Bear Hunting Prince Of Wales Island, Alaska

Imagine yourself stalking a Sitka black-tailed deer in an alpine bowl on a late-summer morning or sneaking along a salmon choked stream in search of a black bear. These are just some of the hunting opportunities that are available on Prince of Wales Island. Don't forget your spinning rod, the silvers will be hitting in late August through October.

Due to long hunting seasons, a variety of hunting opportunities are available for Sitka black-tailed deer and black bear. Deer season begins in late summer with the opportunity to harvest a velvet antlered buck and runs through "the rut" in late fall. Bear hunting is split into two seasons; spring and fall. Both seasons offer the hunter an opportunity to harvest a quality bear. Though the fall season doesn't rewuire salvaging the meat of black bear due to it not being very palatable this time of year.

I've been to POW Island the last 2 years in a row. I hunted bear last year and harvested a nice POW Black Bear. This year I only fished for silver(Coho) salmon but a friend of mine harvested another bear. Both years provided ample opportunity to harvest a bear. We also spotted many Sitka's although no bucks. I'm told that most good size bucks are held up at about 3400 ft just above tree line.
