DIY Blacktail Deer Hunting in Southeast Alaska

Self-Guided Sitka Blacktail Deer Hunts

We are a locally owned and operated business based out of Sitka, Alaska that offers some of the best blacktail hunting in the world. Sitka is located in southeast Alaska which is part of the Tongass National Forest at 16.7 million acres. There is an amazing deer population at our location which can be harvested from August 1st until December 31st. We recommend hunting the rut from mid-October through mid-December.
