SHOW NOTES
Intro: Second half of 2021 Kodiak Alaska audio journal.
Hunters: Colton & Gary Heward, Austin Brown, Shawn Skipper, Andrew Smith, Brent Neidig, and Joseph von Benedikt.
Transporter: Travis Larson, Captain of the Venturess, and crew Susan, JJ, and Garrett of Alaska Premier Sportfishing.
Audio Journal entries:
- Day three: Four big bucks down, and a late-night packout in fierce wind.
- Day four: 100-mph winds, a bucking boat, and life on the edge. Some duck hunting and an "angry Irish fish."
- Day five: A never-to-be-forgotten hunt. Seven mature bucks for seven hunters. Long, one-shot kills in high winds in steep country. Close, spur-of-the-moment shots in sheltered pockets. And a great big velvet "stag" buck.
- Interview with Travis & Susan Larson: How to prepare for Kodiak Island. What a transporter does. The difference a warm boat, comfortable bunk, and gourmet-quality food makes when hunting hard in gnarly conditions and terrain. Local knowledge, savvy, and experience. Make-it-or-break-it gear. Mental toughness and adaptability.
ENJOY!
