kodiak buck? great buck!

any coastal blacktail is going to be the prettiest deer in the world from Oct on with their fall colors, but them Sitka Blacktail are on a different level of beauty, their capes are just so awesome.... i do think the POW sitka blacktail are the very prettiest, especially those bucks with the neon orange antlers, but those Kodiak bucks aren't far behind.

i'm still trying to decide what region to go hunt up there... it's between kodiak and POW, and it will be a mid Oct hunt or possibly early Nov, and i want to bring a couple back to shoulder mount, collect a couple specimens.

i have heard those kodiak bucks eat really well too, which is a plus, but none eat bad

well done, that's a stunning buck!

Yes it is a Kodiak buck and thank you. I’m not sure there are many deer around that are better looking than a Sitka blacktail. I can confirm that the deer here in Kodiak eat very well.

I probably should have held out to see what opportunities the end of the season may have held with rut activity picking up, alas, I couldn’t resist punching my Oregon “rifle tag” (any legal weapon) on this buck with my bow.

Old Harbor Kodiak blacktails. Velvet deer had no testicles so he stays in velvet. Awesome time in the hardest terrain I have ever walked through. 400 yard shot on the velvet deer and it took 90 minutes to get to him crossing the alder choked creeks.

Taken from (family) property I could hunt, but choose not to so far. Waiting in small parcels near houses isnt my kind of hunting. Decent buck though, and hes little compared to what has been seen roaming the neighborhood. Now put that buck way up on a mountain and Id be stoked. WIsh I could share this person’s smile (dont know em), but ill just tell you - its huge. Glad they are super happy as they should be!!

The velvet buck had over a inch of fat on his whole back, and the others had over half a inch everywhere as well.

My 2021 Ca b zone buck. Set a goal of really wanting a 140” deer this year but couldn’t hold out any longer when I saw how old this deer looked. The most worn teeth of any blacktail I’ve ever shot

Thanks man, I was fighting the rising sun in my face and had to make a sprint downhill into the shade for a shot where my only window was very steep and uncomfortable so I honestly couldn’t really tell what he was all I saw was good mass, old body and the goofy backend on the 6 side. One shot cross canyon at 300 yards and the rest was history
