Living in southeast Alaska, under the dark damp temperate rain forest canopy lives the Sitka Blacktail Deer. Small in stature (80-150 lbs) to aid in moving through dense undergrowth, the Sitka is an elusive and often difficult hunt.
Since I live in the Last Frontier and hunt these critters every year, I was wondering how many others have had the joy of bagging one of these little known Cervines? If you have hunted the Sitka, what was your method? Where did you go? Sitka Blacktail meat is very lean, not gamey at all, and tender. A massive buck would be around 180 pounds and a 4x4 rack (8 point if your one of those that says it wrong). These deer rarely score above 100 on the B&C scale. The compact racks look similar to a Mule Deer, but miniature.
Anyway, lets see those Sitka's!
