Sitka Black-tailed Deer Hunting
Kodiak's
Sitka Black tail deer population is back on the climb. After a severe winter die
off in 1998 the deer numbers are beginning to explode once more! Black River
Hunting Camps has scouted a new area for deer hunts for the past two falls
with great success. The beauty of this bay and the populations of deer have
encouraged BRHC to set up a November/December fall deer camp on the
majestic shores of eastern Kodiak Island.
This
wall tent camp will be accompanied by heated six man tents, and home-style meals
which will round off an inviting atmosphere.
Hunting
these grass lands and mountain sides is mostly a glassing man’s game. Spotting
these colorful deer on the move is the best way to intercept them. The deer rut
typically begins in early to mid November and deer activity remains at its peak
until mid December. This
hunt has an extremely high success rate on the allowed 2 deer that hunters may
harvest. Your typical deer rifle will be fine for the deer on Kodiak. Your guide
will also carry a large caliber rifle for bear protection and as a precaution.
Rifle in the .24 to .45 caliber are well suited for the game. Hunters the past
two seasons have typically seen up to 2 dozen bucks on their five day hunts.
Physical
conditioning will only make your hunt more enjoyable, so be prepared for 1-3
miles of walking and climbing with a small daypack. Weather conditions can be
winter-like, with snow fall and freezing temperatures. Clients should dress in
layers to prepare for the elements. Hunts are booked for six days of hunting and
available in November and December.
| "My hunt with Jake was the hunt I dreamed it would be, I saw
so many sights that before I only saw on television. I have been
hunting Pa white tails for 45 plus years and have harvested quite a
few but none that are better than the black tail I took on Kodiak.
The area supplied daily sightings of deer and bear. The extras
sightings of eagles, sea lions, seals, otters, and foxes were a
delight. Jake's ability to place me in the right spot and point out
game was truly outstanding. His skills and personality made this my
"trip of a lifetime". I would recommend it to anyone who seeks that
hunt they only have dreamed of. Because of Jake my wall hanger will
remind me of the great time I had on Kodiak". -Bill Markley |

“I had always
wanted to hunt
Sitka black tails,
but hadn’t found a good Alaskan guide…till now! I had a great hunt
with Jake and his wife Amber; we saw tons of deer, over two dozen a
day, and the three bucks I got were exceptional deer. We also
watched bears, fox, hunted ducks, and I really enjoyed hiking the
Kodiak Mountains and watching the bucks chase the does during the
rut. Jake is a great trophy judge, and I was grateful to have both
him and his wife along to lead the way on this hunt. I hope to
return and go on a mountain goat and/or bear hunt with them soon,
and I would highly recommend Jake for a great
trophy deer hunting
experience.”
