The hunter with his prey

Journey

A quiet moment in my kayak

Before we re-entered civilization in Sitka - we spent two days in a lovely anchorage doing some kayaking, watching the rain fall and the deer graze on the beach. By chance we ended up on an island known for it’s abundance of Black Tailed Sitka deer. They appeared to not be afraid of us as they watched us enter the anchorage and anchor. However they may have learned a new lesson about man. We were woken at 5:00 one morning by a gun shot. At least John was - I slept through it. John jumped out of bed and spent the next hour watching two hunters in a boat, skin and haul out one of the deer they had just shot. August 1st it was - the beginning of hunting season. The rest of the day the eagles and sea gulls had quite a feast on what the hunters had left behind.
