Yeah man whittier is the gateway to the PWS besides valdeez and cordova. You can find deer anywhere in the sound but i would look at knight island and green island.
Im not going to get to specific because a trip out to PWS for deer is going to require a lot of planning nobody can do for you but yourself.

It really depends on where in the Sound you're hunting them at. If you're bear hunting on the mainland, it makes sense that you wouldn't see many tracks. On many of the islands out there, however, there are plenty of deer to make for a good hunting trip. I have a friend who just recently got back - out of their group of 4 they took 17 deer in 3 days. Not bad at all, and no trip down south necessary!

Get some black tail!
Hey Bm as soon as I plan on a 4 day weekend to go get some deer I will let you know. It's always nice learning from someone with experience. Do you think a 16' boat will get us were we need to be? If needed I can arange 2 16' boats. Take it easyGood judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

16' would be pretty iffy in the Sound in the winter. If you were going out in August you would be fine, but the weather can be notoriously nasty in the fall and winter. With a nice weather window it would be doable, especially to a closer island like Perry or maybe Naked, but still...sketchy at best.

There aren't nearly as many deer on the mainland, a_p_m. They were only transplanted to the islands, though small numbers have moved onto the mainland. I've got a friend who setnets in Main Bay, and in two seasons I think he has seen a deer or two.

-BrianAn opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.

I just came back from a successful hunt on Knight Island on Fri/Sat. The water/weather in the Sound was great, but Passage Canal was horrific on Sat evening...intense wind, heavy seas and freezing spray...the last 3 miles to the harbor were not fun. A 16' boat is not a good way to go. Good luck, the deer were reasonably plentiful and down on the beaches.
