Yeh.. The snakes can be a little annoying. I'm good as long as I see them first. The worst experiences for me have been copperheads while squirrel hunting in Louisiana... Had a couple of close calls...shotguns work great on 'em, though... Probably would've traded for a bear a time or two, lol
Really looking forward to experiencing the brown bears in Kodiak. I've followed black bears in the woods in Tennessee...Ran up on a momma and two cubs in the Smokey's once.She wasn't happy about it, either. She gave me the look, and I gave her the whole park...backed out slowly, made sure she was ok with that, and scooted on back to the jeep. I realize that the browns are a whole different critter, but you've gotta respect 'em all.
Be prepared for some really grueling hunting. The weather will be bad on most days in Spring and Fall during hunting season They're up high in some very vertical terrain and very spooky. You can't really use an ATV or anything like that because the noise will clear them for miles. You have to do it on foot - pack in from sea level up to a high valley or ridge and then spot and stalk from there. You can't bait and they don't really have a territory (at that time of year) or habits you can use to set up a blind as you would with deer. You have to just spot them and try to stalk in, and they cover ground a lot faster than you can. Still, there's plenty of them so if you're persistent and in good shape you'll eventually connect.
I'll be as ready as I can be...just being out there will be a thrill in itself...beautiful country, beautiful animals. No doubt...it'll be a challenge...one worthy of many memories, and stories, I'm sure...Thanks for the heads-up, Kodiak.
