Its range has been expanded by transplants, and established populations now exist near Yukutat, in Prince William Sound and on Kodiak and Afognak Islands. Sitka Backtails are smaller and stalkier than Columbian blacktails and generally have smaller horns. Very few score more than 110 points on the Boone and Crockett scoring system. With a net score of 108 being required to make the book. Additional information on Alaska's Sitka Blacktails Please read photo requirements before submitting photos
