    2022 SE Alaska Blacktail

    Yeah, looked pretty frustrating for the guys. The fact they can get so many in such a short time says they are good, but also, there are plenty of wolves.

    2022 SE Alaska Blacktail

    POW has been getting a ton of snow so far - 18 inches over the weekend alone. The high end of the annual average is around 30 inches in most communities on the island. Hopefully there's not a lot of winter kill, but if things keep going the way they are, it could be a rough one. Wolves get the...

    Thanks. Variety can make for some interesting pairings when hunting with buddies!

    Southeast Alaska Rut Hunting Tips, By Jeff Lund

    From this bed a deer could see me if I'm in the muskeg and take off out the back side without me ever knowing. It would also take off if I just plowed straight ahead to the edge of the muskeg.

    Southeast Alaska Rut Hunting Tips, By Jeff Lund

    Thanks! Bedded spots give deer a feeling of protection, but they won't be so protected they put themselves in a situation with no option. So just off a nice game trail through thick brush there might be a nice little bed at the base of a tree surrounded mostly bu thick cover, but there will be...

    Desperation leads to poor hunting ethics. Nice bull!

    7mm-08 for Alaska Bear

    Nice work! Glad it worked out for you. Where did you end up going? I've been walking around with my bow the last few weekends in the alpine looking for a berry bear. Haven't had the chance to pull the trigger. Looking for some summer sausage.

    DIY - SE Alaska Coastal Black Bear Hunt, Thoughts..

    Some lodges on POW and in Ketchikan allow you to take their skiffs, but others have boundary restrictions. Ketchikan isn't remote, but there are some nice bears around. Knudson Cove Marina has skiff and Hewescraft rentals, but I am not positive they rent for bear season. Plenty of territory...

    7mm-08 for Alaska Bear

    Taken 2 with a .270. Placement is so key. Tracking can be tough too because the fat and hair (even in Spring) will turn great blood into next to nothing. Whatever you are going to make the best shot with? Who are you going with?

    Chichagof vs Prince of Wales (sitka deer)

    Excellent. Log Cabin in Craig is an awesome outdoors store. They also own Black Bear in Klawock. http://www.harentals.com/ for the rental.

    Sitka blacktail

    Fly outs can be excellent, but multiple carriers sometimes end up dropping hunters in the same spots. South Prince of Wales has been a hot spot for a while now, so there are a bunch of people looking for insight on Facebook groups and booking fly outs from Ketchikan. Prince of Wales has an...

    Chichagof vs Prince of Wales (sitka deer)

    Population on POW is down, but residents on Chichagof are trying to make it off limits to non-federally qualified hunters because they say the same. You can rent a vehicle from DJ and drive all around and camp wherever. I am not sure Chichagof provides that freedom. If you have the time...

    Prince of wales blacktail DIY

    The deer will be there, but not in the easy to see alpine or the easy to access muskeg. Look for bedding areas on the edges of clearcuts. Put some money in the local economy too. It's a great island with tons of friendly people. If you come out without a buck, at least have some memories of a...

    Chichagof vs Prince of Wales (sitka deer)

    POW has a better road system which is both a blessing and a curse. All easy access will likely have footprints. Are you in state? Out? What is your travel budget?
