Hunting on Sitkinak?

Anyone hunt deer there recently? How was your experience? Trying to decide if we should give it a go in Oct.

Pick your campsite well, because you'll want to block the wind. You'll be completely exposed on that island.

I have heard that. Are the deer populations strong enough? I read the long range hunting has really hurt the deer numbers since they dont have any cover? Do you think this accurate?

I would hunt Kodiak, instead.

I have been there a few times and I would second what Mykolaivka887 said... It can be pretty miserable, expensive and overall the deer are smaller.

With that said if you can get a good drop on the southern side of the island it's generally a pretty decent hunt.
