I just returned from my first deer hunt of the season. Our season opens August 1 and runs through the end of January. However, the mature deer usually stay up high until the snow pushes them to the lower elevations. Since I have a freezer full of moose I haven't been in any hurry.
I took a friends 12 year old son for an over night trip to a neighboring island to see if there were any big bucks down low yet. Unfortunately we are having a mild fall so they're still out of reach of my old legs. There are still plenty of bear around. However, I didn't shoot one. Just to much trouble to deal with by myself.
Any of you fellows make it to southeast Alaska this year for a hunt? You know we can hunt big game of one type or another almost year round here. Moose season is over, but there is still sitka blacktail deer, brown bear, black bear, mountain goat, wolves and an assortment of other critters. Not to mention waterfowl.
Have a good season!
