Guided Kodiak Blacktail Hunt
Our guided Kodiak Blacktail hunt is conducted in a legendary exclusive concession on the South end of Kodiak Island first held by “Frenchie” Lamoureux.
Our outfitter was awarded this Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge concession through a competitive prospectus process in the fall of 2022 and will hold the permit starting in 2024. Even this concession is new to him, it is very familiar because his entire crew guided for the previous outfitter.
Many very prominent hunters make annual pilgrimages to Kodiak blacktail hunt with this outfitter.
- Combos are available. The Fall brown bear/Sitka blacktail hunt combos are amazing, and you can also choose a mountain goat/Sitka blacktail hunt.
- Sitka deer are generally abundant in this area with lots of action and extremely high success rates.
- Lodging for these hunts will be in cabins. These will provide a warm, dry base camp, but some hunts require spike camps.

Remote, Unparalleled Access
This area of Kodiak Island is remote with fly in or boat access only. By traveling via the live-aboard vessel, hunters have access to remote hunting opportunities around the island.
Our transporter has years of experience and knows where and when he can drop off hunters to get into deer. There are plenty of smaller bays and lagoons to be dropped off so you likely won’t hunt the same area twice in a week! Your Captain will be dropping you off and picking you up on the beach daily.
You’ll be up early for hot breakfast and coffee, then shuttled to shore by small boat or Zodiac. Return pick up in the evening at your drop-off spot and back to the boat to dry out gear, relax, shower and enjoy supper. After a good night sleep in the warm two person room, you are back at it the next day. Groups have daily options of hunting deer, sea ducks or fishing.
You should see plenty of mature Sitka blacktail bucks if you get out and hike.
Depending on the time of year you may have to hike up higher to the brush line to find them or if weather has set in they will be down closer to the beaches. This area of Kodiak typically doesn’t see the winter kill like other parts of the island and has concentrations of deer.

Patrick Kissel –
What a way to end the week! We had six deer and two Alaska mountain goats for the four of us and many laughs and memories. We will be back…
Jesse Neveau –
The hunt on Kodiak Island was excellent. Hunting was great we saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was excellent. I would highly recommend this trip to other DIY hunters. It should be noted that the hunt is somewhat physical and it is unguided however, to me that is what makes a hunt fun and memorable. I would do this hunt again for sure.
Brian Thomas –
Our group of six all killed bucks and caught fish and had a great time.
Charles Umemoto –
Excellent service from start to finish. Weather had us delayed on extraction for nearly a week but the outfitter housed us, fed us and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay.
Dan Koshiyama –
We had arrived at Old Harbor and at the dock we were met by the two Captains of the two boats. The cook had coffee to warm us up. After orientation of the safety rules of the boat we put out to sea. The scenery was breathe taking. The whole trip the Captain put the boat in calm waters when we anchored. His knowledge of the area was impressive. The cook gave us some great meals. When we weren’t hunting we were fishing or trying to duck hunt. The fishing was very productive. We caught fish that we had never seen before. The cook and Captain informed us of what type of fishes we were catching and if they were good to eat. It was a lot of fun. Very well run outfitter.
