Well it looks as if wolf will be a no go as the season doesn't open until Dec.1 and closes very late winter early spring. Bear and deer are very doable. I myself never hunt bear but as you know do enjoy deer hunting and would like to be able to help with that. I would suggest mid Sept. as a very good time for both deer and bear. The bear will be in the creeks after fish and that makes for very good hunting.The deer on the other hand will still be mostly up high and harder to find down low. I don't hunt much down low as I enjoy hiking/back packing up high where the success rate is much better. Also king salmon fishing will not be good by Sept. and silvers will be slowing down but should still be rather productive. My wife works for Catch-A-King Charters in the summer months when her kitchen job at the local school is down. And there a great bunch of guys there.Charter fishing is very expensive and as I do not own a boat my ability to help out in that area is limited. Altho with the lodge slowing down and closing around that time of year we may be able to see about putting some guys up there and getting in some fishing at a more reasonable rate. I would love to escort a few guys up into one of the alpines after deer on an over night or over a weekend deer hunt, but you must remember I run a spartan camp and it pays to be in fair to middlin' shape to make this style hunt. You don't need to be superman but still need to be a couple months from the wheel chair to get her done. As things firm up keep in touch and we'll see what we can do to help from this end,do not hesitate to ask I'll help where I can. Dennis
