Not sure about POW but I believe it is usually four. The tags are $150 a piece last I checked and hunting license $90.

If there is a group that is interested in having Mike Jenkins as your cook, skinner, hunting companion which he knows a lot about Prince of Wales island and is a great guy which he can help with finding and judging Sitka Blacktails especially if you don't know much about them and hate for someone to pass up a trophy thinking they are bigger than they are. Non residents are allowed 4 deer

Looks like there are several outfitters offering DIY hunts out of Thorne Bay. Prices all seem to be around 2 grand with pickups, and sometimes boats available, as well as the lodging.
I'd be very interested in a hunt like this, even an archery hunt. Bear is draw only, but the deer licenses and tags can be bought online or upon arrival.

Come on Brian! Let's go!

Don't tempt me Mike.

So 4 deer and lodging, food and a truck to barrow? 2000 bucks

I was assuming the $2k didn't include the 4 tags.

:yeah:
I would venture to say in the end it would be closer to $4k by the time a guy figures in Air Fair, baggage costs, Tags, License, and such. But it is easier to spread out over time than just paying a guide $5k or more for other hunts.
Buy license, tags one month, Air Fair another, find out what baggage will cost to get your meat home save that one month, etc. $2k up front for four Deer is a little easier to palate compared to a Moose hunt in AK. :twocents:
I have done this several times with my brother (he lives in SE AK) and with having family there it still cost me about $1500 or more and that is pitching in for food and fuel on top of Air Fair, and Tags etc.

More pics

That second one is gorgeous.

I have a friend that lives in Sitka. You can walk down to the beach and shoot deer. The locals either drive the roads out of town and shoot deer or take a boat ride and shoot them on the beach. They are everywhere.

Here is a collage of the pics 2 pictures won't load

For the hunters that tag out early or they don't have a season like the bowhunters in late November early December you can hunt Sitka Blacktails in October & November. This is a great hunt I have hunted Prince of Wales a couple years in a row and encountered many bucks and huge Black Bears too
