[AK NIMROD]

FIRST WEEK OF NOV WILL BE A GREAT TIME FOR DEER.
SITKA IS ON BARANOF ISLAND THERE ARE LOTS OF BROWN BEAR....BE CAREFUL HAVE A BIG CALIBER GUN. ALOT BIGGER THAN YOU MIGHT USE FOR DEER USUALLY. I WILL BE ON CHICHAGOF ISLAND JUST NORTH OF YOU THE WEEK AFTER, HUNTING DEER AND BROWN BEAR WITH A FRIEND . NO BLACK BEAR ON ANY OF THE ABC ISLANDS.
SITKA IS A GREAT AREA LOTS OF SHRIMP , CRABS AND FISH. SHOULD BE TONS OF WATERFOWL. COUPLE GUYS I WORK WITH LIVE THERE OR WERE RAISED THERE THEY HUNT DEER EVERY YEAR DOWN THERE AND DO GREAT.
HAVE VERY GOOD RAIN GEAR. AND NO COTTON CLOTHES. CALF HIGH RUBBER BOOTS WOULD ALSO BE A GREAT IDEA. IT COULD RAIN ALOT A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH WE GOT 4" RAIN / DAY. THAT IS WHEN THE BOAT OR CABIN WITH A HEATER IS WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD.

GOOD LUCK PAT
