SITKA – BLACKTAIL DEER

This deer species is really fun to hunt by spot and stalk as they are not real spooky at all. You may harvest one or two deer per person depending on population and State Regulations. Populations may change from year to year based on the winter so we'll stay in contact with you to be sure you're coming on a good year and adjust as needed. The Sitka - Blacktail is one of the best tasting deer.
