Just back from second deer hunt of season, hunted 2 islands that have always had good deer numbers, very little sign. Has anyone else noticed deer numbers seem to be down in PWS or am I just having bad luck?

Kodiak is horrible... and PWS usually suffers more...

I’ve never found Green or the Naked Island Group to hold a lot of Deer,nor Knight Island.I haven’t seen the 2017 Deer Pelllet survey by the Fish and Game .

Early season Latouche Island North end always seems to have Deer even on a bad year.

Knight we hunted once, it was pretty, never saw a deer or hardly any sign. OTOH when you are out in the woods its all good anyway.

That is interesting... usually see more as we go South. Will have to take a look at the map.

Shot one very similar on Afognak in the mid 80s.

Dayom. So cold its horns froze.
