TRIP TAKEN: DIY Vessel-based Sitka Blacktail Deer Hunt on Kodiak Island
CONSULTANT: Outdoors International
November 1-7, 2020
Our unguided hunting trip on Kodiak Island for Sitka blacktail deer was amazing. The boat was comfortable and food was good. Hot, real food, and warm place to dry gear and sleep each day makes all the difference when hunting Kodiak. We started out in an unbelievable area where all four of us harvested Sitka blacktail bucks each of the first two days. As the weather changed our Captain moved the boat to calmer waters and we were able to explore new areas.
We saw several big brown bears, mountain goats, sea ducks, fox and lots of deer! Since I’m an Alaska resident, I was able to hunt mountain goats as well on this hunt. We threw the crab pot out daily and enjoyed some fresh seafood. On the return trip, we stopped and caught rockfish and halibut, a real bonus to end a great hunt!
The outfitters whole crew is awesome. Hard working group that wants you to be successful.
- My outfitter’s communication before, during and after the trip was perfect, I couldn’t have asked for more.
- Physically, the trip was difficult.
- The food was good.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
