A unique animal, and conversation success story, if Alaska’s population of Roosevelt Elk. The elk were originally introduced in Alaska on Afognak Island in 1929 were they also eventually moved to Raspberry Island. In 1986 elk were also transplanted to Etolin Island where they again thrived and eventually populated the neighboring Zarembo Island. Today, the elk can also be found on Kodiak Island and are still doing great.
Tags can be hard to draw at times but hunters can expect a unique and exciting hunting experience. This hunt can be extremely physically demanding and rewarding. Trophy qualities are extremely low with the true trophy falling with the adventure. These elk can grow to massive proportions with mature bulls tipping the scales over 1,300 pounds or more.
