Kodiak Blacktail Hunt

[Ultrahunter]

Just got back from Kodiak the other day and had a great time. Though we got weathered into the boat for about a day and half we were still able to take as many bucks as we wanted to. These blacktail deer were quite a bit smaller than a muley but were really fun to hunt. Constant action as we saw deer all day long and were able to pick out a few that we liked. A great hunt that I hope to try again someday!

Heres buck number 1, a freak Stag that was to cool to pass! I actuallly didn't realize he had velvet on him until I walked up to him. I had seen the kicker off his base and decided to take him home.

Buck number 2 was a no brainer for me, he is pretty heavy and has decent main beams. Anyway I liked him so he got a free flight to Idaho!!

With two bucks down and only one tag left I really wanted to find a buck with at least 4 points on one side. I actually passed up a few bigger bucks before I found one with 4 points on both sides, he got a ride to Idaho too.

All in all the 6 guys on the boat killed 14 bucks that week, with my buddies and I taking 9 bucks home. Heres a picture of me and my friends with just our bucks.

Heres a final shot of all the horns together right before we left.

If any of you guys get a chance to go hunt on kodiak, DO IT!! Not just for the deer, but that place is cool. Got to see alot of wildlife including a couple brown bears and hundreds of bald eagles. A great hunt that I would recommend to anyone!

Thanks for sharing your story and pictures. I hunted Kodiak in '07 and it was awesome, I do plan to go back some day. What part of the island did you hunt? We hunted near Akhiok. Congratulations on the beautiful deer.
