Hey all. I'm 75-90 percent cancelled my pronghorn trip this fall after deciding that the access issues for my leftover unit just aren't worth it. I figured since I already have an Alaska hunting license it's not much more to go somewhere where I don't have to share a stump with another hunter
I'd be going in October so too late to be ideal for black bear probably. I'veve always wanted to hunt blacktail sometime but this would have to be based off a road system though I'd be hiking in and living on the ground. It'd be in October so I think in the thick stuff in the rut...not my first choice but I can't go in September.
So...my question:. Has anyone ever hunted around Ketchikan or Juneau? I know they have smaller deer than the island locations but I've also read that at least one of those towns has plenty of trails around it. That'd be great...and reasonably accessible for me.
PS if you aren't comfortable posting even about the general location around cities on the forum, please pm I appreciate the help. Please no details posted publically!
Ps2 specifically prince of Wales or Kodiak island as Ketchikan is technically on an island
