At a Glance
This unit is found in southeast Alaska and is more commonly known by its proper name, Prince of Wales Island. This area has historically produced some great bears but is also known for bears with badly rubbed hides. Like most of the southeastern islands, hunting tactics for bears are largely centered around skiff hunting along shores and inlets. Along with black bears, hunters will also find ample opportunities for Sitka Blacktail which can be sought after in a variety of terrain features depending on the time of year.
Deer and bear populations are great, as well as trophy potentials, on this island and hunters will generally have little trouble in locating animals. Great options for access will be found here whether hunters are utilizing boats, planes, or vehicles.
