Help from Ketchikan Hunters?

[AKanders]

Hello All!

I am heading down to Ketchikan later this week for a 4 day work trip and I am wondering if its worth it for me to bring my rifle for some deer hunting? I struck out on moose AND caribou this year and am looking for some venison to fill the freezer with. I will be in the Carlanna Lake area for the survey I am conducting, but will have some mobility along the road system. I am aware that you must be 1/4 mile off the road system to take any big game, and I am prepared to hike/climb to hunting areas.

Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

There is hunting in the area. Or hike in on one of the many trails in the area.

The 'rut' is starting to get into swing.
