Hello all, and thanks for the add. My family and I live on the north end of Prince of Wales Island. . . hence the POW. Grew up hunting northeast whitetails, grouse, waterfowl etc. . . Along the way I won the Amateur National Grouse Championship and International Woodcock Championship with a pointer I raised and trained. Now I, my wife and the five boys we adopted live off the road system on the north end of the island. We hunt Sitka blacktail, moose, waterfowl, and catch the odd salmon and halibut. My 13 year old is very close to earning his half of a Tikka T3X Veil Alpine with which to start the season with in a few weeks. Thanks for the join.

Welcome!
I am planning a SE AK hunt for 2021. I'm all ears for stories and advice.

Heaven on Earth, isn't it!
Where? Do plenty of e-scouting to identify nutrient traps/feeding areas. These rainforest soils are notoriously poor in nutrients due to leaching. The deer are attracted to areas underlain by limestone, grass flats at the mouths of salmon creeks, and so on. A lot of muskegs look good but don't have much for food, so little deer traffic. 20' into the old growth and there will be plenty of sign, and 30' of visibility. Be sure to have a gps program on your phone or a Garmin. The muskegs all look the same, especially in the rain and mist. Use a call. Drop Shot calls are very popular throughout the region.

Welcome! My wife and I were fortunate to spend several days on the north half of POW last summer. Incredible place.
