The best place to hunt Sitka Deer on Kodiak Island is located on the south side of Kodiak Island is the remote native village of Old Harbor. Old Harbor boasts some of the best Sitka Black Tail deer populations in Alaska.
Our goal is to provide you with a first class hunt in remote Alaska that very few people have experienced. There is very little Kodiak deer hunting pressure in Old Harbor. The area is very remote and the mild terrain will provide you with a challenging and rewarding hunt.
Sitka Black Tail is one of the smallest species of the deer family that thrives on Kodiak Island.
Kodiak deer hunting season opens August 1, but we do not start hunting until November to mid-December and both Doe and Bucks are open. The temperature begins to drop. The snow begins to fall in the higher elevations and the deer begin to move down to the lower elevation. Bucks are beginning to gather their does and go into rut. These combined conditions make this the time of year to hunt blacktail on Kodiak Island in Alaska.
We base our hunts out of the Kodiak Sportsman’s Lodge. Each morning we will transport you to your hunting location for the days hunt. We will pick you up at a pre-designated location and return you to the lodge for a hot shower and a fantastic Alaskan meal where you can relax and share your Kodiak deer hunting stories. After you harvest your buck, you can add to your Alaskan experience by hunting fox, waterfowl or fishing for winter King Salmon and halibut.
