Destination:
The Kodiak Island Archipelago is about 177 miles long and encompasses nearly 5,000 square miles. At 3,588 square miles, Kodiak Island is the largest in the group. Two-thirds of the island consists of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. Close to 3,500 giant Kodiak brown bears make their home here, along with Sitka black-tailed deer, fox, mountain goats, reindeer, Roosevelt elk, Stellar sea lions, sea ducks, numerous whale species, salmon, crab, and halibut.
The Hunt
Hunting Sitka black-tailed deer with us will begin with a charter flight to a remote area South of Kodiak. The area is virtually un-hunted because of its remoteness and has a large deer population. By the time we hunt the area late in the year, most of the deer have moved to the low country. This area has a stable deer population that is not affected by harsh winters like those in other areas. The terrain is open grass and rolling hills; much of this part of the island can be accessed by our 4-wheelers, and hunters of all physical abilities can do this hunt. All hunters should have several opportunities at a buck between 85-100”s. Color phase red fox are plentiful and have a harvest limit of two. Days can be short in late fall, and you will leave camp at first light and return at dark.

Lodging in this fly-out hunt is cabin-based with home-cooked meals by your guide. The cabin is a pole building style with bunks and a wood stove. Warm and dry, no running water!
