Sitka Deer Hunting

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

Alaska but were transplanted to the lighter rainfall area of the Kodiak & Afognak Islands circa 1930. They are smaller & stockier with a shorter face than other members of the black-tail group. With the first heavy frost, many deer in the high alpine and sub-alpine descend to the upper forests. With snowfall, usually in November & December, they move down to the coastal fringe and beaches. Rut occurs during late November. The season is between August 1 and December 31, but the best hunting is during November and December. You are allowed 3 Deer per hunter and they can be hunted at the same time as Elk, Bear and Ducks. We suggest at least a 4-day hunt but you are welcome to come for any length of time. Guided Deer hunts include all first-class accommodations, meals & all-day guiding from a cabin-cruiser. Unguided Deer hunts include all first-class accommodations & meals, with morning drop-offs & evening pickups, in productive areas. A packed-lunch is prepared for your backpack, we give you an overview of area via maps and, for your safety, we provide a hand-held 2-way VHF radio. Sitka Deer Hunts, Season: August 1 through December 31. Limit: 3 deer/hunter/year
