Was it a bad weather season or an unusual spawning season this year? I usually check up on the Kodiak and a few Peninsula brown bear guides and success seems down overall and or spotty at best. I know Mileur and Braendel and Kroneberger did well on Kodiak but no postings of much from anyone else. I checked Henry Tiffany's outfit on the peninsula and he didn't mention even killing one bear outta like 4 hunters. I know Phil and Cabot did very well but was the season a bust for most outfitters?
The Alaska pen season is almost a month earlier than Kodiak. Braendel has one tag to fill for his fall, kronberger only two. The silver run on Kodiak this year was off. I had zero silvers in my rivers, pinks were in early then gone and so were the bears. I did hear Kodiak did not take any 28” heads this past season. Grass was very very tall from a summer of rain. Which makes visibility tough. Fall Kodiak is the lesast successfull of the two Kodiak seasons. Spring has a better success.
I hunted with Munsey's in Spiridon on Kodiak Island. Saw plenty of bears and the silvers were running in that area. Took a bear that measured just over 10' square (10'6" x 9'7"). Just stopped by Animal Artistry in Reno to check out progress and the bear looks good.
I was amazed to see Silvers spawn in the rivers the first week of December. But it was my first trip to Kodiak and I had never heard of salmon running that late anywhere.

There’s one road system Stream that has a late push of silvers way out there by pasagshak that I’ve seen fish in even when the stream starts to almost in December. It’s weird how some places get fish and others don’t and at Different times.
