Mountain Goat, Brown Bear and Sitka Blacktail Deer Hunts on Kodiak Island

Kodiak Island is home to legendary giant bears, Sitka blacktail deer, mountain goats, abundant waterfowl and exceptional marine life.

These hunts will be conducted in a legendary exclusive concession on the South end of Kodiak Island first held by “Frenchie” Lamoureux. Our outfitter was awarded this Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge concession through a competitive prospectus process in the fall of 2022 and will hold the permit starting in 2024. Even this concession is new to him, it is very familiar because his entire crew guided for the previous outfitter.

Lodging for these hunts will be in cabins. These will provide a warm, dry base camp, but some hunts require spike camps.

Brown Bear hunting on Kodiak Island in Alaska is famous for good reason.

• The spring brown bear hunts on Kodiak Island have a very high success rate for the largest Brown Bears anywhere in the world.
• Fall bear hunts are a little tougher, with weather always an issue but success rates are still very high and great deer hunting is included in the price of fall bear hunts.

Mountain goats live in extremely high densities in this area of Kodiak Island.

• This isn’t an easy hunt though. Mountains are vertical and brush can be thick.
• Mountain goat hunting on Kodiak Island has been very near 100% over the years for people in good physical condition.
• All goat hunts include one Sitka deer.

Sitka blacktail deer are one of the rare game animals that really get in your blood.

• Many very prominent hunters make annual pilgrimages to the Kodiak area to match wits with Sitka blacktail deer.
• Sitka deer are generally abundant with lots of action and extremely high success rates.
