day based on weather conditions and facilitating a first class experience. They were great to spend a week on the boat with and I would absolutely request them again.
Our group all killed bucks and caught fish and had a great time.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
