A deer obtained in murky circumstances?

 

[sestoppelman]

Pretty much. Alaska fisherman are infamous for shooting deer on the beach, hence the name.

Funny how these things come about (and get named).

A little history behind the shooting deer on the beach in Alaska for those of you not Familiar with hunting Sitka Blacktail Deer in Alaska. The deer season in Alaska is from August til Jan bucks only durring Aug & Sept the weather is still very warm and the deer are in the High Country to escape the bugs and when you do manage to get one the bears hear the shot and as far as their concerned that's a dinner bell. so a lot of hunters wait for the later season where they can hunt either sex. Oct - Jan usaully means snow on the ground sometime 3 or 4 feet of it so deer go to the beach to eat the kelp that floats in because they can't get to the grass and the hunters go to the beach to shoot the deer. and no bluey it's not wrong several times I've put bear meat in the freezer while out salmon fishing.

With the 'occasional' deer taken on the beach out of season. SE Alaska has so many deer I doubt you could take them all if the season were open year round, either sex.

Which brings to mind if you guys are going in the fall think of a deer tag as well, nothing wrong with some camp meat to go with the Dungeness Crab and ringing a few dinner bells as well.

I'm thinking 1 or 2 may pocket a deer tag.

Fished POW just last fall (Sept). Fished with black bear on two separate occasions during my 6 days there. Inexpensive and can go home with late run silvers and bear. Not sure if the deer season is open at that time, but they are like rabbits and will come to within 10yds of you. I was thinking about doing this exact hunt in 2016...if you are going in 2016 hit me up...I will go.
