I have only shot a dozen. But mine are all from Kodiak and the other islands there. The dozen I mentioned were just the ones that were big enough for the book.

I do think Dave, Bill and Calvino could add some helpful advice, as well as Sitka deer it appears...

Looks to score more than 19 inches to me. Maybe thats a net and not gross score?

Great, thanks guys. I am now debating what time I would want to go. It would be hard for me to leave the Kansas Rut in November. I may go earlier and hunt the Alpine. I've got my work cut out for me I guess... 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.

I appreciate the fact you didn't have to remind the www that " made book", if only obviously...your friend, like it or not, is a legend, in my mind anyhow.... What a modest, easy going straight phucqking savage!!! Much respect and grats Randy...

Yes, he is modest, easy going, and as much fun to hunt with as any guy I've had the pleasure to share a camp with. We are planning a return trip to the high alpine for next August and a Wyoming pronghorn hunt for late September 2017. I only hope I can be half the host that he is. Without him and his kindness of inviting me along to fulfill what has been a dream of my entire adult life, I would have never had such a great hunt with such great end results.

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. Great, thanks guys. I am now debating what time I would want to go. It would be hard for me to leave the Kansas Rut in November. I may go earlier and hunt the Alpine. I've got my work cut out for me I guess...
