Alaska Sitka Black-tailed Deer Hunting 8.27.12

On August 1st the fall deer hunting season starts in Area 6D: time to go after those high ground bucks. Every year we get several hunters that like to go after the bucks in velvet. This is also one of my favorite hunts; not only do we get some choice meat from these grass feed bucks but the views from the high ground are spectacular. We have even seen whales breaching miles away in the passages between the islands. August offers fair weather for camping and an opportunity to harvest some of Prince William Sound’s famous blue berries. If you bring a raft, there are still plenty fish to catch. August offers a bounty of wild food to harvest and Prince William Sound is a paradise for those who like to harvest their own. This season there will be more snow left over from last winter in the high ground. Whittier received over 42 feet of snow last winter. One thing I have noticed about the left over deposits of snow, as they melt there is fresh vegetation sprouting around the edges which attracts deer. With the warm weather there will be black flies so be prepared with bug nets and gloves they work better than any bug dope. Avoid hunting or camping around standing fresh water and lagoons. This year the bugs are especially bad on the main land in the sound so try hunting on the islands where breezes from the sea will give you relief. Be sure to bring fine mesh game bags and plenty of black pepper to sprinkle on your game to discourage flies.
