Kodiak Island'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, Alaska.
 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 Kodiak Island 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 Island. 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. Kodiak Island
blacktail deer 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".
