Good evening, I'm looking to get some information on deadmans bay on Kodiak. It's looks pretty mountainous from google earth. Anybody here hunt deer from that bay? I'm looking at either the cabin or hiking in from the end of the bay. Thoughts? Thanks guys.

Yep, at least one that I know of. Pretty sure it was Alaska Outdoors Television, not 100% sure though.

I know it gets hit pretty hard for goats, not positive for deer.

Not my first choice for deer or goats. I’m sure our resident expert on everything in the world will chime in

Not my first choice for deer or goats. I’m sure our resident expert on everything in the world will chime in well, thank you for the lead in.. Deadman Bay, hhmm yes do it.. Or as the nike commercial says just do it! let me go refill my tobacco pipe gents and refill my cup with some Booker T.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Ever since they did a show from that cabin it has gotten hammered. Actually, all of the Refuge cabins have been well known forever. They are okay very early in the season and during the peak of the rut. Other than that they get hammered hard and trophy deer are scarce in the vicinity of any of the cabins. It is fairly steep, but mostly open. There are no spruce patches of consequence, but a fair bit of alder. early in the season the bear grass is ridiculously high. Most years it is broken down by snow and heavy weather by November, but not always. It is miserable to hunt because the deer disappear in it. It is not what I would call mountainous near the cabin. Watch carefully for pushkie! The Anglo word for it is cow parsnip. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleum_lanatumAfter it frosts the main stem stays upright and the leaves and such fall down around it and turn to snot. Ice and pushkie snot can kill you! Should be good deer hunting as it is far enough south that heavy winters do not usually get there. Hunting all over Kodiak by boat we always avoid the cabins... getting just far enough ti hunt the areas the ground-based hunters would not reach, but where they would push the deer.

My house is owned free and clear and has been for decades. I do not need a loft in a little man's world to stay, even though it is rent free! I also have the drooler on ignore and only see it when the loser is quoted...

I know it gets hit pretty hard for goats, not positive for deer. The Unit get s hard for goats, because there are lots of goats there... but the cabin does not really do a lot for land-based goat hunters. If they are going to get a drop off they might as well get dropped off closer to the goats. There are a lot of goats up there and looking for a good goat in small groups does not make a lot of sense, IMO&E.

And the smell of urine is everywhere.... I believe you were contributing to the aroma when the idiot first showed up as a butthurt idiot. He took exception to the concept that moose antlers remain pretty much the same shape as they mature. He has proven an inability to think logically ever since...

So if the areas near the cabins get nailed pretty hard, anyone have any suggestions on areas to hunt? Haven't hunted Kodiak yet, always wanted to. Looking for a great adventure.

Are you thinking of trying a do-it-yourself trip or hiring a guide?
