Island-wide opportunities for guided and DIY hunts in many terrains
Prince of Wales Island is a world-class hunting destination, known for trophy Sitka black-tailed deer, large black bears and outstanding waterfowl. Deer season runs August through December. Residents and nonresidents may take as many as four bucks. Hunters work alpine areas early in the season and hunt the rut during autumn in lower-elevation muskeg mead - ows and big timber. Several local providers offer guided hunts. U.S. Forest Service rental cabins are used as bases by many hunters. For do-it-yourself hunters, check for local businesses that rent all-terrain vehicles for easier access to remote mountain areas. One outfitter rents camping gear and can be hired to set up your camp at a cabin or on the extensive road system.
