BigFin,

That is the episode that started my infatuation for hunting POW blacktail. I remember when I was younger I watched a guy in an old Realtree Video go to Kodiak and stalked a blacktail. The deer acted like it had never seen a human in its life before. Back then I wondered why somebody would travel that far to shoot a buck with such a small rack but I know now. grin

If you go in August to the alpine, you will not be able to stop dreaming about your next August Sitka Blacktail hunt.

My friend and his 201st blacktail, most all with his Hawken.

My next trip will be with a sharp stick and a string.
