Kotz

Hi Guys:

I have lived in Kotz for almost 10 years and I know lots of locals. The average local guy uses a boat and shoots them in the water crossing the river. A .22 works fine. I like the spot and stalk method which is seen as “White Man” hunting and foolish by most here because it is not efficient, but I just cant shoot them swimming the river. It’s cool to be boating and see 2-300 animals swimming the river! It’s like a geographic moment! I have taken lots of really big bou and some really nice moose as well.

NW Alaska is truly a gem for guys like us who likes to hunt and fish! I have fishing stories and photos that would make you cry! We catch Char, Dolly, Pike and Sheefish up here that are just huge!

I am switching over or adding a .243 next year and I am excited to give it a try, it for my son who went on his first bou hunt last fall at age 10. He is ready and it will be fun.

Thanks for the input!
