[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 2922460, member: 47425"] Depends on your goals? If you would be happy with an 8fter, yes, but you don't sound like you would be to me. 9ft ers seem to be the norm and goal for Kodiak hunts with the occasional going 10' and up. To me, no different than deer or elk hunting. If you really want a 190 Mule deer or a 320" Elk and you shoot a 180 or a 300 respectively, then you have no one to blame but yourself as if you have shot one of those then you are NOT going to get your goal. eg. a few yrs back I passed on day 3 a solid mid 180s gorgeous, (low 170s is the biggest I have ever taken) perfectly symmetrical Muley looking for a 190+ Same trip I also passed on day 4 a low to mid 190s non-typical. Last 2 days - day 6 and 7 I spent looking for him and guess what I came home with? Empty coolers. But, I was and am fine with that as I wanted a 190 and nothing less. One day! [/QUOTE]
