No they aren;t the biggest trophy out there but they are one of the prettiest.
I thought it would be a great hunt for a kid. Country is pretty steep but you just have to go slow and break trail for them. My only concern with taking my twelve year old was the bears. Wasn't to concerned for myself but a kid is just more thing to worry about. But with the fishing and duck hunting also available on Kodiak I think any kid would have a blast.
Here is one from out trip last year.
I don't know why these pictures keep comin up so small!!!

first off, if you really want to enjoy hunting them, ya gotta get the size outa yer head, they aren't whitetail...they are not mule deer, gotta love them fro what they are, the prettiest deer out there, mor markin's than anything i've ever seen.
Some call them stupid, but somehow very very few people shoot big ones....they don't jump when you walk by sometimes, makin' them very hard to see, they like alpine country up very very high in the weahter or rut hasnt' pushed them down (kodiak i'm talking here, now PWS) They are heavier than they look, very muscular.
One of my favorite hunts in alaska. like it was posted earlier kodiak is very steep, if you take a kid there make sure he's in some sorta shape and not playstation shape, go later in november when the deer should be pushed down lower and just educate him on the bears a bit and if you see one, watch and it and don't freak out, that way he won't freak out if he sees one going to the crapper or something, the bears will leave you alone, if they didn't you'd hear about waves of guys getting nailed every fall deer season but it just happens soooooo rarely, most guys just get scared by them and dont' take the time to really get to know them...lol
feel freet to PM me if you'd like with specific questions i guide deer down there so have some experience with different people hunting these deer.

NICE! Was the guy in the real scenic photo trying to arrow one initially? Just noticed the armguard.
A good pard's Grandfather had never chased/killed a Sitka,despite being a life long resident,so I took him out one afternoon. His hopes were to kill one with his Black Widow longbow/POC shafts and feathers,but we were split up for most the day and I never paired with him to call one in.
Spied that Buck in heavy cover,setup the shot and camera both and offered him to Pop's ala my 1-7.7" Kreiger 22-250AI scooting Scirocco II's at 3450fps.
Pretty easy to see trace and him being frozen. Noone else in the party could see him,until directed...but I've never seen anyone rival my ability with bino's.

Dude - Did you loan that guy your motorbike?
Is that all you got for photos? I'm sorta bummed that it's all the bigger they get.. hard to get excited about.. but it looks fun, especially some of the countryside and velvet bucks. Later capes sure look better though..

There has been on long-standing rule here that is going to be enforced..it has lapsed recently. No name-calling, no changing of people's log-in names, etc. outside of the "restricted" sections like Current Events and Sportsman's Issues. I can't be online every second, but.....

So I don't even get the satisfaction of seeing what creative names he can come up with?

Jose bashes me constantly about enforcing this rule impartially. If you are okay with Big Stick calling you names, then I have no problem with it. Moosie owns this forum and he has made that rule...not me.
Big Stick - if you don't like the rules, don't post here. I'm sure someone of your lofty intellect can understand that.

Calf Hunter, take a look at the nice deer photos on this thread, the humorous banter, and the view count by interested hunters.
