The finest Blacktail Deer hunt in Alaska just keeps getting better! This outfitter is constantly trying to improve his hunts using past experiences and suggestions from the clientele. These improvements include Saturday departures, direct flights to the boat, a diesel furnace, more gear storage, and many others. They thank the clients for their suggestions and help in making this hunt even better. While they can not control the weather or the deer population, exceptionally mild winters have helped the herd increase rapidly and helped to keep the hunters success rate near 100%. If you have been thinking about hunting Sitka Blacktail on Kodiak, now is the time! Great hunting, large deer population and great success rate.

The Outfitter is in their 19th season on Kodiak is scheduled to begin on the last Saturday of September, with hunts starting each Saturday through early December. Hunts begin in Kodiak on Saturday mornings with chartered flights directly to the boat located at the south end of Kodiak Island in the Olga Bay area, we prefer to keep the boat on site in protected waters and fly you right to where the action is. They do not allow proxy hunting on these hunts.
