A very good friend of mine was hired right out'a high school in Nevada by the "last of the great brown bear men" on Kodiak to guide and take care of the ole cannery communications that was one of their base camps. Never was there before, was dropped off and I forget which one meant him there and he was told to take care of stuff and they would be back when ever........what a experience he had for a long long time. So you will have a great time. Do not eat seal liver :-( no matter how hungry U R. Have fun! Be safe.

Never saw a mink when I lived there. Beaver, fox and otter were plentiful. Supposedly a very few marten, and some ermine.

Winter fishing from shore will be poor. Flounder and greenling. If you have access to a skiff, you can find rockfish and maybe ling cod.

https://www.alaskatrappers.orgHot off the press a brand new book on Kodiak written by Darrel Farmen who many of you probably know. Order one from the (green colored) Alaska Trappers Association banner at the top of the page.
you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out.

If you can at all do it, buy the nonresident hunt/trap combo license, but wait until January 1st to do it since non-resident licenses are on a calendar year basis. You most likely won't have to travel very far (like on foot) from the lodge to satisfy your trapping urge. Have you talked to the lodge owner about trapping; There is a good possibility they may be very supportive of trapping some of the critters around the lodge; particularly otters. On the other hand they may have some "pet" foxes around that they prefer not be trapped. Tourists love watching foxes but they can be a real PITA at times too.

Watch for Bears on Kodiak. Not all bears hibernate on the island
Water is good for two things, Floating Ships and making Beer.
