Alaska: Kodiak Island’s Deer Hunt

They call it the Emerald Isle, but there is nothing green about Kodiak Island in October and November. Winter is on the way and the vegetation is yellowed and brown with decay.

Kodiak Island is the second largest island in the United States. Mountainous and forested in the north, the island is more open in the south. Often in the fall, the peaks are enveloped in clouds. And the snowline marches down toward the sea. Every hunt starts at the beach.
