Whittier Water Taxi 2011 Deer Hunter Transport

Prince William Sound Alaska deer season is just starting. Whittier Water Taxi is gearing up for our favorite buck season. This is the time to hunt Prince William Sound deer if you are looking for bucks in velvet. From August 1st to September 30th is bucks only. I personally enjoy hiking to the high ground and taking in the spectacular views from atop the mountains on the islands of Prince William Sound. Around the upper alpine slopes is where I have harvested some of the nicest velvet bucks ever. When going after these high ground bucks I go prepared to bone them out on the spot. Two boned out bucks is my load limit for the hike back down to camp. Due to the warm weather of this early season we carry black pepper to sprinkle on the meat to keep the flies away and good quality game bags are a must. I always look for the real finely woven cloth bags. The tight weave will prevent flies from laying eggs on the meat. I find the old style army laundry bags work perfectly as well. When hiking to the high ground, remember to carry plenty of water. A water filter will cut down on the amount of water you have to carry. The hike to the high ground can be hot and humid but once on top, expect a cool breeze. You might consider bringing a light wind breaker to prevent a chill from the evaporating perspiration. We have hunted Prince William Sound for over 25 years and enjoy filling our freezer with the delicious table fare it has to offer.
