Kodiak Island is hunting paradise!  Kodiak holds a healthy population of trophy Sitka black-tailed deer.  The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) estimates there are 80,000 deer on Kodiak Island.  Both, resident and non-residents are allowed 3 deer of either sex per year.  This is a great hunt for one of the most beautiful deer in North America.  Our Kodiak hunting camp is only 20-minute flight from the city of Kodiak.  Hunts are primarily spot-and-stalk after a short hike up the mountainside above the alders and below the snow-line, glassing open areas for mature bucks in rut.  While other hunters choose to hunt from elevated strategic position on ridges over looking drainages, funnel areas, and open meadows.  During mid-October, snow tends to push many deer off the mountains into the lower hills and beaches.  For non-hikers, it's best to book a later hunt so you can stay down low on the beach and quietly wait for the deer to come to you.  Sitka Black-tailed bucks come into rut and begin chasing doe’s late October, with the peak rut being mid-late November.  A mature Sitka black-tailed buck weighs 150 to 200 pounds when field dressed and can sport an impressive set of antlers.  The opportunity to collect a trophy Sitka black-tailed deer makes for a great hunting experience.  Typical daily schedule:  Each day clients will begin with a hearty breakfast, then they are off to hunt around our camp or transported by boat to a choice location.  Clients will be given a box lunch, snacks, beverages and hunt in pairs or as a group.  At the end of the day, your hunting party will be transported back to camp to a warm fire place where a delicious meal awaits you.  Sharing your stories with us will be the highlight of our day.  Method of take is your choice (rifle, archery or muzzle loader).  Besides Sitka black-tailed deer, Kodiak offers sea duck hunting, fox hunting, and sport fishing.  Sport Fishing:  You can go fishing for Halibut, Ling cod, Black rockfish, and salmon.  Sport fishing license and King stamp are required.  Daily fee is required for fishing.  Sea Duck Hunting:  Bring your shotgun for sea ducks. Ducks include:  Harlequin, Golden Eye, Old Squaw, Bufflehead, red breasted and common mergansers.  Puddle ducks include: mallard, pintail, widgeons, green wing teal, gadwalls, and many more.  Hunting license, Alaska waterfowl stamp and Federal migratory bird hunting and conservation stamp are required.  Daily fee is required for duck hunting.  Fox Hunting:  Kodiak Island has three color phases of red fox (Red, Cross and Black, also referred to as Silver).  Your hunting license will cover fox hunting (limit is 2 foxes) and there is no additional charge.
