Deer Hunt, August 22, 2009

Here is my first Sitka Black Tailed deer. Not a trophy, but a respectable buck.
Here is my hunting partner, Dave Mitchel and his nice buck. Deer like this are much easier to pack out. The two bodies of water behind us are Margaret Lake and Traitors Cove.


Hunting the ferocious deer

SE Alaska hunting logistics: load 4-wheeler and gear onto boat, boat out to dock and off load, drive to end of logging road, hike ~ 2500 vertical feet into alpine (above tree line), shoot deer, and head back.

Pretty scary stuff, especially the vertical feet stuff. Glad you're not afraid of heights!

so i think its kind of sad that your little deer comes from a family of little deer... you know... they dont get very big, yet it is still larger than any of my deer that i have ever shot! whats up with that???

Your friend Dave's deer is bigger than any deer I've shot - That's how I like them - no blood, easy to pack. They don't make good jerky, though...
