Sitka blacktail deer hunts deliver an unforgettable Southeast Alaska experience. Operating from the M/V Denali or possibly spike camps, hunters are immersed in prime, untamed deer country where opportunity begins the moment you step ashore. Each day is an adventure, covering ground through rugged coastal terrain while glassing and stalking blacktails in their wild, natural habitat. These hunts are fast-paced, physically engaging, and incredibly rewarding, with the opportunity to harvest up to two deer—perfect for hunters seeking challenge, adventure, and a true backcountry pursuit.
