A Buck on the Alders
First light on the ridge, snow starting to stack on the alders. A mature blacktail stepped clear at 80 yards. That's why you come here.

DIY Sitka blacktail deer hunts on Kodiak Island. Seaducks, saltwater fishing, and crab on the side. Float plane, meals, and lodging included.
A Kodiak Island hunt, done right
We fly you from Kodiak by float plane, meet you at the yacht, and move you along the coast into fresh country every day. Sitka blacktail on the beaches and alder benches in the morning, seaducks and fishing in the afternoon, crab pots pulled at dusk.
This is a DIY hunt — you carry your rifle and pick your ground. We handle the boat, the meals, the bunks, the crab, and the fillet knife. Bring your license and your rain gear.
Deer, ducks, halibut, and crab. From a boat. On Kodiak.

What's Included

DIY yacht-based blacktail hunts on Kodiak Island — the yacht is your basecamp, the island is your hunting ground.

Harlequin, eider, and long-tailed ducks. Halibut, rockfish, salmon, and Kodiak's legendary Dungeness and tanner crab.

Float plane from Kodiak, meals, lodging aboard the yacht, and gear support. You show up ready to hunt.
Hunters supply their own Alaska licenses, deer tags, and applicable federal duck stamps. Confirm current regulations with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game before booking.

The Captain
Running the Kodiak coast is a full-time craft — tides, weather, beach approaches, and knowing where the deer are moving week to week. We've been at it a long time, and we run these trips the way we'd want them run for us.
"You hunt hard all day. You come back to a hot meal, a warm bunk, and crab on the table. That's a Kodiak trip."
