MARSHMAN- KODIAK AND THE A.B.C. ISLANDS IN SOUTHEAST YOU COULD HUNT DEER. YOU CAN'T BAIT FOR BROWN OR GRIZZLY BUT IT IS LEGAL TO HUNT OVER A GUT PILE.....IF YOU DON'T MOVE IT FROM THE KILL SITE. ON THE AK PENINSULA YOU COULD GO FOR CARIBOU OR MOOSE. UNIT 26 UP NORTH CARIBOU AND MAYBE EVEN SHEEP. WOLF IS ALSO ANOTHER TAG YOU MAY WANT TO PICK UP. FALL HUNTS YOU ALSO CAN STILL HAVE SALMON IN THE STREAMS AND THIS HELPS CONCENTRATE BEARS IN SMALL AREAS. ONE TIME ON KODIAK IN THE FALL A FRIEND SAW 7 BROWN BEARS IN TWO HRS. TWO WERE 9 FT + BEARS. THERE WAS A STREAM WITH SILVERS IN IT VERY CLOSE TO WERE THEY WERE. IF YOU HUNT THE COASTAL BEARS I WOULD USE A .375 , A .338 WOULD ALSO BE A GOOD CHOICE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER CALIBERS THAT WILL DO THE JOB AND HAVE STOPPED THEM QUICKLY. AND SOMETIMES THE BIG CAL. DON'T DO IT FAST, BUT I LIKE THE BIGGER CAL. I HAVE A .375 AND USE THAT FOR BACK UP WHEN BROWN BEAR HUNTING( OR MY SHOTGUN), I PRIMARILY BOWHUNT. SO THINGS CAN GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.
