- Hunt Description
-
The rainforest of Southeast Alaska offer superb hunting for Sitka Blacktail Deer. We have early season
hunts which take place above the tree line in high alpine country as well as late season hunts in both
the timber and muskegs. Most hunts are fly outs and take place on Prince of Wales Island. August and
September alpine hunts offer the chance for good weather with bucks feeding in the lush vegetation
offered at this time of the year.
Some bucks may still have velvet on the antlers and sleeker reddish colored summer coats. Late October
and November presents our bucks looking their best with heavy winter coats, thick necks, and polished
antlers. During this time we will hunt lower elevations and use calls as the deer are in the rut.
All deer hunts offer the opportunity to combine fresh or saltwater fishing, Black bear, and waterfowl
if you wish to extend your visit.
