About Outfitter

Our forest-&-fjord terrains of Afognak Island are composed of strikingly attractive moss-floored lowlands and areas up to 1,000 feet elevation, with many open meadows and gravel beaches. Our “enchanted forest by the sea”, together with our protected harbor, provides considerable shelter from foul weather. Temperatures range between 30° and 50°, both Spring and Fall. Your Hosts / Guides Josh Randall was raised and schooled in this wilderness and is an Alaskan Registered Guide. Shannon Randall has been living/hunting in and around North Afognak Island since 1968 and has been an integral part of creating and operating the lodge with her family.

Experience Overview

Embark on a self-guided trip to Afognak Island for an exciting Sitka Blacktail Deer hunting experience. These deer, smaller and stockier than other black-tail species, were transplanted from Southeast Alaska to Kodiak and Afognak Islands in the 1930s. Hunting season runs from August 1 to December 31, with November and December offering the best opportunities. You can harvest up to 3 deer alongside and duck hunting and fishing. Hunts include accommodations, meals, while unguided hunts provide comfortable lodging, meals, drop-offs, and pickups. Explore the wintering grounds of Alaska Sea Ducks, enjoy the breathtaking scenery, and savor fresh Alaskan seafood. Additionally, fishing enthusiasts can fulfill their dreams by catching enormous Pacific halibut and salmon, cod. Let us be your hosts on this unforgettable adventure.
