Located on the south side of Kodiak Island is the remote native village of Old Harbor. Old Harbor boasts some of the best Sitka Black Tail deer populations in Alaska. Sitka Black Tail is one of the smallest species of the deer family that thrives on Kodiak Island.

Although the season opens in August, we do not start our hunts until October 23 ending December 16. The temperature begins to drop. The snow begins to fall in the higher elevations and the deer begin to move down to the lower elevation. Bucks are beginning to gather their does and go into rut. These combined conditions make this time of year ideal for black tail hunting.

Due to the past three winter’s extremely mild temperatures, 2006 will prove to be an outstanding year to successfully harvest your Sitka Black Tail deer. There is very little hunting pressure in Old Harbor. The area is very remote and the tough terrain will provide you with a challenging and rewarding hunt.

We base out hunts out of the Kodiak Sportsman’s Lodge. Each morning we will transport you to your hunting location for the days hunt. We will pick you up at a pre designated location and return you to the lodge for a hot shower and a fantastic Alaskan meal where you can relax and share your hunting stories. After you harvest your buck, you can add to your Alaskan experience by hunting fox, water fowl or fishing for winter King Salmon and halibut.

Our goal is to provide you with a first class hunt in remote Alaska that very few people have experienced.
