I went to Larsen Bay on the 10th and returned on the 15th. I was hunting with Kodiak Charters again. Weather was not real good. Lots of rain and wind was keeping the deer brushed up but I saw deer everyday.
The afternoon of the 10th I hiked up the trail from the Larsen Bay airport and I had shot opportunities at two different little spike bucks that I did not take.
On the 11th I had the boat drop me off across the bay. As I was still hunting my way up the hill I seen the alders moving about 30 yards down the hill from me. It was a buck rubbing on them. I gave him a little grunt and he started coming my way. It was looking like he was going to cross an opening just below me that would give me a 15 yard shot. I was getting ready for that shot and just before he got there he turned and came right towards me stopping at about 7 yards giving me a slightly quartering to shot. I took the shot and it looked good a complete pass through right where I wanted to hit. The deer ran  past me stopping at about 10 yards. I was getting ready to shoot him again but he trotted up the hill about 30 yards and went down.

When I went to pickup my arrow there was a second buck in the alders at about 20 yards that I could have got a shot at. One deer is all I can carry at one time and it is not a real good idea to leave a deer and come back to it later on Kodiak so I let him walk.
After I got the deer quartered up and loaded into my pack I set down to eat a sandwich before heading back to the beach. While I was eating it I had another buck come by and stop at about 15 yards once again I let him walk. Then when I got my pack on and was just getting ready to start back to the beach here comes another buck down the hill. It was a busy morning.
About an hour later I was back at the beach with the deer.
