Hey thanks a million for all the information guys. Some really valuable tips there. Is there plenty of water up high late August-early september?
Yes. Often in the form of very small rainwater runoff streams, but it is there.

Hunting Sitka Blacktail on Kodiak has been on my realistic bucket list for years & we’ve decided to make it happen in ‘22. I am hoping to get a bunch of questions answered by the numerous guys here that have been there.
1) We want to do a fly in hunt either in a cabin or tent camp. A cabin with heat sounds appealing if the weather is foul but am wondering how the hunting from a cabin will be compared to a tent camp rental scenario? We don’t mind covering ground & would consider bringing spike camps to overnight out away from the cabin to locate bigger & more bucks. A electric fence rental might be required for this?
2) Approximately how much per person does the plane trip from Kodiak into a cabin or backcountry location cost? We were wondering if we could do a diy hunt for $3000 a guy coming from Washington?
3) We’re thinking late October-early November to hunt the rut. How many days should we allow ourselves to hunt with 3 or 4 people & 2 tags each?
4) Anybody have experience with the f&g cabins or any private rentals? How difficult is it to secure reservations & was it a good experience?
5) How much extra cost is there getting a couple deer home to Wa on the airlines?
Any other tips & details would be welcome & appreciated
Interesting, I wonder why it’s so prevalent on Kodiak?
I’m going the last week of November to Kodiak for a hunt! Super excited as it’s been a hunt I’ve always wanted to do! I love Alaska and sure I will love hunting blacktail and sea ducks!Hunting Sitka Blacktail on Kodiak has been on my realistic bucket list for years & we’ve decided to make it happen in ‘22.
