RE: Blacktails in SE Alaska
I did a self-guided blacktail hunt back in 2000,out ofSitka. We went around the middle of Sept if I remember correct. Two of three shot respectible bucks (I was the one who didn't). At that time they were still up in the hills/alpine.
Awesome country, saw a decent amount of deer, caught a ton of fish, saw lots of bears. It was my first trip to AK and won't be my last.
I plan on doing it again in a few years, but will do it as a deer/black bear combo this time.
Let me know if you need more info.
